COMMENTS
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 is A196058(n) (n=2,3,...).
The generating polynomial of row n is the Wiener polynomial of the rooted tree having Matula-Goebel number n.

FORMULA
We give the recursive construction of the row generating polynomials W(n)=W(n,x) (the Wiener polynomials). Let R(n) be the partial Wiener polynomial with respect to the root (defined, computed and programmed in A196056). W(1)=0; if n = p(t) (=the t-th prime), then W(n)=W(t)+x*R(t) + x; if n=rs (r,s>=2), then W(n)=W(r)+W(s)+R(r)R(s) (2nd Maple program yields the Wiener polynomial W(n)).
EXAMPLE
Row n=7 is [3,3] because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y, having distances 1,1,1,2,2,2.
Row n=2^m is [m, m(m-1)/2] because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 2^m is a star with m edges; there are m distances 1 and m(m-1)/2 distances 2.
