question

For any integer n2n \geq 2, let N(n)N(n) be the maximal number of triples (ai,bi,ci),i=1,,N(n)\left(a_{i}, b_{i}, c_{i}\right), i=1, \ldots, N(n), consisting of nonnegative integers ai,bia_{i}, b_{i} and cic_{i} such that the following two conditions are satisfied: (1) ai+bi+ci=na_{i}+b_{i}+c_{i}=n for all i=1,,N(n)i=1, \ldots, N(n), (2) If iji \neq j, then aiaj,bibja_{i} \neq a_{j}, b_{i} \neq b_{j} and cicjc_{i} \neq c_{j}. Determine N(n)N(n) for all n2n \geq 2.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
For any integer n≥2, let N(n) be the maximal number of triples (a_(i),b_(i),c_(i)),i=1,…,N(n), consisting of nonnegative integers a_(i),b_(i) and c_(i) such that the following two conditions are satisfied:

(1) a_(i)+b_(i)+c_(i)=n for all i=1,…,N(n),

(2) If i≠j, then a_(i)≠a_(j),b_(i)≠b_(j) and c_(i)≠c_(j).

Determine N(n) for all n≥2.
Original LaTeX notation
For any integer $n \geq 2$, let $N(n)$ be the maximal number of triples $\left(a_{i}, b_{i}, c_{i}\right), i=1, \ldots, N(n)$, consisting of nonnegative integers $a_{i}, b_{i}$ and $c_{i}$ such that the following two conditions are satisfied:

(1) $a_{i}+b_{i}+c_{i}=n$ for all $i=1, \ldots, N(n)$,

(2) If $i \neq j$, then $a_{i} \neq a_{j}, b_{i} \neq b_{j}$ and $c_{i} \neq c_{j}$.

Determine $N(n)$ for all $n \geq 2$.
