COMMENT

Take the rooted ternary tree of depth n, with (3^(n+1) - 1) / 2 labeled nodes. Let the number of rooted subtrees be a(n). For example, for n = 1 the a(2) = 8 subtrees are:

R...R...R...R......R.......R...R.......R

.../....|....\..../.\...../|...|\...../|\

..o.....o.....o..o...o...o.o...o.o...o.o.o

Then a(n+1) = (1+a(n))^3.

FORMULA

As for A004019, it follows from Aho and Sloane that there is a constant c such that a(n) is the nearest integer to c^(3^n). In fact a(n) = nearest integer to b^(3^n) - 1 where b = 2.0804006677503193521177452323719035237099784935372250879749088464344434056773788...
