The triangle T(n,k) is:

n|k = 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

-+--------------------------

2| 3

3| 5 7

4| 6 9 11

5| 8 11 14 17

6| 9 14 17 21 24

7| 11 16 20 24 29 33

8| 12 18 22 27 32 38 42

9| 14 20 25 30 36 42 48 53

Reading this triangle by rows gives the sequence.

It appears that T(n,k) <= ceiling(3nk/4).

Examples

			T(2,2) = nodal length of the longest complete non-self-adjacent simple path within a 2 X 2 node rectangle.
