FORMULA
o.g.f. (1-10*q+35*q^2-50*q^3+24*q^4) / (1-15*q+81*q^2 -192*q^3+189*q^4 -53*q^5) more generally, sum( n!/(n-d)!*q^d/prod((1-r*q),r=1..d), d=0..n) / sum( q^d/prod((1-r*q),r=1..d), d=0..n) where n=6.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 5 because x1-x2, x2-x3, x3-x4, x4-x5, x5-x6 are all of degree 1 and are killed by the differential operator d_x1+d_x2+d_x3+d_x4+d_x5+d_x6.
