Comments

The Lucas cube Lambda(n) can be defined as the graph whose vertices are the binary strings of length n without either two consecutive 1's or a 1 in the first and in the last position, and in which two vertices are adjacent when their Hamming distance is exactly 1.

The Narumi-Katayama index of a connected graph is the product of the degrees of the vertices of the graph.

Example

a(2) = 2 because the Lucas cube Lambda(2) is the path-tree P_3 having 2 vertices of degree 1 and 1 vertex of degree 2; consequently, the Narumi-Katayama index is 1*1*2 = 2.

Maple

G := (1+(1-y)*x+x^2*y^2+(1-y)*x^3*y-(1-y)^2*x^4*y)/((1-x*y)*(1-x^2*y)-x^3*y):
g := expand(series(G, x=0, 40)): T := (n, k) -> coeff(coeff(g, x, n), y, k):
a := n -> mul(k^T(n, k), k=0..n): lprint(seq(a(n), n=1..10));
