COMMENTS
An obvious generalization not in the OEIS: Minimal number of cuts along the faces of the cells (i.e. along the 2-faces) of the six Platonic polytopes in four dimensions required to unfold the nets of the polytopes into 3-dimensional space.
Each cut is along an edge, so trivially a(n) <= A063722(n). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 20 2017
