COMMENTS

Number of rectangles that can be formed from the vertices of an n-dimensional cube. E.g. a(3)=12 because the three dimensional cube has six faces plus six rectangles passing through the center of the cube. Cf. A064436: each rectangle on the cube provides an opportunity for a function to not be a linear threshold function, by alternating in value around the rectangle. - Matthew Cook (cook(AT)paradise.caltech.edu), Jan 26 2004

FORMULA

a(n) = (2^n)*stirling2(n+3, 3), n>=0, with stirling2(n, m)=A008277(n, m).

G.f.: x^2/((1-2*x)*(1-4*x)*(1-6*x)). E.g.f.: (exp(2*x)-8*exp(4*x)+9*exp(6*x))/2!.

a(n) =((6^n - 2^n)/4-(4^n - 2^n)/2)/2 , n>=0 [From Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 05 2009]
