%N Array read by descending antidiagonals: A(n,k) is the number of unoriented colorings of the facets of a regular n-dimensional orthoplex using up to k colors.

%C Also called cross polytope and hyperoctahedron. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with two vertices. For n=2 the figure is a square with four edges. For n=3 the figure is an octahedron with eight triangular faces. For n=4, the figure is a 16-cell with sixteen tetrahedral facets. The Schläfli symbol, {3,...,3,4}, of the regular n-dimensional orthoplex (n>1) consists of n-2 threes followed by a four. Each of its 2^n facets is an (n-1)-dimensional simplex. Two unoriented colorings are the same if congruent; chiral pairs are counted as one.

%C Also the number of unoriented colorings of the vertices of a regular n-dimensional orthotope (cube) using up to k colors.

%F The algorithm used in the Mathematica program below assigns each permutation of the axes to a partition of n. It then determines the number of permutations for each partition and the cycle index for each partition.

%F A(n,k) = A325012(n,k) - A325014(n,k) = (A325012(n,k) + A325015(n,k)) / 2 = A325014(n,k) + A325015(n,k).

%F A(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..2^n} A325017(n,j) * binomial(k,j).
