COMMENTS
If n = 1 let e(n) be the leaf symbol "o". Given a positive integer n > 1 we construct a unique free pure symmetric multifunction (with empty expressions allowed) e(n) with one atom by expressing n as a power of a number that is not a perfect power to a product of prime numbers: n = rad(x)^(prime(y_1) * ... * prime(y_k)) where rad = A007916. Then e(n) = e(x)[e(y_1), ..., e(y_k)]. For example, e(21025) = o[o[o]][o] because 21025 = rad(rad(1)^prime(rad(1)^prime(1)))^prime(1).
EXAMPLE
The a(12) = 4 subexpressions of o[o[]][] are {o, o[], o[o[]], o[o[]][]}.
