Formula

G.f.: B(x) - cycle_index(S2,-B(x)) + x * cycle_index(S7,B(x)) = B(x) - (B(x)^2 - B(x^2)) / 2 + x * (B(x)^7 + 21 B(x)^5 B(x^2) + 105 B(x)^3 B(x^2)^2 + 105 B(x) B(x^2)^3 + 70 B(x)^4 B(x^3) + 420 B(x)^2 B(x^2) B(x^3) + 210 B(x^2)^2 B(x^3) + 280 B(x) B(x^3)^2 + 210 B(x)^3 B(x^4) + 630 B(x) B(x^2) B(x^4) + 420 B(x^3) B(x^4) + 504 B(x)^2 B(x^5) + 504 B(x^2) B(x^5) + 840 B(x) B(x^6) + 720 B(x^7)) / 5040, where B(x) = 1 + x * cycle_index(S6,B(x)) = 1 + x * (B(x)^6 + 15*B(x)^4*B(x^2) + 45*B(x)^2*B(x^2)^2 + 15*B(x^2)^3 + 40*B(x)^3*B(x^3) + 120*B(x)*B(x^2)*B(x^3) + 40*B(x^3)^2 + 90*B(x)^2*B(x^4) + 90*B(x^2)*B(x^4) + 144*B(x)*B(x^5) + 120*B(x^6)) / 720 is the generating function for A036722. - Robert A.
