A335679 Array read by antidiagonals: T(m,n) (m>=1, n>=1) = number of edges in figure formed by taking m equally spaced points on a line and n equally spaced points on a parallel line, and joining each of the m points to each of the n points by a line segment.

Comments

The case m=n (the main diagonal) is dealt with in A331757. A306302 has illustrations for the diagonal case for m = 1 to 15.

Also A335678 has colored illustrations for many values of m and n.

Formula

Comment from Max Alekseyev, Jun 28 2020 (Start):

T(m,n) = 2*A114999(m-1,n-1) - A331762(m-1,n-1) + m*n + m + n - 2 for all m, n >= 1. This follows from the Alekseyev-Basova-Zolotykh (2015) article.

Proof: Here is the appropriate modification of the corresponding comment in A306302: Assuming that K(m,n) has vertices at (i,0) and (j,1), for i=0..m-1 and j=0..n-1, the projective map (x,y) -> ((1-y)/(x+1), y/(x+1)) maps K(m,n) to the partition of the right triangle described by Alekseyev et al. (2015), for which Theorem 13 gives the number of regions, line segments, and intersection points. (End)
