Table of n, a(n) for n=1..28.

Formula

a(n) = (A007454(n) + A339158(n))/2.

Example

In the following examples of series-parallel networks, elements in series are juxtaposed and elements in parallel are separated by '|'. The unit element is denoted by 'o'.
a(1) = 1: (o).
a(2) = 1: (oo), (o|o).
a(3) = 2: (o|o|o), (o|oo).
a(4) = 5: (o|o|o|o), (o|o|oo), (oo|oo), (o|ooo), (o|o(o|o)).

Prog

(PARI) \\ here B(n) gives A003430 as a power series.
EulerT(v)={Vec(exp(x*Ser(dirmul(v, vector(#v, n, 1/n))))-1, -#v)}
B(n)={my(p=x+O(x^2)); for(n=2, n, p=x*Ser(EulerT(Vec(p^2/(1+p)+x)))); p}
seq(n)={my(q=subst(B((n+1)\2), x, x^2), s=x^2+q^2/(1+q), p=x+O(x^2)); for(n=1, n\2, my(t=x + q*(1 + p)); p=x + x*Ser(EulerT(Vec(t+(s-subst(t, x, x^2))/2))) - t); Vec(p+subst(x/(1+x), x, B(n)))/2}
