COMMENTS
The Strahler number of a vertex of a rooted tree is defined recursively in the following way: (i) the Strahler number of a leaf is 1; if the vertex has one child with Strahler number i and all other children have Strahler number less than i, then the Strahler number of the vertex is again i; (iii) if the vertex has two or more children with Strahler number i and no child with Strahler number greater than i, then the Strahler number of the vertex is i+1. See the Wikipedia reference.
The Strahler number of a rooted tree T is defined as the Strahler number of the root of T.
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.
Number of entries in row n = A214574(n) = the Strahler number of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n.
Sum of entries in row n = A061775(n) = number of vertices in the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n.

FORMULA
Define the Strahler polynomial of a rooted tree T as the generating polynomial of the vertices of T with respect to their Strahler numbers. For example, it follows at once that the Strahler polynomial of the rooted tree V is 2x + x^2. Denote by G(n)=G(n;x) the Strahler polynomial of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n. Clearly, A214573(n,k) is the coefficient of x^k in G(n). We have (i) G(1)= x; (ii) if n=p(t) (the t-th prime), then G(n) = x^{degree(G(t)} + G(t); (iii) if n=rs (r,s>=2), then G(n) = G(r) - degree (G(r)) + G(s) - degree(G(s)) + x^m, where m = 1+degree(G(r)) if degree(G(r))=degree(G(s)) and m = max(degree(G(r), G(s)) otherwise. The Maple program is based on these recursion relations.
EXAMPLE
Row 4 is 2,1. Indeed, the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 4 is V; the two leaves have Strahler numbers 1,1, and the root has Strahler number 2.
