Comments

The top-down definition of the binomial tree suits Matula-Goebel numbering: The tree of n = 2^k + r vertices, for 1 <= r <= 2^k is the binomial tree of 2^k vertices and a child subtree under the root which is the binomial tree of r vertices.

In the tree of n vertices, adding a new singleton child under each vertex gives the tree of 2*n vertices, so that a(2*n) = A348067(a(n)).

Formula

a(2^k + r) = a(2^k) * prime(a(r)) for 1 <= r <= 2^k.

a(2^k) = A076146(k+1), being a tree of order k.

Example

The tree of n=13 vertices numbered 0..12 is
  0
  | \  \    \
  1  2  4     8
     |  | \   | \  \
     3  5  6  9 10  12
           |     |
           7    11
Vertices 0..7 are the binomial tree of 2^k = 8 vertices, and vertices 8..12 are the binomial tree of 5 vertices.
Using the recurrence, a(13) = a(8 + 5) = a(8) * prime(a(5)) = 78*37 = 2886.
