%C a(n) = the multiplicative Wiener index of the wheel graph with n+3 vertices. The multiplicative Wiener index of a connected simple graph G is defined as the product of the distances between all pairs of distinct vertices of G. The wheel graph with n+3 vertices has (n+3)(n+2)/2 pairs of distinct vertices, of which 2(n+2) are adjacent; each of the remaining (n+2)(n-1)/2 pairs are at distance 2; consequently, the multiplicative Wiener index is 2^((n-1)(n+2)/2) = a(n). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Aug 17 2015
