Abstract

The notion of binomial coefficients (TS)T \choose S of finite planar, reduced rooted trees T,ST, S is defined and a recursive formula for its computation is shown. The nonassociative binomial formula (1+x)T=S(TS)xS(1 + x)^T = \displaystyle \sum_S {T \choose S} x^S for powers relative to TT is derived. Similarly binomial coefficients (TS,V) T \choose S, V of the second kind are introduced and it is shown that (x1+1x)T=S,V(TS,V)(xSxV)(x \otimes 1 + 1 \otimes x)^T= \displaystyle \sum_{S, V} {T \choose S, V} (x^S \otimes x^V) The roots 1+xT=(1+x)T1\sqrt[T]{1+x}= (1 + x) ^{T^{-1}} which are planar power series ff such that fT=1+x f^T= 1+x are considered. Formulas for their coefficients are given.
