Comments

Each chiral pair is counted as one when enumerating unoriented arrangements. 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 an octahedron with 12 edges. The number of edges is 2n*(n-1) for n>1.

Also the number of unoriented colorings of the regular (n-2)-dimensional orthotopes (hypercubes) in a regular n-dimensional orthotope.

Examples

			Table begins with T(1,1):
1   2     3      4       5        6         7          8          9 ...
1   6    21     55     120      231       406        666       1035 ...

For T(2,2)=6, the arrangements are AAAA, AAAB, AABB, ABAB, ABBB, and BBBB.

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) = A337411(n,k) - A337413(n,k) = (A337411(n,k) + A337414(n,k)) / 2 = A337413(n,k) + A337414(n,k).
