%N A123750 Number of distinct resistances possible with at most n arbitrary resistors
connected in series or in parallel.
%C A123750 The difference between this problem and A005840 and A051045 is the word
"at most". In this problem, at most n different resistors are used
to generate all possible resistances using in series and in parallel
wirings, also including resistances where some of the resistors from
the collection 1,2,...,n, are not used.

%F A123750 a(n) = 2*A005840(n) + n - 2; generating function = exp(x)*(-2*exp(x)
+ exp(x)*x + 2)/(-2 + exp(x))
%e A123750 exp(x)*(-2*exp(x) + exp(x)*x + 2)/(-2 + exp(x)) = 1*x + 2*x^2 + 17/6*x^3
+ 47/12*x^4 + 667/120*x^5 + 719/90*x^6 + 19351/1680*x^7 + O(x^8);
then the coefficients are multiplied by n! to get 1, 4, 17, 94, 667,
5752, 58053, 669970, 8698991, ...
%p A123750 series(exp(x)*(-2*exp(x) + exp(x)*x + 2)/(-2 + exp(x)),x,8);
%Y A123750 Cf. A005840. a(n) = 2*A005840(n) + n - 2, n > 1; A051045.
