COMMENTS

This is the number of ways the points in an m x n grid can be connected to their orthogonal neighbours such that for any pair of points there is precisely one path connecting them

a(n,n) = A007341(n)

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

Also number of domino tilings of the (2m-1) X (2n-1) rectangle with upper left corner removed.  For m=2, n=3 the 15 domino tilings of the 3 X 5 rectangle with upper left corner removed are:

EXAMPLE

a(2,2) = 4, since we must have exactly 3 of the 4 possible connections: if we have all 4 there are multiple paths between points; if we have fewer some points will be isolated from others.

Array begins:

1,   1,      1,         1,           1,              1, ...

1,   4,     15,        56,         209,            780, ...

1,  15,    192,      2415,       30305,         380160, ...

1,  56,   2415,    100352,     4140081,      170537640, ...

1, 209,  30305,   4140081,   557568000,    74795194705, ...

1, 780, 380160, 170537640, 74795194705, 32565539635200, ...

CROSSREFS

Diagonal gives: A007341. Rows and columns 1-6 give: A000012, A001353, A006238, A003696, A003779, A139400.

Sequence in context: A141724 A157211 A176428 * A156599 A155826 A010320

Adjacent sequences:  A116466 A116467 A116468 * A116470 A116471 A116472
