COMMENTS

Polytetrahedra are a 3-dimensional generalization of polyiamonds, composed of unit regular tetrahedra in Euclidean 3-space. - Peter Kagey, Aug 05 2019, adapted from comment by Jonathan Vos Post.

EXAMPLE
|
For n = 1, the a(1) = 1 polytetrahedron is the tetrahedron itself.
For n = 2, the a(2) = 2 polytetrahedra are formed by either gluing two tetrahedra along a face (triangular bipyramid) or gluing two tetrahedra along an edge.
For n = 7, the a(3) = 7 polytetrahedra are given in the links section.
