Truncated Octahedral Number

DOWNLOAD Mathematica Notebook

A figurate number which is constructed as an octahedral number with a square pyramid removed from each of the six graph vertices,

TO_n=O_(3n-2)-6P_(n-1)^((4))
(1)
=16n^3-33n^2+24n-6,
(2)

where O_n is an octahedral number and P_n^((4)) is a square pyramidal number. The first few are 1, 38, 201, 586, ... (OEIS A005910). The generating function for the truncated octahedral numbers is

 (x(6x^3+55x^2+34x+1))/((x-1)^4)=x+38x^2+201x^3+....
