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 reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 17 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^22 = I.

%C The initial terms coincide with those of A170736, although the two sequences are eventually different.

%C First disagreement at index 22: a(22) = 328827822935179135520079736, A170736(22) = 328827822935179135520079872. - Klaus Brockhaus, Apr 09 2011

%C Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
