%N Wiener index of the n-Keller graph.

%C The Keller graph is connected for n >= 2.

%C The n-Keller graph is distance regular with 4^n vertices and for n > 1 the radius is 2. The degree of each vertex is 4^n - 3^n - n. Sequence extrapolated to n = 1 using formula. (The Keller graph is disconnected for n = 1, so a(1) is not the Wiener index of that graph.) - _Andrew Howroyd_, Sep 08 2017
