%N Number of ways to tile a 5 X n area with 1 X 1 and 2 X 2 tiles.

%F a(n) = b(1)a(n-1)+b(2)a(n-2)+...+b(n)a(0), where a(0)=a(1)=1 and b(1)=1, b(2)=7, b(n)=F(n+1)of A000045 (Fibonacci numbers) for n>2.

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 7*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) - 3*a(n-4). - Keith Schneider (kschneid(AT)bulldog.unca.edu), Apr 02 2006

%F G.f.: (1-x-x^2)/(1-2*x-7*x^2+2*x^3+3*x^4). [_R. J. Mathar_, Nov 02 2008]

%e a(2)=8 as there is one tiling of a 5 X 2 area with only 1 X 1 tiles, 4 tilings with exactly one 2 X 2 tile and 3 tilings with exactly two 2 X 2 tiles.

%t f[{A_, B_}] := Module[{til = A, basic = B}, {Flatten[Append[til, ListConvolve[A, B]]], AppendTo[basic, 2 Fibonacci[Length[B] + 2]]}]; NumOfTilings[n_] := Nest[f, {{1, 1}, {1, 7}}, n - 2][[1]] NumOfTilings[30]
