The coat-hangers hang on a single rod and each coat-hanger may have 0, 1 or 2 coat-hangers hanging from it. There are n coat-hangers.
Arises when studying number of different configurations possible in a multiple star system.

FORMULA
|
G.f.: exp(sum_{k=1..infinity) B(x^k)/k ), where B(x) = x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 3*x^4 + 6*x^5 + 11*x^6 + ... = G001190(x)/x - 1 and G001190 is the g.f. for the Wedderburn-Etherington numbers A001190. - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com).
G.f.: 1/Product_{k>0} (1-x^k)^A001190(k+1). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), May 29 2005
