COMMENTS
The Matula-Goebel number of a rooted tree is 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.
a(n) + A184157(n) = A196051(n) (= the Wiener index of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n).

FORMULA
a(n) is the value at x=1 of the derivative of the odd part of the Wiener polynomial W(n)=W(n,x) of the rooted tree with Matula number n. W(n) is obtained recursively in A196059. The Maple program is based on the above.
EXAMPLE
a(7)=3 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y with 3 distances equal to 1.
