COMMENTS

The Matula-Goebel number of a rooted tree is 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.

a(n) is, for n >= 2, the number of prime function prime(.) = A000040(.) operations in the complete reduction of n. See the W. Lang link with a list of the reductions for n = 2..100, where a curly bracket notation {.} is used for prime(.). - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 03 2018

From Gus Wiseman, Mar 23 2019: (Start)

Every positive integer has a unique factorization (encoded by A324924) into factors q(i) = prime(i)/i, i > 0. For example:

11 = q(1) q(2) q(3) q(5)

50 = q(1)^3 q(2)^2 q(3)^2

360 = q(1)^6 q(2)^3 q(3)

In this factorization, a(n) is the number of factors counted with multiplicity. For example, a(11) = 4, a(50) = 7, a(360) = 10.

Totally additive with a(prime(n)) = 1 + a(n).

FORMULA

a(1)=0; if n = prime(t) (the t-th prime), then a(n)=1 + a(t); if n = r*s (r,s>=2), then a(n)=a(r)+a(s). The Maple program is based on this recursive formula.

a(n) = A061775(n) - 1.

a(n) = A109129(n) + A366388(n) = A109082(n) + A358729(n). - Antti Karttunen, Oct 23 2023

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 the star tree with m edges.
