A121749 Number of deco polyominoes of height n, consisting only of columns of odd length. 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

FORMULA

Recurrence relation: a(n)=floor(n/2)(a(n-1)+a(n-2)) for n>=3, a(1)=a(2)=1.

EXAMPLE

a(2)=1 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes and only the horizontal one consists only of columns of odd length.

MAPLE

a[1]:=1: a[2]:=1: for n from 3 to 26 do a[n]:=floor(n/2)*(a[n-1]+a[n-2]) od: seq(a[n], n=1..26);
