COMMENTS
"Tendrils" of the beanstalk are the finite side-trees sprouting from its infinite trunk (see A179016) at the numbers given by A213730.
EXAMPLE
A213730(9)=22, and from that branches 24 and 25 (as both A011371(24)=A011371(25)=22) and while 24 is a leaf (in A055938) the other branch 25 further branches to two leaves (as both A011371(28)=A011371(29)=25).
When we construct a binary tree from this in such a fashion that the larger numbers go to the left, we obtain:
..........
29...28...
..\./.....
...25..24.
....\./...
.....22...
..........
and the binary tree
.......
.\./...
..*....
...\./.
....*..
.......
is located as A014486(3) in the normal encoding order of binary trees, thus a(9)=3.
PROG
(Scheme with Antti Karttunen's memoization macro definec):
(define (A218788 n) (Aux_for218788 (A213730 n)))
(definec (Aux_for218788 n) (cond ((zero? (A079559 n)) 0) ((not (zero? (A213719 n))) -1) (else (A072764bi (Aux_for218788 (A213724 n)) (Aux_for218788 (A213723 n))))))
CROSSREFS
These are the mirror-images of binary trees given in A218787, i.e. a(n) = A057163(A218787(n)). A218786 gives the sizes of these trees. Cf. A072764, A218610, A218611.
