COMMENTS

An achiral coloring is identical to its reflection. The Schläfli symbol of the 24-cell is {3,4,3}. It has 24 octahedral facets. It is self-dual. There are 576 elements in the automorphism group of the 24-cell that are not in its rotation group. They divide into 10 conjugacy classes. The first formula is obtained by averaging the edge (or face) cycle indices after replacing x_i^j with n^j according to the Pólya enumeration theorem.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, order 61.

FORMULA

a(n) = (8*n^16 + 8*n^18 + 16*n^20 + 12*n^24 + 2*n^48 + n^52 + n^60) / 48.

a(n) = Sum_{j=1..Min(n,60)} A338959(n) * binomial(n,j).

a(n) = 2*A338953(n) - A338952(n) = A338952(n) - 2*A338954(n) = A338953(n) - A338954(n).
