Comments

These values have been taken from the Buekenhout (1998) paper (see link). During the unfolding of these solid nets along their common face, the possibility of any overlapping is ignored.

This finite sequence is fully determined but a(5) and a(6) are too large to be displayed in data. See formulas below to calculate these terms.

Formula

a(1) = 3;

a(2) = (82944 + 12*16 + 24*8 + 4*2304 + 6*128 + 12*96 + 12*192 + 12*288)/(2^7 * 3) = 261;

a(3) = 2^5*(2^7 * 3^3 + 1 + 3^2) = 110912;

a(4) = 6*(2^19 * 5688888889 + 347) = 17895697067018274;

a(5) = 2^7 * 5^2 * 7^3 * (2^114 * 3^78 * 5^20 * 7^33 + 2^47 * 3^18 * 5^2 * 7^12 * 53^5 * 2311^3 + 239^2 * 3931^2);

a(6) = 2^188 * 3^102 * 5^20 * 7^36 * 11^48 * 23^48 * 29^30.
