A341800 Irregular table read by rows: Take a 2 by 1 ellipse with all diagonals drawn, as in A341688. Then T(n,k) = number of k-sided polygons in the figure containing 2n vertices, for k >= 3.

0, 4, 18, 6, 52, 28, 4, 120, 84, 22, 6, 244, 192, 72, 16, 434, 432, 124, 54, 8, 748, 748, 300, 52, 16, 4, 1234, 1232, 482, 164, 26, 2, 4, 1896, 1940, 776, 220, 36, 8, 2764, 2926, 1332, 330, 78, 10, 3892, 4460, 1716, 536, 88, 28, 0, 4, 5580, 5918, 2642, 784, 152, 44, 4

Comments

The terms are from numeric computation - no formula for a(n) is currently known.

See A341688 for a description of the ellipse and images of the regions, and A341762 for images of the vertices.

Examples

			A 2 by 1 ellipse consisting of 12 vertices, n = 6, contains 244 triangle, 192 quadrilaterals, 72 pentagons, 16 hexagons and no other n-gons, so the sixth row is [244, 192, 72, 16]. See the linked image.
