%N The hyper-Wiener index of the tree g[n] (n>=0) defined recursively in the following manner: denoting by P[n] the path on n vertices, we define g[0] =P[2] while g[n] (n>=1) is the tree obtained by identifying the roots of 2 copies of g[n-1] and one of the end-vertices of P[n+1]; the root of g[n] is defined to be the other end-vertex of P[n+1].

%C Roughly speaking, g[4], for example, is obtained from the planted full binary tree of height 5 by replacing the edges at the levels 1,2,3,4 with paths of lengths 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively.

%C The value of a(4) has been checked by the direct evaluation of the Wiener index (using Maple).
