OOPS. Fix the condition on substring length: not |Sigma| but |S| for each subset S.

clarify; superdiagonal formula valid for m>=2, not for m=1

fix typo
May 23, 2021 at 7:19 comment added Per Alexandersson Right, that's a conjecture. But also, one can assume no two adjacent letters are equal, which makes the search a bit smaller. I wonder if there is a recursive way to combine two extremal words, to produce one containing all subsets for one letter more. This can be used to create an upper bound at least for T(m)...
May 23, 2021 at 6:37 comment added Jukka Kohonen At least one can, without loss of generality, start with increasing numbers 1,2,... because whenever you pick an unseen letter, it does not matter which unseen letter you pick, so you can as well pick the smallest unseen letter. However there is always also the choice of picking a seen letter again, and I don't know if one can continue in order up to 1,2,...,m ?
May 23, 2021 at 6:32 comment added Jukka Kohonen @Per: True, and also the question is somehow similar to (and different from) de Bruijn sequences, which contain all possible substrings of a given length. But now we are seeking all subsets of the alphabet.
May 23, 2021 at 6:32 comment added Per Alexandersson Also, instead of 12314234, one can take 12343142, so that the extremal word starts with 1,2...m. Perhaps this choice is always possible?

more values, 3rd and 4th diagonals OEIS, easier 1-based alphabet
