COMMENT

Row n contains floor(n/2) entries.

The entries in row n are the coefficients of the Wiener polynomial of the cycle C_n.

Sum of entries in row n = n(n-1)/2=A000217(n-1).

Sum(k*T(n,k), k=1..floor(n/2))=the Wiener index of the cycle C_n = A034828(n).

FORMULA

T(2n+1,k)=2n+1 (1<=k<=n); T(2n,k)=2n (1<=k<=n-1); T(2n,n)=n.

G.f.=G(q,z)=qz^2/(1+z-z^2-qz^3)/[(1-qz^2)^2*(1-z)^2].

EXAMPLE

T(4,2)=2 because in C_4 (a square) there are 2 distances equal to 2.

MAPLE

P:=proc(n) if `mod`(n, 2)=0 then n*(sum(q^j, j=1..(1/2)*n-1))+(1/2)*n*q^((1/2)*n) else n*(sum(q^j, j=1..(1/2)*n-1/2)) end if end proc: for n from 2 to 18 do p[n]:=P(n) end do: for n from 2 to 18 do seq(coeff(p[n], q, j), j=1..floor((1/2)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
