Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of n-fold branched coverings of the projective plane with r cyclic branch points (n,r>=1); array read by downward antidiagonals.
%C The second column is A113947.

%F E.g. for n=7 and r>=1, a(7, r)=(2*720^(r-1)+(-1)^r*2*120^(r-1)+2*48^(r-1)+(-1)^r*36^(r-1)+6^r)/7 (more generally, a(7, r, h)=7^(h-2)*(2*720^m+(-1)^r*2*120^m+2*48^m+(-1)^r*36^m+6^r) for 7-sheeted coverings of the non-orientable surface of genus h>=1, where m=h+r-2).
