COMMENTS

Also, the dimension of the vector space of homogeneous covariants of degree n for the binary form of degree 7. To calculate the dimension one uses the Sylvester-Cayley formula. - Leonid Bedratyuk (bedratyuk(AT)ief.tup.km.ua), Dec 06 2006

In Cayley's terminology, this is the number of literal terms of degree n and of weight floor(7n/2) involving the letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, having weights 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 respectively. - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), Feb 17 2008

FORMULA

Coefficient of x^w*z^n in the expansion of 1/((1-z)(1-xz)(1-x^2z)(1-x^3z)(1-x^4z)(1-x^5z)(1-x^6z)(1-x^7z)), where w=floor(7n/2). - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), Feb 17 2008

EXAMPLE

a(14)=2385, a(15)=3370, a(16)=4672, a(17)=6375.

MAPLE

a(n+1) = subs({x=1}, convert(series((product('1-x^i', 'i'=8..7+n)/product('1-x^k', 'k'=2..n)), x, trunc(7*n/2)+1), polynom)); - Leonid Bedratyuk (bedratyuk(AT)ief.tup.km.ua), Dec 06 2006

PROG

(PARI) f=1/((1-z)*(1-x*z)*(1-x^2*z)*(1-x^3*z)*(1-x^4*z)*(1-x^5*z)*(1-x^6*z)*(1-x^7*z)); n=450; p=subst(subst(f, x, x+x*O(x^n)), z, z+z*O(z^n)); for(d=0, 60, w=floor(7*d/2); print1(polcoeff(polcoeff(p, w), d)", ")) - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), Feb 17 2008
