Karnofsky (2004, p. 5): "[...] if some circuit has resistance m/n then some other circuit likely has n/m. In fact, for 9 or fewer resistors, this symmetry is perfect. However, for 10 resistors the following values are achieved, but not their inverses: 95/106, 101/109, 98/103, 97/98, 103/101, 97/86, 110/91, 103/83, 130/101, 103/80, 115/89, 106/77, 109/77, 98/67, 101/67". That means, that T(m,n) = T(n,m), if T(m,n) <= 9.
This starts with the values of A113881, but the Karnofsky comment says that T(n,m) is not symmetric, whereas the count of tiles in A113881 is. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 06 2020
The first difference where T(m,n) = T(n,m), but differs from the corresponding entry of A113881 occurs for (n,m) = (154,167) and (n,m) = (167,154), both representable by networks with non-planar graphs of 11 resistors, whereas A113881 counts 12 tiles. See Pfoertner link for illustration of more differences. - Hugo Pfoertner, Nov 13 2020

Examples

			T(1,2) = 2: at least 2 unit resistors in parallel are needed for resistance 1/2.
T(2,1) = 2: at least 2 unit resistors in series are needed for resistance 2 = 2/1.
T(11,13) = 6: the following "bridge" has resistance Bri(Par(1,1),1,1,1,1) = 11/13 (see A337516 for definitions):
.

                  \ /
                  (-)
.
T(13,11) = 6: Bri(Ser(1,1),1,1,1,1) = 13/11.
T(95,106) = 10, but T(106,95) > 10: Karnofsky (2004, p. 5), see comment.

This sequence is an analog of A338861. Equality a(n) = A338861(n) holds for small n only, see example.
Let V_s denote the specific voltage, i.e., the lowest integer voltage, which induces integer currents everywhere in the network. Denote by A_s the specific current, i.e., the corresponding total current.
A planar network with n unit resistors corresponds to a squared rectangle with height V_s and width A_s. The electrical power V_s*A_s therefore equals the area of that rectangle. In the historical overview (Stuart Anderson link) A_s is called complexity.
The corresponding rectangle tiling provides the optimal power rating of the 1 ohm resistors with respect to the specific voltage V_s and current A_s. See the picture From_Quilt_to_Net in the link section, which also provides insight in the "mysterious" correspondence between rectangle tilings and electric networks. For non-planar nets the idea of rectangle tilings can be widened to 'Cartesian squarings'. A Cartesian squaring is the dissection of the product P X Q of two finite sets into 'squaresets', i.e., sets A X B with A subset of P and B subset of Q, and card(A) = card(B). - Rainer Rosenthal, Dec 14 2022
Take the set SetA337517(n) of resistances, counted by A337517. For each resistance R multiply numerator and denominator. Conjecture: a(n) is the maximum of all these products. The reason is that common factors of V_s and A_s are quite rare (see the beautiful exceptional example with 21 resistors).

Examples

			n = 3:
Networks with 3 unit resistors have A337517(3) = 4 resistance values: {1/3, 3, 3/2, 2/3}. The maximum product numerator X denominator is 6.
n = 6:
Networks with 6 unit resistors have A337517(6) = 57 resistance values, where 11/13 and 13/11 are the resistances with maximum product numerator X denominator.
