COMMENTS
The Wiener polynomials are assumed to have zero constant terms.
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
The Wiener polynomial W(n,x) of the rooted tree corresponding to the Matula-Goebel number n is given in A196059. It is palindromic if and only if x^{1+degree(W(n,x))}*W(n,1/x)=W(n,x).
EXAMPLE
7 is in the sequence because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is Y; 3 distances are equal to 1 and 3 distances are equal to 2; Wiener polynomial is 3x+3x^2.
