FORMULA
a(n) = C(7*n-1,n-1)*C(49*n^2,2)/(3*n*C(7*n+1,3)), n>0. - Gary Detlefs, Jan 02 2014
G.f.: A(x) = x*B'(x)/B(x), where B(x)+1 is g.f. of A002296. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 05 2015
From Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jan 16 2017: (Start)
O.g.f.: 6F5(1/7,2/7,3/7,4/7,5/7,6/7; 1/6,1/3,1/2,2/3,5/6; 823543*x/46656).
E.g.f.: 6F6(1/7,2/7,3/7,4/7,5/7,6/7; 1/6,1/3,1/2,2/3,5/6,1; 823543*x/46656).
a(n) ~ sqrt(7/3)*7^(7*n)/(2*sqrt(Pi*n)*6^(6*n)). (End)
From Peter Bala, Feb 20 2022: (Start)
The o.g.f. A(x) is algebraic: (1 - A(x))*(1 + 6*A(x))^6 + (7^7)*x*A(x)^7 = 0.
Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*( x*(6*x + 7)^6/(7^7*(1 + x)^7) )^n = x. (End)
