COMMENTS
The 1st multiplicative Zagreb index of a connected graph is the product of the squared degrees of the vertices of the graph. Alternatively, it is the square of the Narumi-Katayama index.
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; a(2)=1, if n = prime(t) (the t-th prime, t>=2), then a(n)=a(t)*(1+G(t))^2/G(t)^2; if n=rs (r,s>=2), then a(n)=a(r)*a(s)*G(n)^2/[G(r)*G(s)]^2; G(m) denotes the number of prime divisors of m counted with multiplicities. The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.
a(n) = (A196063(n))^2.
EXAMPLE
a(7)=9 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is the rooted tree Y (1*9*1*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: 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 n = 2 then 1 elif bigomega(n) = 1 then a(pi(n))*(1+bigomega(pi(n)))^2/bigomega(pi(n))^2 else a(r(n))*a(s(n))*bigomega(n)^2/(bigomega(r(n))^2*bigomega(s(n))^2) end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 65);
