Take n points, in a regular n-gon (i.e., equally spaced on a circle).
Connect
each pair of points (with a straight line segment). Now count line
segments,
where a new segment is considered to start wherever two lines meet.
I get, starting with n=1:
0,1,3,8,20,42,91,136
I think a(9) = 243, but I'm not very confident of that.
This sequence is not in the OEIS.
Except for n = 2, a(n) is divisible by n. Dividing by n, we get, from
n=3:
1,2,4,7,13,17
which matches A002466, but if my value for n = 9 is correct, it
diverges
thereafter.
Can someone calculate more values (and verify these)?
