Triangle read by rows: number of triangles formed by lines from two vertices of a triangle to the opposite side that segment the opposite sides into m and n segments. Since f(m,n) = f(n,m), it suffices to give the results in a triangular table.

COMMENTS

Frank Buss gave this as a puzzle; K. L. Metlov solved it, submitting his result in the J language created by Kenneth Iverson. The program given below is only five tokens long. J defines a series of three functions to be a "fork" defined by x (f g h ) y = (x f y) g (f h y) - a generalization of the usual mathematical practice of writing (f + g) y to mean (f y) + (g y). J also has a primitive "half" and has a dummy function "cap" whose purpose is to permit more forks to be written. 3 (* * +) 5 is thus (3 * 5) * (3 + 5) or 120. cap half 3 (* * +) 5 is thus 60.
This sequence is the dimensions of the various irreducible representations of SU(3). In the language of physics, the integers m and n are one more than the numbers of quarks or antiquarks, respectively, that label the representation. - Alex Meiburg, Dec 13 2020 =
Comment on the previous one: D(n, m) = f(m+1, n+1) = (n+1)*(m+1)*(n+m+2), for 0 <= m <= n, (given as array D(n,m) as example in A212331) is the dimension of the irreducible SU(3) multiplet (n, m), denoted also by D(n, m). The multiplet (m, n) is denoted also by a bar over D(n, m). The irreducuble tensor t(n, m) is symmetric in n upper indices from {1,2,3}, symmetric in m lower indices, and traceless in every pair of an upper and a lower index. See the Coleman reference for a derivation. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 18 2020

FORMULA
|
f(m, n) = 1/2 * (m * n) * (m + n).
G.f.: x*y*(1 + 4*x*y + x^2*(y - 9)*y - 3*x^3*(y - 1)*y + 3*x^4*y^2)/((1 - x)^3*(1 - x*y)^4). - Stefano Spezia, Oct 01 2023

EXAMPLE
|
f(3, 5) is 60, from 1/2 * (3 * 5) * (3 + 5) or 1/2 * 15 * 8.
The triangle f(m, n) starts:
m\n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
1: 1
2: 3 8
3: 6 15 27
4: 10 24 42 64
5: 15 35 60 90 125
6: 21 48 81 120 165 216
7: 28 63 105 154 210 273 343
8: 36 80 132 192 260 336 420 512
9: 45 99 162 234 315 405 504 612 729
10: 55 120 195 280 375 480 595 720 855 1000
