COMMENTS
The radius of a tree is defined as the minimum eccentricity of the vertices.
The radius of a tree is equal to the number of prunings required to reduce the tree to the 1-vertex tree. See the Balaban reference, p. 360.
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
A198336(n) gives the sequence of the Matula-Goebel numbers of the rooted trees obtained from the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n by pruning it successively 0,1,2,... times. Then the radius of the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number n is equal to the number of terms in this sequence diminished by 1.
EXAMPLE
a(7)=1 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 7 is Y and its vertices have eccentricities 2,2,2,1. a(11)=2 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 11 is the path tree on 5 vertices and the eccentricities are 4,4,3,3,2.
