A181369 Number of maximal rectangles in all L-convex polyominoes of semiperimeter n. An L-convex polyomino is a convex polyomino where any two cells can be connected by a path internal to the polyomino and which has at most 1 change of direction (i.e., one of the four orientations of the letter L). A maximal rectangle in an L-convex polyomino P is a rectangle included in P that is maximal with respect to inclusion. 1

%N Number of maximal rectangles in all L-convex polyominoes of semiperimeter n. An L-convex polyomino is a convex polyomino where any two cells can be connected by a path internal to the polyomino and which has at most 1 change of direction (i.e., one of the four orientations of the letter L). A maximal rectangle in an L-convex polyomino P is a rectangle included in P that is maximal with respect to inclusion.

%F G.f. = z^2*(1-z)^6/(1-4z+2z^2)^2.

%e a(3)=2 because the L-convex polyominoes of semiperimeter 3 are the horizontal and the vertical dominoes, each containing one maximal rectangle.

%p g := z^2*(1-z)^6/(1-4*z+2*z^2)^2: gser := series(g, z = 0, 32): seq(coeff(gser, z, n), n = 2 .. 28);
