A213379

Irregular array T(n,k) of numbers/2 of non-extendable (complete) non-self-adjacent simple paths of each length within a square lattice bounded by rectangles with nodal dimensions n and 6, n >= 2.

4, 4, 6, 10, 14, 16, 8, 4, 8, 16, 22, 48, 60, 82, 90, 66, 34, 24, 2, 4, 8, 20, 40, 78, 116, 192, 180, 354, 278, 530, 268, 546, 124, 32, 4, 8, 20, 44, 106, 172, 322, 410, 612, 602, 1462, 1122, 3240, 1712, 4682, 1394, 706, 218, 4

COMMENTS

The irregular array of numbers is:

...k..3....4....5....6....7....8....9...10...11...12...13...14...15...16...17...18...19...20...21

.2....4....4....6...10...14...16....8

.3....4....8...16...22...48...60...82...90...66...34...24....2

.4....4....8...20...40...78..116..192..180..354..278..530..268..546..124...32

.5....4....8...20...44..106..172..322..410..612..602.1462.1122.3240.1712.4682.1394..706..218....4

where k is the path length in nodes. In an attempt to define the irregularity of the array, it appears that the maximum value of k is 4n - floor((n-8)/4) for n >= 8. Reading this array by rows gives the sequence. One half of the numbers of paths constitute the sequence to remove the effect of the bilateral symmetry of the rectangle.
