Comments

The zonotope Z(D,d) is the projection of the D-dimensional hypercube onto the d-dimensional space and the tiles are the projections of the d-dimensional faces of the hypercube. Here the codimension, i.e., D-d, is constant = 5 and d >= 0.

Also the number of signotopes on r+4 elements of rank r. A signotope on n elements of rank r is a mapping X:{{1..n} choose r}->{+,-} such that for any r+1 indices I={i_0,...,i_r} with i_0 < i_1 < ... < i_r, the sequence X(I-i_0), X(I-i_1), ..., X(I-i_r) changes its sign at most once (see Felsner-Weil reference).
