If $1 \leq x_i \leq n$ and $k < n $ what is the value of $\sum_{x_1,x_2,\cdots, x_k \; | \; \sum^k_{i = 1} x_i = n} \sum_{i < j} x_i x_j $

Given positive integers $n$ and $k$ such that $1<k<n$, let $S(n,k)$ be the set of postiive integer $k$-tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_k)$ for which $\displaystyle\sum^k_{i = 1} x_i = n$. For example, $S(5,...

Is this a known result on graph products?

Consider two undirected graphs $G=(V,E)$ and $H=(I,F)$. Denote by $\mathcal N_G(v)$ (resp., $\mathcal N_{H}(i)$) the first neighborhood of a node $v\in V$ (resp., $i\in I$), including $v$ (resp., $i$)....

Different slopes defined by nesting $m$ polygons

I know that the vertices of a regular $n$-gon determines the total of $n$ different slopes. We nest the total of $m \in \mathbb{N}$ polygons by drawing a $(1/2)n$-gon inscribed inside the original ...
