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 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Value of Tutte dichromatic polynomial T_G(0,1) where G is the Cartesian product of the paths P_2 and P_n (n>1).
The value of Tutte dichromatic polynomial T_G(0,1) where G is the Cartesian product of the paths P_1 and P_n (n>1) is seen to be 2^(n-1), which is also the number of edge-rooted forests in P_n.
In 1956, Andrzej Schinzel showed that for every n >= 2, a(n) is not a value of Euler's function. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Oct 20 2013
Apart from first term 2, these are the numbers that satisfy phi(n) = 3*n/7. - Michel Marcus, Jul 14 2015

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*7^(n-1); a(n) = 7*a(n-1) where a(1) = 2.
G.f.: 2*x/(1 - 7*x). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 23 2008
E.g.f.: 2*(exp(7*x) - 1)/7. - Stefano Spezia, May 29 2021
From Amiram Eldar, May 08 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 7/12.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 7/16.
Product_{n>=1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = A132023. (End)
MAPLE
