Here is a another boring array apparently well hidden in the OEIS:      1      2       3       4       5       6       7       8       0       2       6      12      20      30      42      56       0       2      12      36      80     150     252     392       0       2      24     108     320     750    1512    2744       0       2      48     324    1280    3750    9072   19208       0   2      96     972    5120   18750   54432  134456       0       2     192    2916   20480   93750  326592  941192       0       2     384    8748   81920  468750 1959552 6588344 defined by T(n,l)= l*(l-1)^(n-1), giving the number of n-letterwords drawn from an alphabet of l letters, and no adjacent letters the same.Rows n>=1. Columns l>=1. Closely related to A051129.(Actualy: the aray of n-leter words; "let(t)er" and "ar(r)ay" are not in thedictionary admit(t)ed by this definition.)Richard_______________________________________________Seqfan Mailing list - http://list.seqfan.eu/
