A338145 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of achiral colorings of the edges of a regular n-D orthotope (or ridges of a regular n-D orthoplex) using exactly k colors. Row n has n*2^(n-1) columns.

Comments

An achiral coloring is identical to its reflection. A ridge is an (n-2)-face of an n-D polytope. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with one edge. For n=2, the figure is a square with 4 edges (vertices). For n=3, the figure is a cube (octahedron) with 12 edges. The number of edges (ridges) is n*2^(n-1). The Schläfli symbols for the n-D orthotope (hypercube) and the n-D orthoplex (hyperoctahedron, cross polytope) are {4,...,3,3} and {3,3,...,4} respectively, with n-2 3's in each case. The figures are mutually dual.

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).

Examples

			Triangle begins with T(1,1):
  1
  1  4    3    0
  1 68 1200 7268 20025 27750 18900 5040 0 0 0 0
  ...
For T(2,2)=4, the achiral colorings are AAAB, AABB, ABAB, and ABBB. For T(2,3)=3, the achiral colorings are ABAC, ABCB, and ACBC.

Formula

A337410(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..n*2^(n-1)} T(n,j) * binomial(k,j).

T(n,k) = 2*A338143(n,k) - A338142(n,k) = A338142(n,k) - 2*A338144(n,k) = A338143(n,k) - A338144(n,k).

T(2,k) = A338149(2,k) = A325019(2,k) = A325011(2,k); T(3,k) = A338149(3,k).
