COMMENTS
Lubomir Alexandrov informs me that he studied this sequence in his 1965 notebook. - N. J. A. Sloane, May 23 2008
a(n) = the Matula number of the rooted tree Q(n) obtained by attaching 3 pendant edges at one of the endpoints of the path-tree P(n) (on n vertices); the root is the other endpoint. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 18 2014
