%N Number of achiral triangular n-ominoes (n-iamonds) (holes are allowed).

%C These are the achiral polyominoes of the regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {3,6}. An achiral polyomino is identical to its reflection. This sequence can most readily be calculated by enumerating achiral fixed polyominoes for three situations with a given axis of symmetry: 1) fixed polyominoes with an axis of symmetry composed of cell edges, A364485; 2) fixed polyominoes with a vertical axis of symmetry composed of cell altitudes and a vertex as the highest polyomino point on this axis, A364486; and 3) fixed polyominoes with a vertical axis of symmetry composed of cell altitudes and an edge center as the highest polyomino point on this axis, A364487. Those three sequences include each achiral polyomino exactly twice. - _Robert A. Russell_, Jul 26 2023

%F From _Robert A. Russell_, Jul 27 2023: (Start)

%F a(n) = (A364486(n) + A364487(n)) / 2, n odd.

%F a(n) = (A364485(n/2) + A364486(n) + A364487(n)) / 2, n even.

%F a(n) = 2*A000577(n) - A006534(n) = A006534(n) - 2*A030224(n) = A000577(n) - A030224(n). (End)

%Y Cf. A006534 (oriented), A000577 (unoriented), A030224 (chiral), A001420 (fixed).

%Y Calculation components: A364485, A364486, A364487.

%Y Other tilings: A030227 {4,4}, A030225 {6,3}.
