FORMULA

If m, n even then T(m, n) = Prod(j=1..m/2, Prod(k=1..n/2, 4*cos(j*Pi/(m+1))^2 + 4*cos(k*Pi/(n+1))^2)).

MATHEMATICA

t[m_, n_] := Product[2*(2 + Cos[2j*Pi/(m+1)] + Cos[2k*Pi/(n+1)]), {k, 1, n/2}, {j, 1, m/2}]; t[_?OddQ, _?OddQ] = 0; Flatten[ Table[ FullSimplify[ t[m-n+1, n]], {m, 1, 12}, {n, 1, m}]](* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 25 2011 *)
