%N Table read by antidiagonals: T(w,n) is the number of n-step self avoiding walks on a 3D cubic lattice confined inside a tube of cross section w x w where the walk starts at the tube's edge
%F For n <= w, T(w,n) = A259808(n).
%e T(1,2) = 12 as after a step in one of the two directions toward the adjacent tube edge the walk must turn along the side; this eliminates the 2-step straight walk in those two directions, so the total number of walks is 2*3 + 2*4 - 2 = 12.
