Comments

The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph g is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of g.

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.

Formula

a(1)=0; if n=p(t) (the t-th prime), then a(n) = a(t)+b(t)+G(t)+1; if n=rs (r,s>=2), then a(n)=a(r)+a(s)+b(r)G(s)+b(s)G(r); here b(m) is the sum of the degrees of the nodes at level 1 of the rooted tree having Matula-Goebel number m and G(m) is the number of prime factors of m, counted with multiplicities. The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.

Example

a(7)=9 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y (1*3+3*1+3*1=9).
a(2^m) = m^2 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, b: r := proc (n) options operator, arrow: op(1, factorset(n)) end proc: s := proc (n) options operator, arrow: n/r(n) end proc: b := proc (n) if n = 1 then 0 elif bigomega(n) = 1 then 1+bigomega(pi(n)) else b(r(n))+b(s(n)) end if end proc: if n = 1 then 0 elif bigomega(n) = 1 then a(pi(n))+b(pi(n))+bigomega(pi(n))+1 else a(r(n))+a(s(n))+b(r(n))*bigomega(s(n))+b(s(n))*bigomega(r(n)) end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 90);
