A357254 Table read by antidiagonals: T(n,k) (n >= 3, k >= 0) is the number of edges in an n-gon when k internal n-gons are drawn between the n*k points that divide each side into k+1 equal parts.

Formula

T(n,k) = A357216(n,k) + A357235(n,k) - 1 by Euler's formula.

T(n,0) = n.

T(n,1) = 3n.

Conjectured formula for all columns for n >= 7: T(n,k) = 2n*k^2 + n.

T(3,k) = A357008(k).

T(4,k) = A357061(k).

T(6,k) = A357198(k).

Conjectured formula for all rows except for n = 3, 4, 6: T(n,k) = 2n*k^2 + n.
