%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of vertices in a "frame" of size n X k (see Comments in A331457 for definition).

%C See A331457 and A331776 for further illustrations.

%C There is a crucial difference between frames of size nX2 and size nXk with k = 1 or k >= 3. If k != 2, all regions are either triangles or quadrilaterals, but for k=2 regions with larger numbers of sides can appear. Remember also that for k <= 2, the "frame" has no hole, and the graph has genus 0, whereas for k >= 3 there is a nontrivial hole and the graph has genus 1.

%F Column 1 is A331755, for which there is an explicit formula.

%F Column 2 is A331763, for which no formula is known.

%F For m >= n >= 3, T(m,n) = A332600(m,n) - A331457(m,n) (Euler for genus 1 graph), and both A332600 and A331457 have explicit formulas.
