Planted Planar Tree

A planted plane tree (V,E,v,alpha) is defined as a vertex set V, edges set E, root v, and order relation alpha on V which satisfies

1. For x,y in V if rho(x)<rho(y), then xalphay, where rho(x) is the length of the path from v to x,

2. If {r,s}, {x,y} in E, rho(r)=rho(x)=rho(s)-1=rho(y)-1 and ralphax, then salphay

(Klarner 1969, Chorneyko and Mohanty 1975). The Catalan numbers give the number of planar trivalent planted trees.
