Moreover, in many cases, even more interesting than the numbers themselves
are the mathematical structures behind them. Trees, graphs, necklaces,
bracelets, Kepler towers, just to name a few. The sequence itself
is "just a fingerprint" for these, offering a "pointer" to the latest
research
done on the subject. (The %D-lines).*
