COMMENT

Number of wedged n-spheres in the homotopy type of the Boolean complex of the affine Coxeter group A~ _n. - Bridget Eileen Tenner (bridget(AT)math.depaul.edu), Jun 04 2008

FORMULA

Partial sums of Lucas numbers A000032 less 1. G.f.: (1+x^2)/((1-x)(1-x-x^2)); a(n)=((3+sqrt(5))((1+sqrt(5))/2)^n+(3-sqrt(5))((1-sqrt(5))/2)^n)/2-2. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 03 2003

a(n)=A001610(n+1)-1. a(n)=F(n)+F(n+2)-2 {where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number} - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 31 2008

a(n)=A000032(n+2)-2. [From Matthew Vandermast (ghodges14(AT)comcast.net), Nov 05 2009]

EXAMPLE

The Boolean complex of the affine Coxeter group \widetilde{A}_3 is homotopy equivalent to the wedge of 5 3-spheres.
