COMMENTS

This is exactly the number of directed column-convex polyominoes

Let A be the Hessenberg n by n matrix defined by: A[1,j]=j mod 2, A[i,i]:=1, A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=5, a(n-3)=coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^(n-4)). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jan 24 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)=binomial(n+3, n-1) + binomial(n, n-1) = binomial(n+3, 4) + binomial(n, 1), n > 0.

a(1)=2, a(2)=7, a(3)=18, a(4)=39, a(5)=75, a(n)=5*a(n-1)- 10*a(n-2)+ 10*a(n-3)-5*a(n-4)+a (n-5) [From Harvey P. Dale, Nov 29 2011]

G.f.: (x^3-3*x^2+3*x-2)/(x-1)^5 [From Harvey P. Dale, Nov 29 2011]
