Comments

A(n,k) is the total sum of lengths of longest ending contiguous subsequences with the same value over all s in {1,...,n}^k:

A(4,1) = 4 = 1+1+1+1: [1], [2], [3], [4].

A(1,4) = 4: [1,1,1,1].

A(3,2) = 12 = 2+1+1+1+2+1+1+1+2: [1,1], [1,2], [1,3], [2,1], [2,2], [2,3], [3,1], [3,2], [3,3].

A(2,3) = 14 = 3+1+1+2+2+1+1+3: [1,1,1], [1,1,2], [1,2,1], [1,2,2], [2,1,1], [2,1,2], [2,2,1], [2,2,2].

Formula

A(1,k) = k, else A(n,k) = n/(n-1)*(n^k-1).

A(n,k) = Sum_{i=1..k} n^i.

A(n,k) = Sum_{i=1..k+1} binomial(k+1,i)*A(n-i,k)*(-1)^(i+1) for n>k, given values A(0,k), A(1,k),..., A(k,k). - Yosu Yurramendi, Sep 03 2013

Maple

A:= (n, k)-> `if`(n=1, k, (n/(n-1))*(n^k-1)):
seq(seq(A(n, d-n), n=0..d), d=0..12);

Mathematica

a[0, 0] = 0; a[1, k_] := k; a[n_, k_] := n*(n^k-1)/(n-1); Table[a[n-k, k], {n, 0, 12}, {k, n, 0, -1}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 16 2013 *)
