A centered octahedral number or Haüy octahedral number is a figurate number that counts the points of a three-dimensional integer lattice that lie inside an octahedron centered at the origin.^[1] The same numbers are special cases of the Delannoy numbers, which count certain two-dimensional lattice paths.^[2] The Haüy octahedral numbers are named after René Just Haüy.
