COMMENTS
The vertices of a rooted tree can be regarded as a partially ordered set, where u<=v holds for two vertices u and v if and only if u lies on the unique path between v and the root. A chain is a nonempty set of pairwise comparable vertices.
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.

FORMULA
a(1)=1; if n=p(t) (=the t-th prime), then a(n)=1+2a(t); if n=rs (r,s,>=2), then a(n)=a(r)+a(s)-1. The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.
a(n) = 1 + Sum_{k=1..A109082(n)} A196056(n,k)*2^k. - Kevin Ryde, Aug 25 2021
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 15 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 5 is a path ABCD on 4 vertices and any nonempty subset of {A,B,C,D} is a chain.
MAPLE
with(numtheory): a := proc (n) local r, s: r := proc (n) options operator, arrow: op(1, factorset(n)) end proc: s := proc (n) options operator, arrow: n/r(n) end proc: if n = 1 then 1 elif bigomega(n) = 1 then 1+2*a(pi(n)) else a(r(n))+a(s(n))-1 end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 80);
