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”).

%N Number of essentially series oriented series-parallel networks with n elements and without multiple unit elements in parallel.

%C See A339290 for additional details.

%F G.f.: P(x)^2/(1 - P(x)) where P(x) is the g.f. of A339289.

%F G.f.: B(x)^2/(1 + B(x)) where B(x) is the g.f. of A339290.

%e In the following examples, elements in series are juxtaposed and elements in parallel are separated by '|'. The unit element is denoted by 'o'.

%e a(2) = 1: (oo).

%e a(3) = 1: (ooo).

%e a(4) = 3: (oooo), (o(o|oo)), ((o|oo)o).

%e a(5) = 8: (ooooo), (oo(o|oo)), (o(o|oo)o), ((o|oo)oo), (o(o|ooo)), (o(oo|oo)), ((o|ooo)o), ((oo|oo)o).

%o (PARI) EulerT(v)={Vec(exp(x*Ser(dirmul(v,vector(#v,n,1/n))))-1, -#v)}

%o seq(n, Z=x)={my(p=Z+O(x^2)); for(n=2, n, p = Z + (1 + Z)*x*Ser(EulerT( Vec(p^2/(1+p), -n) ))); Vec(p - p/(1+p), -n)}
