%N The difference between the levels of the highest and lowest leaves in the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n.
%C 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.

%F 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. a(n) = degree of the numerator of P(n,1/x) (see the Maple program).
%e a(7)=0 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y with all leaves at level 2.
%e a(2^m)=0 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 2^m is the star with m edges; all leaves are at level 1.
