The p7 term in the new Expansion for Lambda2(p) of the Monomer-Dimer Problem

In a recent paper S. Friedland and the author presented a formal expression for Lambda_d(p) of the monomer-dimer problem in d dimensions involving a power series in p. We there presented the result of computations for the terms in the power series through the sixth power. I herein present the result for the seventh power term, in d = 2. An interesting feature of the new computation is that it would have been impossible without a new algorithm for computation of the Tutte polynomial, by Bjorklund, Husfeldt, Kaski, and Koivisto.
