%C The hexagonal lattice is the familiar 2-dimensional lattice in which each point has 6 neighbors. This is sometimes called the triangular lattice.

%C Also the number of triangles with vertices on points of the hexagonal lattice that have area equal to n/2. - Amihay Hanany, Oct 15 2009 [Here the area is measured in the units of the lattice unit cell area; since the number of the triangles of different shapes with the same half-integral area is infinite, the triangles are probably counted up to the equivalence relation defined in the Davey, Hanany and Rak-Kyeong Seong paper. Also, this comment probably belongs to A003051, not here. - _Andrey Zabolotskiy_, Mar 10 2018 and Jul 04 2019]

%C Also number of 2n-vertex connected cubic vertex-transitive graphs which are Cayley graphs for a dihedral group [Potočnik et al.]. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Apr 19 2014
