A100010 Iterated hyperdiamond numbers, starting with 24-cell(2) = 24. Hyperdiamond numbers, figurate numbers based on the 4-dimensional 24-cell, have the formula 24-cell(n) = n^2*((3*n^2)-(4*n)+2). This sequence is the hyperdiamond number of the hyperdiamond number of ... of 2. +0

COMMENT

This need not start at 24-cell(2) = 24. For example, starting at a(0) = 3, which is not a hyperdiamond number, we have a(1) = 24-cell(3) = 3^2*((3*3^2)-(4*3)+2) = 153; and a(2) = 24-cell(24-cell(3)) = 24-cell(153) = 153^2*((3*153^2)-(4*153)+2) = 1629664353; and a(3) = 24-cell(24-cell(24-cell(3))) = 24-cell(1629664353) = 21159914972910583843562449776792301953.

FORMULA

a(0) = 2; hyperdiamond numbers, figurate numbers based on the 4-dimensional 24-cell, have the formula 24-cell(n) = n^2*((3*n^2)-(4*n)+2). a(1) = 24-cell(2) = 24. a(2) = 24-cell(24-cell(2)) = 941184. For k>1, a(k+1) = 24-cell((a(k)).

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 941184 because a(0) = 2 is the seed for this instance of the more general recurrence, a(1) = 24-cell(2) = 2^2*((3*2^2)-(4*2)+2) = 24; a(2) = 24-cell(24-cell(2)) = 24-cell(24) = 24^2*((3*24^2)-(4*24)+2) = 941184.
