[seqfan] Re: Symmetrical Hamiltonian cycles on 2n*2n square grids

[Neil Sloane]

Ed, I think the answer is a definite Yes.

In other counting problems that are treated in the OEIS
the subsidiary sequences (classifying the results
according to symmetry group) have turned out
to be useful later.

So please go ahead and submit them.

Best regards

Neil
