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.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..120.

FORMULA

a(1)=0; if n=p(t) (=the t-th prime), then a(n)=max(a(t), 1+H(t)); if n=rs (r,s,>=2), then a(n)=max(a(r), a(s), H(r)+H(s)), where H(m) is the height of the tree with Matula-Goebel number m (see A109082). The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.

The Gutman et al. references contain a different recursive formula.

EXAMPLE

a(2^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, H: r := proc (n) options operator, arrow: op(1, factorset(n)) end proc: s := proc (n) options operator, arrow: n/r(n) end proc: H := proc (n) if n = 1 then 0 elif bigomega(n) = 1 then 1+H(pi(n)) else max(H(r(n)), H(s(n))) end if end proc: if n = 1 then 0 elif bigomega(n) = 1 then max(a(pi(n)), 1+H(pi(n))) else max(a(r(n)), a(s(n)), H(r(n))+H(s(n))) end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 120);
