For the analysis of an algorithm to generate binary trees, the behaviour of a certain sequence of numbers is essential. In the original paper, it was expressed by a recursion. Here, we show how to solve this (and similar) recursions, both explicitly and asymptotically. Some additional information about useful mathematical software is also provided.
