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.

It is known that a tree has at most one perfect matching.

Formula

Define b(n) (c(n)) to be the generating polynomials of the matchings of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n that contain (do not contain) the root, with respect to the size of the matching. We have the following recurrence for the pair M(n)=[b(n),c(n)]. M(1)=[0,1]; if n=p(t) (=the t-th prime), then M(n)=[xc(t),b(t)+c(t)]; if n=rs (r,s,>=2), then M(n)=[b(r)c(s)+c(r)b(s), c(r)c(s)]. Then m(n)=b(n)+c(n) is the generating polynomial of the matchings of the rooted tree with respect to the size of the matchings (a modified matching polynomial). The tree has a perfect matching if and only if the degree of this polynomial is 1/2 of the number of vertices of the tree.

Example

2,6,31 are in the sequence because they are the Matula numbers of the paths on 2,4,6 vertices, respectively.
