COMMENT
|
The degree of each node is <= 4.
A centroid is a node with less than n/2 nodes in each of the incident subtrees, where n is the number of nodes in the tree. If a centroid exists it is unique.
Ignoring stereoisomers means that the children of a node are unordered. They can be permuted in any way and it is still the same tree. See A086194 for the analogous sequence with stereoisomers counted.
