%N Table read by antidiagonals: T(h,n) is the number of n-step self avoiding walks on a 3D cubic lattice confined inside a box of size 2h x 2h x 2h where the walk starts at the center of one of the box's faces.
%F For n <= h, T(h,n) = A116904(n).
%F Row 1 = T(1,n) = A337033(n).
%F For n >= (2h+1)^3, T(h,n) = 0 as the walk contains more steps than there are available lattice points in the 2h X 2h X 2h box.
%e T(1,2) = 17. Taking the first step right,left,forward or backward hits the box's edge after which the walks has three directions for the second step, giving 4*3 = 12 walks in all. A first step upward can be followed by a second step in five directions. The total number of 2-step walks is therefore 12+5 = 17.
