COMMENTS

Kreweras calls this the complexity of the n X n grid.

a(n) = 2^(n^2-1) / n^2 * product_{n1=0..n-1, n2=0..n-1, n1 and n2 not both 0} (2 - cos(PI*n1/n) - cos(PI*n2/n) ). - Sharon Sela (sharonsela(AT)hotmail.com), Jun 04 2002

a(n)= number of perfect mazes made from a grid of n-by-n cells. - Leroy Quet Sep 08 2007

Also number of domino tilings of the (2n-1) X (2n-1) square with upper left corner removed.  For n=2 the 4 domino tilings of the 3 X 3 square with upper left corner removed are:
