COMMENTS
A pendant vertex in a tree is a vertex having degree 1.
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)=2; if n=p(t) (=the t-th prime) and t is prime, then a(n)=a(t); if n=p(t) (the t-th prime) and t is not prime, then a(n)=1+a(t); if n=rs (r,s,>=2), then a(n)=a(r)+a(s)-the number of primes in {r,s}. The Maple program is based on this 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 n = 2 then 2 elif bigomega(n) = 1 and bigomega(pi(n)) = 1 then a(pi(n)) elif bigomega(n) = 1 then a(pi(n))+1 elif bigomega(r(n)) = 1 and bigomega(s(n)) = 1 then a(r(n))+a(s(n))-2 elif min(bigomega(r(n)), bigomega(s(n))) = 1 then a(r(n))+a(s(n))-1 else a(r(n))+a(s(n)) end if end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 110);
