Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Start with a node; step one is to connect that node to n+1 new nodes so that it is of degree n+1; further steps are to connect each existing node of degree 1 to n new nodes so that it is of degree n+1; T(n,k) is the total number of nodes after k steps.
FORMULA
T(n, k) =((n+1)*n^k-2)/(n-1) [with T(1, k)=2k+1] =n*T(n, k-1)+2 =(n+1)*T(n, k-1)-n*T(n, k-2) =T(n, k-1)+(1+1/n)*n^k =A055129(k, n)+A055129(k-1, n). Coefficient of x^k in expansion of (1+x)/((1-x)(1-nx)).
EXAMPLE
Rows start: 1,2,2,2,2,2,...; 1,3,5,7,9,11,...; 1,4,10,22,46,94,...; 1,5,17,53,161,485,... T(3,2) =122 base 3 =17.
CROSSREFS
Rows include A040000, A005408, A033484, A048473, A020989, A057651, A061801 etc. For negative n (not shown) absolute values of rows would effectively include A000012, A014113, A046717.
