%N Number of chains in the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n.

%C The vertices of a rooted tree can be regarded as a partially ordered set, where u<=v holds for two vertices u and v if and only if u lies on the unique path between v and the root. A chain is a nonempty set of pairwise comparable vertices.

%C 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.

%F a(1)=1; if n=p(t) (=the t-th prime), then a(n)=1+2a(t); if n=rs (r,s,>=2), then a(n)=a(r)+a(s)-1. The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.

%F a(n) = 1 + Sum_{k=1..A109082(n)} A196056(n,k)*2^k. - _Kevin Ryde_, Aug 25 2021

%e a(5) = 15 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 5 is a path ABCD on 4 vertices and any nonempty subset of {A,B,C,D} is a chain.
