For n >= 1, a(n) is the order of the wreath product of the symmetric group S_n and the Abelian group (C_7)^n. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), May 07 2001
FORMULA
a(n) = n!*7^n =: (7*n)(!^7).
a(n) = 7*A034834(n) = Product_{k=1..n} 7*k, n >= 1.
E.g.f.: 1/(1 - 7*x).
G.f.: 1/(1 - 7*x/(1 - 7*x/(1 - 14*x/(1 - 14*x/(1 - 21*x/(1 - 21*x/(1 - 28*x/(1 - 28*x/(1 - ... (continued fraction). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 08 2012
From Amiram Eldar, Jun 25 2020: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = e^(1/7) (A092516).
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = e^(-1/7) (A092750). (End)
