COMMENTS
Component i (i>=1) of the overall Wiener index (number) vector of a graph G is defined as the sum of the Wiener numbers of all i-edge subgraphs of G (see the Bonchev reference, p. 583).
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.
Number of entries in row n = 1st entry in row n = number of edges of the corresponding tree = A196050(n).
Last entry in row n = the Wiener index of the corresponding tree = A196051(n).
Sum of entries in row n = the overall Wiener index of the corresponding tree = A198340(n).
The Maple program yields row n with the command OWV(n) for n<=3000 (adjustable).

FORMULA
A198339(n) gives the sequence of the Matula-Goebel numbers of all the subtrees of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n. A196051(k) is the Wiener number of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number k. A196050(k) is equal to the number of edges of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number k. In the Maple program we take the sum of the Wiener indices of all the subtrees, grouped according to number of edges.
EXAMPLE
Row n=5 is 3,8,10 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 5 is the path tree on 4 vertices; each of the three 1-edge subtrees has Wiener index 1, each of the two 2-edge subtrees has Wiener index 4 and the given 3-edge tree itself has Wiener index 10.
