FORMULA
|
Conjecture: a(n) = 3*n^2 + 1 for equilateral triangles that only contain simple vertices when cut by n internal equilateral triangles. This is never the case if (n + 1) mod 3 = 0 for n > 3.
a(n) = 1 + 3*n + T2(n) + 2*T3(n) + 3*T4(n); a(n) = 1 + 3*n^2 - T3(n) - 3*T4(n), where T2 is the number of internal vertices meeting exactly two segments (these vertices are labeled in the A357007 links as "4 ngons"), T3 is the number of internal vertices meeting exactly three segments ("6 ngons"), and T4 is the number of internal vertices meeting exactly four segments ("8 ngons"). - Talmon Silver, Sep 23 2022
