FORMULA
|
a(n) = binomial(8*n, n)/(7*n+1) = binomial(8*n+1, n)/(8*n+1) = A062993(n+6,6).
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x*A(x)^8 = 1/(1-x*A(x)^7).
a(0) = 1; a(n) = Sum_{i1 + i2 + .. i8 = n - 1} a(i1)*a(i2)*...*a(i8) for n >= 1. - Robert FERREOL, Apr 01 2015
a(n) = binomial(8*n, n - 1)/n for n >= 1, a(0) = 1 (from the Lagrange series of the o.g.f. A(x) with its above given implicit equation).
In Maple notation,
e.g.f.: hypergeom([1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8], [2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7, 1, 8/7],(2^24/7^7)*z);
o.g.f.: hypergeom([1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8], [2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7, 8/7],(2^24/7^7)*z);
a(n) are special values of Jacobi polynomials, in Maple notation:
a(n) = JacobiP(n - 1, 7*n + 1, -n, 1)/n, n = 1, 2, ...
(End)
A(x)^9 is o.g.f. for A234467. (End)
a(n) ~ 2^(24*n + 1)/(sqrt(Pi)*7^(7*n + 3/2)*n^(3/2)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 07 2017
D-finite with recurrence: 7*n*(7*n-3)*(7*n+1)*(7*n-2)*(7*n-5)*(7*n-1)*(7*n-4)*a(n) -128*(8*n-5)*(4*n-1)*(8*n-7)*(2*n-1)*(8*n-1)*(4*n-3)*(8*n-3)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 20 2020

EXAMPLE
|
There are a(2) = 8 octic trees (vertex degree less than or equal to 8 and 8 possible branchings) with 2 vertices (one of them the root). Adding one more branch (one more vertex) to these 8 trees yields 8*8 + binomial(8, 2) = 92 = a(3) such trees.
