COMMENTS
The escape distance of a vertex v in a rooted tree T is the distance from v to the nearest leaf of T that is a descendant of v. For the rooted tree ARBCDEF, rooted at R, the escape distance of B is 4 (the leaf A is not a descendant of B).
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.
Each row is nonincreasing (each vertex with escape distance k (k>=1) is the parent of some vertex with escape distance k-1).

FORMULA
We give the recursive construction of the row generating polynomials P(n)=P(n,x): if n = prime(t), then P(n)=P(t)+x^{1+LLL(t)}; if n=r*s (r,s>=2), then P(n)=P(r)+P(s)-x^{max(LLL(r),LLL(s))}; LLL denotes the level of the lowest leaf (computed recursively and programmed in A184166) (2nd Maple program yields P(n)).
EXAMPLE
Row n=7 is [2,1,1] because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y, having 2 leaves and 1 (1) vertex at distance 1 (2) from either of the leaves.
