Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of n-cycles on the graph of the regular 16-cell, 3 <= n <= 8.
%C Row n=3 of the triangle in A167986
%C The 16-cell is the dual polytope of the tesseract, and is one of 6 regular convex polytopes in 4 dimensions. The Schläfli symbol for the 16-cell is {3,3,4}.

%e a(3) = 32, because there are 32 3-cycles on the graph of the 16-cell.
%e Cycle polynomial is 32*x^3 + 102*x^4 + 288*x^5 + 640*x^6 + 960*x^7 + 744*x^8.
