Comments

There are six orbits on nodes, and six distinct coordination sequences, which are A307201 (nodes of type alpha), A307202 (alpha'), A307203 (alpha''), A307270 (alpha'''), A307204 (alpha''''), and A307206 (beta).

The group is p3m1. - Davide M. Proserpio, Apr 01 2019

Formula

For n >= 10, a(n+4) = a(n) + [23,23,22,22] according as n == [0,1,2,3] mod 4. - Chaim Goodman-Strauss, Mar 31 2019

From Colin Barker, Apr 03 2019: (Start)

G.f.: (1 + 2*x + 5*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 8*x^5 + 4*x^6 + 8*x^7 + 3*x^8 + 4*x^9 + 2*x^10 - x^12 + x^13 - 4*x^14 + 2*x^15 - 2*x^16) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 + x)*(1 + x^2)^2).

a(n) = a(n-1) - a(n-2) + a(n-3) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) + a(n-6) - a(n-7) for n>16. (End)
