Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n having k cells in the first two columns (n>=1, k>=1). A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column.

COMMENTS
Row n has 2n-2 terms (n>=2). Row sums are the factorials (A000142). Sum(k*T(n,k), k=0..n)=A121584(n)

FORMULA
The generating polynomial of row n is P(n,t)=Q(n,t,t), where Q(1,t,s)=t and Q(n,t,s)=tQ(n-1,t,s)+(t^n-t)Q(n-1,s,1)/(t-1) for n>=2.
EXAMPLE
T(2,2)=2 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, each having 2 cells in their first two columns.

MAPLE
Q[1]:=t: for n from 2 to 9 do Q[n]:=expand(simplify(t*Q[n-1]+(t^n-t)/(t-1)*subs({t=s, s=1}, Q[n-1]))) od: for n from 1 to 9 do P[n]:=sort(subs(s=t, Q[n])): od: 1; for n from 1 to 9 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j=1..2*n-2) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
