COMMENTS
This is the pruning operation mentioned, for example, in the Balaban reference (p. 360) and in the Todeschini - Consonni reference (p. 42).

FORMULA
Let b(n)=A198328(n) (= the Matula-Goebel number of the tree obtained by removing the leaves together with their incident edges from the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n). a(1)=1; if n = prime(t), then a(n)=b(t); if n=r*s (r,s>=2), then a(n)=b(r)*b(s). The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.
EXAMPLE
a(7)=1 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is Y; after deleting the vertices of degree one and their incident edges we obtain the 1-vertex tree having Matula-Goebel number 1.
