This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Comments

This sequence agrees with A001413 except for n=1, for which the given value is "purely conventional" (although the convention is non-standard): it counts 6 two-step closed paths, all of which visit no node twice but use an edge twice, so whether they are "self-avoiding" is indeed a matter of agreement. Same considerations apply to the first terms of A010568-A010570. - Andrey Zabolotskiy, May 29 2018

Crossrefs

Essentially the same as A001413.
Cf. A010568 (analog in 4 dimensions), A010569 (in 5D), A010570 (in 6D), A130706 (in 1D), A010566 (in 2D, different convention for n=1), A002896 (closed walks, not necessarily self-avoiding), A001412 (self-avoiding walks, not necessarily closed), A039618, A038515.
