COMMENTS
| a(n)=Sum(k*A123519(n,k),k=0..n).
|
|
|
FORMULA
| a(n)=Sum(2^(k+1)*k*binom(n+k,2k), k=0..n). G.f.=4z(1-z)/(1-4z+z^2)^2.
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(1)=4 because a 2 X 3 grid can be tiled in 3 ways with dominoes: 3 horizontal dominoes, 1 horizontal domino above two adjacent vertical dominoes and 1 horizontal domino below two adjacent vertical dominoes; these have altogether 4 vertical dominoes.
|
|
|
MAPLE
| a:=n->sum(k*2^(k+1)*binomial(n+k, 2*k), k=0..n): seq(a(n), n=1..24);
