COMMENTS
The concept of the packing chromatic number was introduced by Goddard et al. (2008) under the name broadcast chromatic number. The term packing chromatic number was introduced by Brešar et al. (2007).

FORMULA
T(n,1) = 0 for n >= 2. (The only connected graph with packing chromatic number 1 is the 1-node graph.)
T(n,2) = 1 for n >= 2. (The only connected graphs with packing chromatic number 2 are the star graphs on at least 2 nodes.)
T(n,n) = 1. (The only connected graph with n nodes and packing chromatic number n is the complete graph on n nodes.)
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
n\k| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
