Comments

Each member of a chiral pair is a reflection, but not a rotation, of the other. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with one edge. For n=2, the figure is a square with 4 edges. For n=3, the figure is a cube with 12 edges. The number of edges is n*2^(n-1).

Also the number of chiral pairs of colorings of the regular (n-2)-dimensional simplexes in a regular n-dimensional orthoplex.

Examples

			Table begins with T(1,1):

For T(2,3)=3, the chiral arrangements are AABC-AACB, ABBC-ACBB, and ABCC-ACCB.

Formula

The algorithm used in the Mathematica program below assigns each permutation of the axes to a partition of n and then considers separate conjugacy classes for axis reversals. It uses the formulas in Balasubramanian's paper. If the value of m is increased, one can enumerate colorings of higher-dimensional elements beginning with T(m,1).

T(n,k) = A337407(n,k) - A337408(n,k) = (A337407(n,k) - A337410(n,k)) / 2 = A337408(n,k) - A337410(n,k).
