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 = 1 + number of vertices in the largest independent vertex subset = 1 + A212625(n).
Sum of entries in row n = 2^{V(n)}, where V(n)=A061775(n) is the number of nodes in the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n.

FORMULA
Following the Tittmann et al. reference, for a tree T we introduce the bivariate generating polynomial Q(T;x,y) of the vertex subsets A of T with respect to number of vertices in A (marked by x) and the number of induced connected components (marked by y). For example, for the path P_3 = abc we have Q(P_3;x,y) = 1 + xy + xy + xy + x^2*y^2 + yx^2 + yx^2 + y*x^3, the terms corresponding to the vertex subsets empty, a, b, c, ac, ab, bc, and abc, respectively. For a rooted tree T, instead of Q(T;x,y) we shall write Q(n), where n is the Matula-Goebel number of T. We break up Q(n) into Q'(n) and Q"(n), referring to vertex subsets containing and not containing the root, respectively. Obviously, Q(n) = Q'(n) + Q"(n). We have Q'(1)=xy, Q"(1)=1; Q'(t-th prime) = xQ'(t) + xyQ"(t), Q"(t-th prime) = Q'(t) + Q"(t); if n=rs (r,s>=2), then Q'(n) = Q'(r)Q'(s)/(xy), Q"(n) = Q"(r)Q"(s) (see Theorem 25 in the Tittmann et al. reference). The Maple program is based on these recurrence relations. The command Q(n) yields the bivariate generating polynomial; p(n) yields the generating polynomial of row n.
EXAMPLE
a(5,2)=5 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 5 is the path P_4 = abcd and the vertex subsets with 2 components in the induced subgraph are: ac, bd, ad, abd, and acd.
