a(n) is the denominator of the resistance of the n-dimensional cube between two adjacent nodes, when the resistance of each edge is 1. See Nedermeyer and Smorodinsky. - Michel Marcus, Sep 13 2019

The term "resistance distance" for electric circuits was in use years before it was proved to be a metric (on edges of graphs). The historical meaning has been described thus: "one imagines unit resistors on each edge of a graph G and takes the resistance distance between vertices i and j of G to be the effective resistance between vertices i and j..."  (from Klein, 2002; see the References).  Let R(k,n) denote the resistance distance for k resistors in an n-dimensional cube (for details, see Example and References).  Then
R(k,n)=A212045(k,n)/A212046(k,n).  Moreover,
A212045(1,n)=A090633(n), A212045(n,n)=A046878(n),
A212046(1,n)=A090634(n), A212046(n,n)=A046879(n).

The resistance distances for n=3 (the ordinary cube) are 7/12, 3/4, and 5/6, so that row 3 of the triangle of numerators is (7, 3, 5).  For the corresponding electric circuit, suppose X is a vertex of the cube. The resistance across any one of the 3 edges from X is 7/12 ohm; the resistance across any two adjoined edges (i.e., a diagonal of a face of the cubes) is 3/4 ohm; the resistance across and three adjoined edges (a diagonal of the cube) is 5/6 ohm.
