%N (Sum of first n Fibonacci numbers) times (product of first n Fibonacci numbers).

%C Let F(1), F(2), F(3), ...  be the Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, .... For k=1, we define the tree T(1) the path on two vertices with one identified as the root r. We assign the edge-weight F(1). T(2) is obtained from T(1) by attaching F(2) vertex to the pendents in T(1) except r. In T(2), r is retained as in T(1) and the new edge-weight is assigned as F(2). For k>1, T(k) is obtained from T(k-1) by attaching F(k) vertices to pendents in T(k-1) except r. In T(k), r is retained as in T(k-1) and all the new edge-weights are assigned  F(k). With D(1)=1, for k>1 let D(k)=Sum of all distances d(r,x) taken across all vertices x in T(k). By induction it follows that for k>1, D(k)-D(k-1) is this sequence.

%C Retaining the notation of D(k) above, it follows, for k>1, that if D(k)=a(1)F(1)+ - - - +a(k)F(k) then D(k+1)=b(1)F(1)+ - - - +b(k)F(k)+b(k+1)F(k+1) where b(k+1) is the number of leaf nodes in T(k+1).
