Let s(0), s(1), ..., s(5), s(6) be the 7 initial values in a Somos-7 sequence. The following terms s(7), s(8), ... are rational expressions in the 7 initial values derived from the Somos-7 recurrence: s(n) = ( s(n-1)*s(n-6) + s(n-2)*s(n-5) + s(n-3)*s(n-4) ) / s(n-7). E.g., s(7) = (s(1)*s(6) + s(2)*s(5) + s(3)*s(4)) / s(0), s(8) = ... .
Because of the Laurent property of a Somos-7 sequence the denominator of these terms is a monomial in the initial values.
With the sequence e(n) = A369611(n), the tropical version of the Somos-7 sequence, the monomial D(n) is defined as Product_{k=0..6} s(k)^a(n-k). Define the polynomial G(n) to be s(n) * D(n). G(n) is 1 for n < 7, else G(n) is the numerator of s(n), so ..., G(5) = 1, G(6) = 1, G(7) = s(1)*s(6) + s(2)*s(5) + s(3)*s(4), ...
For n >= 0, a term a(n) of the actual sequence is the degree of G(n). The degree of the denominator of s(n) is a(n) - 1.
This Somos-7 sequence defines a family (proposed name: Somos family) S of (birational) involutions in Cr_6(R), the Cremona group of rank 6.
A Somos involution S(n) in this family is defined as S(n) : RP^6 -> RP^6, (s(0) : s(1) : ... : s(5) : s(6)) -> (s(n+6) : s(n+5) : ... : s(n+1) : s(n)). For n > 0 S(n) = (G(n+6) : G(n+5)*m1 : ... : G(n+1)*m5 : G(n)*m6 ), with m1, m2, ..., m5, m6 monomials. The involutions generate an infinite dihedral group. Already 2 consecutive involutions S(n), S(n+1) generate this group too. This group as a dihedral group has 2 conjugacy classes { ..., S(0), S(2), S(4), ... } and { ..., S(1), S(3), S(5), ... } of involutions. The degree of such an involution S(n) equals the degree of G(n+6) and the term a(n+6) in the actual sequence.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 1 + e(n-6) + e(n-5) + e(n-4) + e(n-3) + e(n-2) + e(n-1) + e(n), where e(n) = A369611(n), the tropical version of Somos-7, is the exponent of one of the initial values in the denominator of s(n).
The growth rate is quadratic, a(n) = (7/60) * n^2 + O(n).
