Comments

Also called cross polytope and hyperoctahedron. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with two vertices. For n=2 the figure is a square with four edges. For n=3 the figure is an octahedron with eight triangular faces. For n=4, the figure is a 16-cell with sixteen tetrahedral facets. The Schläfli symbol, {3,...,3,4}, of the regular n-dimensional orthoplex (n>1) consists of n-2 threes followed by a four. Each of its 2^n facets is an (n-1)-dimensional simplex. Two oriented colorings are the same if one is a rotation of the other; chiral pairs are counted as two.

Also the number of oriented colorings of the vertices of a regular n-dimensional orthotope (cube) using exactly k colors.

Examples

			Triangle begins with T(1,1):
  1  2
  1  4   9    6
  1 21 267 1718 5250 7980 5880 1680
For T(2,2)=4, two squares have three edges the same color, one has opposite edges the same color, and one has opposite edges different colors.

Formula

A325012(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..2^n} T(n,j) * binomial(k,j).

T(n,k) = A325017(n,k) + A325018(n,k) = 2*A325017(n,k) - A325019(n,k) = 2*A325018(n,k) + A325019(n,k).
