COMMENTS

An E-Toothpick is formed by three half toothpicks, as a trident.

On the infinite triangular grid, we start at round 0 with no E-Toothpicks.

At round 1 we place an E-Toothpick anywhere in the plane.

At round 2 we place three other E-Toothpicks.

At round 3 we place five other E-Toothpicks.

And so on...

A special rule is ... (Needs definition)

The sequence gives the number of E-Toothpicks after n rounds. A161329 (the first differences) gives the number added at the n-th round.

See the entry A139250 for more information about the toothpick process and the toothpick propagation.

Note that, on the infinite triangular grid, a E-Toothpick can be represented as a polyedge with three components. In this case, at n-th round, the structure is a polyedge with 3*a(n) components.
