The nonnegative integers are displayed as in A350131.
Given the set S = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, the function f defined in S as f(3) = f(5) = 2, f(4) = 3, and f(6) = f(7) = 1, a(n) is equal to the difference between the number b(n) of S-restricted f-weighted integer compositions of n with that of n-6, i.e., b(n-6). The latter one provides the number of all those excluded cases where a nonnegative integer is displayed with leading zeros. b(n) is calculated as the sum of polynomial coefficients or extended binomial coefficients (see Equation 3 in Eger) where the index of summation is positive and it covers the numbers of possible digits that can be displayed by n segments (see first formula).

FORMULA
|
a(n) = b(n) - b(n-6), where b(n) = [x^n] Sum_{k=max(1,ceiling(n/7))..floor(n/2)} P(x)^k with P(x) = 2*x^3 + 3*x^4 + 2*x^5 + x^6 + x^7.
G.f.: x^3*(1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - x + x^2)*(1 + x + x^2)*(2 + 3*x + 2*x^2 + x^3 + x^4)/(1 - 2*x^3 - 3*x^4 - 2*x^5 - x^6 - x^7).
a(n) = 2*a(n-3) + 3*a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5) + a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n > 13.
