Seqfans,
Below are 3 sequences that would also be of interest, that count
the
number of unique non-commutative products in (A+B+C+D)^n.
The desired sequences are defined below.
(A1) "a(n) = number of unique matrix products in (A+B+C+D)^n where
commutator [A,B]=0 but neither A nor B commutes with C or D."
(A2) "a(n) = number of unique matrix products in (A+B+C+D)^n where
commutators [A,B]=[C,D]=0 but neither A nor B commutes with C or D."
(A3) "a(n) = number of unique matrix products in (A+B+C+D)^n where
commutators [A,B]=[A,C]=[B,C]=0 but D does not commute with A, B, or C."
(The last one (A3) is a correction of a variation stated in my prior
email.)
If anyone could arrive at enough initial terms of these counts, it would
be nice!
I do no know how to compute these sequences using PARI.
Thanks,
Paul
