COMMENTS
A pendant vertex in a tree is a vertex having degree 1. A vertex is called quasipendant if it is adjacent to a pendant vertex (see the Bapat reference, p. 106).
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 even then a(n)=Lp(t); if n=p(t) (=the t-th prime) and t>=3 is odd, then a(n) = 1+Lp(t); if n is composite, then a(n)=Lp(n); here Lp stands for "number of leaf parents" (see A196062).
EXAMPLE
a(5)=2 because the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number 5 is the path tree A - B - C - D; the pendant vertices are A and D while the quasipendant ones are B and C.
