%N Number of bicolored trees on n unlabeled nodes such that every white node is adjacent to a black node.

%C The black nodes form a dominating set. For n > 0, a(n) is then the total number of indistinguishable dominating sets summed over distinct unlabeled trees with n nodes.

%e a(2) = 2 because at most one node can be colored white.

%e a(3) = 4 because the only tree is the path graph P_3. If the center node is colored white then both of the ends must be colored black; otherwise zero, one or both of the ends can be colored black. In total there are 4 possibilities.

%o (PARI) EulerT(v)={Vec(exp(x*Ser(dirmul(v,vector(#v,n,1/n))))-1, -#v)}

%o seq(n)={my(u=v=w=[]); for(n=1, n, my(t1=EulerT(v), t2=EulerT(u+v)); u=concat([1], EulerT(u+v+w)); v=concat([0], t2-t1); w=concat([1], t1)); my(g=x*Ser(u+v), guw=x^2*Ser(u)*Ser(w)); Vec(1 + g + (subst(g,x,x^2) - g^2 - 2*guw)/2)}
