FORMULA

O.g.f. A(x)= 1 + x*A(x)^7 = 1/(1-x*A(x)^6).
a(n) = binomial(7*n,n-1)/n, n>=1, a(0)=1. From the Lagrange series of the o.g.f. A(x) with its above given implicit equation.
72*n*(6*n-1)*(3*n-1)*(2*n-1)*(3*n-2)*(6*n+1)*a(n) - 7*(7*n-3)*(7*n-6)*(7*n-2)*(7*n-5)*(7*n-1)*(7*n-4)*a(n-1) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 16 2012
a(n) are special values of Jacobi polynomials, in Maple notation:
a(n) = JacobiP(n-1, 6*n+1, -n, 1)/n, n=1, 2... . - Karol A. Penson, Mar 16 2015
a(n) = binomial(7*n+1, n)/(7*n+1) = A062993(n+5,5). - Robert FERREOL, Apr 02 2015
a(0) = 1; a(n) = Sum_{i1+i2+..+i7=n-1} a(i1)*a(i2)*...*a(i7) for n>=1. - Robert FERREOL, Apr 02 2015
From Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jan 16 2017: (Start)
O.g.f.: 6F5(1/7,2/7,3/7,4/7,5/7,6/7; 1/3,1/2,2/3,5/6,7/6; 823543*x/46656).
E.g.f.: 6F6(1/7,2/7,3/7,4/7,5/7,6/7; 1/3,1/2,2/3,5/6,1,7/6; 823543*x/46656).
a(n) ~ 7^(7*n+1/2)/(sqrt(Pi)*3^(6*n+3/2)*4^(3*n+1)*n^(3/2)). (End)

EXAMPLE
|
There are a(2)=7 heptic trees (vertex degree <=7 and 7 possible branchings) with 2 vertices (one of them the root). Adding one more branch (one more vertex) to these 7 trees yields 7*7 + binomial(7,2) = 70 = a(3) such trees.
