%e ... - _Andrew Howroyd_, May 27 2017

%e T(2,2)=8 because in a square we have four distances equal to 1 and two distances equal to 2.

%e T(2,1)=1 because on the path graph on two vertices there is one distance equal to 1.

%e T(3,2)=25 because on the P(2) X P(3) graph there are 7 distances equal to 1, 6 distances equal to 2 and 2 distances equal to 3, with 7*1 + 6*2 + 2*3 = 25.

%e Triangle starts: 0; 1,8; 4,25,72; 10,56,154,320;

%p T:=proc(n, k) options operator, arrow: (1/6)*k*n*(n+k)*(k*n-1) end proc: for n to 9 do seq(T(n,k),k=1..n) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
