Comments

The Matula-Goebel number of a rooted tree can be defined in the following recursive manner: to the one-vertex tree there corresponds the number 1; to a tree T with root degree 1 there corresponds the t-th prime number, where t is the Matula-Goebel number of the tree obtained from T by deleting the edge emanating from the root; to a tree T with root degree m>=2 there corresponds the product of the Matula-Goebel numbers of the m branches of T.

The sequence is infinite.

Examples

			7 is in the sequence because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y, having all leaves at level 2.
2^m is in the sequence for each positive integer m because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 2^m is a star with m edges.
From _Gus Wiseman_, Mar 30 2018: (Start)
Sequence of trees begins:
01 o
02 (o)
03 ((o))
04 (oo)
05 (((o)))
07 ((oo))
08 (ooo)
09 ((o)(o))
11 ((((o))))
16 (oooo)
17 (((oo)))
19 ((ooo))
21 ((o)(oo))
23 (((o)(o)))
25 (((o))((o)))
27 ((o)(o)(o))
31 (((((o)))))
(End)

Formula

In A184154 one constructs for each n the generating polynomial P(n,x) of the leaves of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n, according to their levels. The Maple program finds those n (between 1 and 500) for which P(n,x) is a monomial.
