Suppose that S={-n,...,0,...,n} and that f(w,x,y,n) is a function, where w,x,y are in S. The number of ordered triples (w,x,y) satisfying f(w,x,y,n)=0, regarded as a function of n, is a sequence t of nonnegative integers. Sequences such as t/4 may also be integer sequences for all except certain initial values of n. In the following guide, such sequences are indicated in the related sequences column and may be included in the corresponding Mathematica programs.
