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

[Neil Sloane]

PS
Ed, there is always a question which comes up at this point. Some
of the subgroup sequences will have alternate zeros, as in this one
from your email:

90-degree rotation: 0, 0, 1, 0, 102, 0, 255359, 0, 15504309761, 0.

The question is, should one skip the zeros, which is the usual convention
in the OEIS, or should one include them,
so that in the end one can say that the main sequence is a simple
sum a(n) = b(n) + c(n) + d(n) + ...
rather than having to say
a(n) = b(n) + c(2n) + d(n) + ...
On the whole I think it is better to stay with
the usual OEIS convention, and leave out the
alternating 0's. So 0,1,102, ... in
the example.

Neil
