%N A079682 Order of Burnside group B(4,n) of exponent 4 and rank n.
%C A079682 The Burnside group of exponent e and rank r is B(e,r) := F_r / N where 
               F_r is the free group generated by x_1, ..., x_r and N is the normal 
               subgroup generated by all z^e with z in F_r. The Burnside problem 
               is to determine when B(e,r) is finite.
%C A079682 B(1,r), B(2,r), B(3,r), B(4,r) and B(6,r) are all finite: |B(1,r)| = 
               r, |B(2,r)| = 2^r, |B(3,r)| = A051576, |B(4,r)| = A079682, |B(6,r)| 
               = A079683.
%C A079682 B(e,r) is infinite for e > 2 and n >= 13 (Ivanov).
