A121579 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n having along the lower contour exactly k reentrant corners, i.e. a vertical step that is followed by a horizontal step (n>=1, k>=0). A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column. 2

COMMENTS

Row n contains ceil(n/2) terms. Row sums are the factorials (A000142). T(n,0)=A000522(n). T(2n+1,n)=(2n-1)!!=A001147(n) (the double factorials). Sum(k*T(n,k), k=0..n)=A002538(n-2) for n>=3.

FORMULA

The row generating polynomials are P(n,t)=Q(n,t,1), where Q(1,t,x)=1 and Q(n,t,x)=Q(n-1,t,t)+(n-1)xQ(n-1,t,1) for n>=2.

EXAMPLE

T(2,0)=2 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, having no reentrant corners along the lower contour.

MAPLE

Q[1]:=1: for n from 2 to 13 do Q[n]:=sort(expand(subs(x=t, Q[n-1])+(n-1)*x*subs(x=1, Q[n-1]))) od: for n from 1 to 13 do P[n]:=subs(x=1, Q[n]) od: for n from 1 to 13 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j=0..ceil(n/2)-1) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
