Number of columns of odd length in all deco polyominoes of height n. A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column.

FORMULA
| Recurrence relation: a(n)=n*a[n-1]-d(n-1)+(n-1)!*floor(n/2) for n>=2, a(1)=1, where d(1)=1, d(2)=0, d(2n)=3!+5!+...+(2n-1)!, d(2n+1)=-d(2n).
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(2)=2 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, having 0 and 2 columns of odd length, respectively.

MAPLE
