A184187 Triangle read by rows: row n contains the coefficients (of the increasing powers of the variable) of the characteristic polynomial of the distance matrix of the rooted tree having Matula-Göbel number n. 3

%N Triangle read by rows: row n contains the coefficients (of the increasing powers of the variable) of the characteristic polynomial of the distance matrix of the rooted tree having Matula-Göbel number n.

%C Row n contains 1+A061775(n) entries (= 1+ number of vertices of the rooted tree). The pairs 0,1 are ends of rows.

%C The Matula-Göbel 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-Göbel 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-Göbel numbers of the m branches of T.

%F Let T be a rooted tree with root b. If b has degree 1, then let A be the rooted tree with root c, obtained from T by deleting the edge bc emanating from the root. If b has degree >=2, then A is obtained (not necessarily in a unique way) by joining at b two trees B and C, rooted at b. It is straightforward to express the distance matrix of T in terms of the entries of the distance matrix of A (resp. of B and C). Making use of this, the Maple program (improvable!) finds recursively the distance matrices of the rooted trees with Matula-Göbel numbers 1..1000 (upper limit can be altered) and then finds the coefficients of their characteristic polynomials.

%e Row 4 is -4,-6,0,1 because the rooted tree having Matula-Göbel number 4 is V; the distance matrix is [0,1,1; 1,0,2; 1,2,0], having characteristic polynomial -4-6x+x^3.
