%N Coordination sequence for hexagonal lattice.

%C The hexagonal lattice is the familiar 2-dimensional lattice in which each point has 6 neighbors. This is sometimes called the triangular lattice. It is also the planar net 3.3.3.3.3.3.

%C Coordination sequence for 2-dimensional cyclotomic lattice Z[zeta_6].

%C Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cusp forms for Gamma_0( 20 ).

%C Also the Engel expansion of exp^(1/6); cf. A006784 for the Engel expansion definition. - _Benoit Cloitre_, Mar 03 2002

%C Numbers k such that k+floor(k/2) | k*floor(k/2). - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Dec 01 2020
