COMMENTS
The Aztec diamond graph of order n has 2*n*(n+1) vertices with integer coordinates (x,y) obeying |x-1/2| + |y-1/2| <= n and (2*n)^2 edges connecting vertices having Euclidean distance 1. It can be derived from the Aztec diamond using vertices to represent tiles and edges to connect vertices of neighboring tiles. The chromatic polynomial has 2*n*(n+1)+1 coefficients.
