COMMENTS
The Matula-Goebel number of a rooted tree is 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.

FORMULA
a(1)=0; if n=p_t (=the t-th prime), then a(n) = max(a(t), 1+G(t)); if n=rs (r,s>=2), then a(n)=max(a(r),a(s), G(r)+G(s)); G(m) is the number of prime divisors of m counted with multiplicity. The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.
The Gutman et al. references contain a different recursive formula.
EXAMPLE
a(7)=3 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y.
a(2^m) = m because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 2^m is a star with m edges.
MAPLE
with(numtheory): a := proc (n) local r, s: r := proc (n) options operator, arrow: op(1, factorset(n)) end proc: s := proc (n) options operator, arrow: n/r(n) end proc: if n = 1 then 0 elif bigomega(n) = 1 then max(a(pi(n)), 1+bigomega(pi(n))) else max(a(r(n)), a(s(n)), bigomega(r(n))+bigomega(s(n))) end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 110);
PROG
(Haskell)
import Data.List (genericIndex)
a196046 n = genericIndex a196046_list (n - 1)
a196046_list = 0 : g 2 where
g x = y : g (x + 1) where
y | t > 0 = max (a196046 t) (a001222 t + 1)
| otherwise = maximum [a196046 r, a196046 s, a001222 r + a001222 s]
where t = a049084 x; r = a020639 x; s = x `div` r
