FORMULA
W(n,1) = A049598(n-1).
W(n,m) = n*(n-1)*(m+1)*(2*m+1) (n >= 3, m >= 1).
The Wiener polynomial of the graph G(n,m) is P(n,m;t) = n*(m+2)*t + (1/2)*n*(m^2+n+5*m-3)*t^2 + n*m*(m+n-3)*t^3 + (1/2)*n*m^2*(n-3)*t^4.
EXAMPLE
W(3,1)=36 because in the graph with vertex set {O,A,B,C,A',B',C'} and edge set {OA, OB, OC, AB, BC, CA, AA', BB', CC'} we have 9 pairs of vertices at distance 1 (the edges), 9 pairs at distance 2 (A'O, A'B, A'C, B'O, B'A, B'C, C'O, C'A, C'B) and 3 pairs at distance 3 (A'B', B'C', C'A'); 9*1 + 9*2 + 3*3 = 36.

MAPLE
W := proc (n, m) options operator, arrow: n*(n-1)*(m+1)*(2*m+1) end proc: for n from 3 to 12 do seq(W(n-i, i+1), i = 0 .. n-3) end do; # yields the antidiagonals in triangular form
W := proc (n, m) options operator, arrow: n*(n-1)*(m+1)*(2*m+1) end proc: for n from 3 to 12 do seq(W(n, m), m = 1 .. 10) end do; # yields the first 10 entries of each of rows 3, 4, ..., 12.
