 OFFSET 0,2 COMMENTS Also, the number of regions the plane can be cut into by two overlapping concave (2n)-gons. - Joshua Zucker, Nov 05 2002 If X is an n-set and Y_i (i=1,2,3) are mutually disjoint 2-subsets of X then a(n-5) is equal to the number of 5-subsets of X intersecting each Y_i (i=1,2,3). - Milan Janjic, Aug 26 2007 Binomial transform of a(n) is A055580(n). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Apr 15 2014 The identity (4*n^2+2)^2 - (n^2+1)*(4*n)^2 = 4 can be written as a(n)^2 - A002522(n)*A008586(n)^2 = 4. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 15 2014 Also the least number of unit cubes required, at the n-th iteration, to surround a 3D solid built from unit cubes, in order to hide all its visible faces, starting with a unit cube. - R. J. Cano, Sep 29 2015 Also, coordination sequence for "tfs" 3D uniform tiling. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 10 2018 Also, the number of n-th order specular reflections arriving at a receiver point from an emitter point inside a cuboid with reflective faces. - Michael Schutte, Sep 18 2018 REFERENCES H.
