Formulae

The nth d-dimensional centered regular orthotopic number is given by the formula:

where d is the dimension and 2d is the number of vertices.

Generating function

From the generating function of regular orthotopic numbers, we obtain:

where is the dth, d ≥ 0, Eulerian polynomial.

Order of basis

In 1638, Fermat proposed that every positive integer is a sum of at most three triangular numbers, four square numbers, five pentagonal numbers, and k k-polygonal numbers. Fermat claimed to have a proof of this result, although Fermat's proof has never been found.[2] Joseph Louis Lagrange proved the square case (known as the four squares theorem) in 1770 and Gauss proved the triangular case in 1796. In 1813, Cauchy finally proved the horizontal generalization that every nonnegative integer can be written as a sum of k k-gon numbers (known as the polygonal number theorem,) while a vertical (higher dimensional) generalization has also been made (known as the Hilbert-Waring problem.)

A nonempty subset A of nonnegative integers is called a basis of order g if g is the minimum number with the property that every nonnegative integer can be written as a sum of g elements in A. Lagrange’s sum of four squares can be restated as the set of nonnegative squares forms a basis of order 4.

Theorem (Cauchy) For every , the set of k-gon numbers forms a basis of order k, i.e. every nonnegative integer can be written as a sum of k k-gon numbers.

We note that polygonal numbers are two dimensional analogues of squares. Obviously, cubes, fourth powers, fifth powers, ... are higher dimensional analogues of squares. In 1770, Waring stated without proof that every nonnegative integer can be written as a sum of 4 squares, 9 cubes, 19 fourth powers, and so on.[3] In 1909, Hilbert proved that there is a finite number such that every nonnegative integer is a sum of th powers, i.e. the set of th powers forms a basis of order . The Hilbert-Waring problem is concerned with the study of for . This problem was one of the most important research topics in additive number theory in last 90 years, and it is still a very active area of research.

Table of formulae and values

N0, N1, N2,N3, ... are the number of vertices (0-dimensional elements), edges (1-dimensional elements), faces (2-dimensional elements), cells (3-dimensional elements)... respectively, where the (d-2)-dimensional elements are the polytope ridges and the (d-1)-dimensional elements are the polytope facets. The centered regular orthotopic numbers are listed by increasing number N0 of vertices.
