FORMULA

a(n)=(1/4)(3n-2)(n-1)(n-1)! Rec. rel.: a(n)=(1/2)(3n-4)(n-1)! + (n-1)a(n-1); a(1)=0.

a(n)=(n+2)!*sum((2*k-1)/(k*(k+1)*(k+2)),k=1..n).[From Gary Detlefs, Sep 20 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(2)=1 because the horizontal domino has no cells in the 2nd row and the vertical domino has 1 cell in the 2nd row.

MAPLE

seq((1/4)*(3*n-2)*(n-1)*factorial(n-1), n = 1 .. 18)
