A338146 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of oriented colorings of the edges of a regular n-D orthoplex (or ridges of a regular n-D orthotope) using exactly k colors. Row 1 has 1 column; row n>1 has 2*n*(n-1) columns. 5

COMMENTS
Each chiral pair is counted as two when enumerating oriented arrangements. A ridge is an (n-2)-face of an n-D polytope. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with one edge. For n=2, the figure is a square with 4 edges (vertices). For n=3, the figure is an octahedron (cube) with 12 edges. For n>1, the number of edges (ridges) is 2*n*(n-1). The Schläfli symbols for the n-D orthotope (hypercube) and the n-D orthoplex (hyperoctahedron, cross polytope) are {4,3,...,3,3} and {3,3,...,3,4} respectively, with n-2 3's in each case. The figures are mutually dual.
The algorithm used in the Mathematica program below assigns each permutation of the axes to a partition of n and then considers separate conjugacy classes for axis reversals. It uses the formulas in Balasubramanian's paper. If the value of m is increased, one can enumerate colorings of higher-dimensional elements beginning with T(m,1).

FORMULA
For n>1, A337411(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..2*n*(n-1)} T(n,j) * binomial(k,j).
T(n,k) = A338147(n,k) + A338148(n,k) = 2*A338147(n,k) - A338149(n,k) = 2*A338148(n,k) + A338149(n,k).
T(2,k) = A338142(2,k) = A325016(2,k) = A325008(2,k); T(3,k) = A338142(3,k).
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins with T(1,1):

...
For T(2,3)=9, the 3 achiral colorings are ABAC, ABCB, and ACBC. The three chiral pairs are AABC-AACB, ABBC-ACBB, and ABCC-ACCB.
