%N Matula-Goebel numbers of bicentral rooted trees.

%C A tree is said to be bicentral if its center consists of two points (see the Harary reference, p. 35).

%F A198329(n) is the Matula-Goebel number of the rooted tree obtained by removing from the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n the vertices of degree one, together with their incident edges. If the repeated application of this pruning operation will lead to the Matula-Goebel number 2 (corresponding to the 1-edge tree), then the starting rooted tree is central. The Maple program is based on this.

%e 5 is in the sequence because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 5 is the path-tree on 4 vertices which is bicentral.
