A366484 Place n equally spaced points on each side of an equilateral triangle, and join each of these points by a chord to the 2*n new points on the other two sides: sequence gives number of interior vertices in the resulting planar graph.

Formula

a(n) = A366485(n) - A366486(n) - 3*n - 2 (Euler).

Crossrefs

If the 3*n points are placed "in general position" instead of uniformly, we get sequences A366478, A365929, A366932, A367015.

If the 3*n points are placed uniformly and we also draw chords from the three corner points of the triangle to these 3*n points, we get A274585, A092866, A274586, A092867.

Sequence in context: A153703 A222503 A320282 * A297081 A297603 A094499
