%N Square array read by upwards antidiagonals: T(p,q) is the number cells required to completely surround a single cell of the regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {p,q}.

%F T(p,q) = p*(q-2).

%e Rows begin:

%e p/q 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...

%e 3 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 ...

%e 4 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 ...

%e 5 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 ...

%e 6 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 ...

%e 7 7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 ...

%e 8 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 ...

%e 9 9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 ...

%e 10 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 ...

%e For example, a single square on the Euclidean plane, {4,4}, requires 8 cells to completely surround it. On the {4,5} hyperbolic plane, 12 cells are required.
