FORMULA
G.f.: (1-21*q+175*q^2-735*q^3+1624*q^4-1764*q^5+720*q^6)/ (1-28*q+316*q^2-1845*q^3+5925*q^4-10190*q^5+8249*q^6-2119*q^7) more generally, sum( n!/(n-d)!*q^d/prod((1-r*q),r=1..d), d=0..n) / sum( q^d/prod((1-r*q), r=1..d), d=0..n) where n=8.
EXAMPLE
A122371 a(1) = 7 because x1-x2, x2-x3, x3-x4, x4-x5, x5-x6, x6-x7, x7-x8 are all of degree 1 and are killed by the differential operator d_x1+d_x2+d_x3+d_x4+d_x5+d_x6+d_x7.
