Comments

The subset of nodes is contained in the top left-hand quarter of the rectangle and has nodal dimensions floor((n+1)/2) and 2 to capture all geometrically distinct counts.

The quarter-rectangle is read by rows.

The irregular array of numbers is:

....k....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9...10

..n

..2.....12...14

..3.....32...36...36...48

..4.....80...88...86..100

..5....188..210..209..228..204..204

..6....418..470..472..524..479..452

..7....906.1016.1028.1152.1050.1020.1088..980

..8...1943.2170.2219.2472.2250.2222.2333.2200

..9...4137.4610.4754.5260.4811.4738.4929.4784.4920.4924

where k indicates the position of a node in the quarter-rectangle.

For each n, the maximum value of k is 2*floor((n+1)/2).

Reading this array by rows gives the sequence.

Examples

			When n = 2, the number of times (NT) each node in the rectangle (N) occurs in a complete non-self-adjacent simple path is
N   0  1  2
    3  4  5
NT 12 14 12
   12 14 12
To limit duplication, only the top left-hand corner 12 and the 14 to its right are stored in the sequence,
  i.e. T(2,1) = 12 and T(2,2) = 14.
