COMMENTS
A branching node of a tree is a vertex of degree at least 3.
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=prime(t) and t is not the product of 2 prime factors, then a(n)=a(t); if n=prime(t) and t is the product of 2 prime factors, then a(n)=a(t)+1; if n=r*s (r prime, s>=2) and s is not a product of 2 prime factors, then a(n)=a(r)+a(s); if n=r*s (r prime, s>=2) and s is a product of 2 prime factors, then a(n)=a(r)+a(s)+1. The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.
EXAMPLE
a(7)=1 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y.
if m>2 then a(2^m) = 1 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 2^m is a star with m edges.
