Figurate numbers based on 7-dimensional regular simplex. According to Hyun Kwang Kim, it appears that every nonnegative integer can be represented as the sum of g = 15 of these numbers. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Nov 28 2004

a(n) = -A110555(n+1,7). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Jul 27 2005

a(n) is the number of terms in the expansion of ( sum_{i=1}^8 a_i)^n - Sergio Falcon (sfalcon(AT)dma.ulpgc.es), Feb 12 2007

With a different offset, number of n-permutations (n>=7) of 2 objects: u,v with repetition allowed, containing exactly seven (7) u's. Example: a(1)=8 because we have uuuuuuuv, uuuuuuvu, uuuuuvuu, uuuuvuuu, uuuvuuuu, uuvuuuuu, uvuuuuuu and vuuuuuuu. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 23 2008
