COMMENTS

a(n) = number of directed column-convex polyominoes of area n+5 having along the lower contour exactly two reentrant corners. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 21 2003

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(((1-2*x)^3)*(1-x)^2).

a(n)= A055252(n+4, 4). a(n)= sum(a(j), j=0..n-1)+A045889(n), n >= 1.

a(n)=(n^2-n+4)2^(n+1)-7-n - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 21 2003

a(0)=1, a(1)=8, a(2)=39, a(3)=150, a(4)=501, a(n)=8*a(n-1)- 25*a(n-2)+ 38*a(n-3)-28*a(n-4)+8*a(n-5) [From Harvey P. Dale, Nov 07 2011]
