A171437 Square array read by antidiagonals: T(m,n) is the Wiener index of the prism graph C(m) x P(n) (m>=3, n>=1). The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of distances between all unordered pairs of vertices in the graph. 0

FORMULA
T(m,n) = (1/24)mn([4m(n^2-1)+3n(m^2-1)] if m is odd.
T(m,n) = (1/24)m^2*n[4(n^2-1)+3mn] if m is even.
The Wiener polynomial p[n](t) for C(2m+1) x P(n) satisfies the recurrence relation p[n]=p[n-1]+p[1]+(2m+1)*a[n], where a[n]=[t+2*sum(t^j,j=2..m+1)*sum(t^j,j=0..n-2) and p[1]=(2m+1)*sum(t^j,j=1..m).
The Wiener polynomial q[n](t) for C(2m) x P(n) satisfies the recurrence relation q[n]=q[n-1]+q[1]+2m*b[n], where b[n]=[t+t^{m+1}+2*sum(t^j,j=2..m)*sum(t^j,j=0..n-2) and q[1]=2m*sum(t^j,j=1..m-1)+m*t^m.
The above recurrence relations yield simple expressions for the Wiener polynomials (however, they are too long for being reproduced here).
EXAMPLE
Square array starts:
3,21,63,138,255,...

MAPLE
T := proc (m, n) if `mod`(m, 2) = 1 then (1/24)*m*n*(4*m*(n^2-1)+3*n*(m^2-1)) else (1/24)*m^2*n*(4*n^2-4+3*m*n) end if end proc: for m from 3 to 12 do seq(T(m+1-j, j), j = 1 .. m-2) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
