%F With z X 1 tiles of k colors on an n X 1 grid (with n >= z), either there is a tile (of any of the k colors) on the first spot, followed by any configuration on the remaining (n-z) X 1 grid, or the first spot is vacant, followed by any configuration on the remaining (n-1) X 1. So T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) + k*T(n-z,k), with T(n,k) = 1 for n=0,1,...,z-1. The solution is T(n,k) = sum_r r^(-n-1)/(1 + z k r^(z-1)) where the sum is over the roots of the polynomial k x^z + x - 1.

%F T(n,k) = sum {s=0..[n/5]} (binomial(n-4*s,s)*k^s).

%F For z X 1 tiles, T(n,k,z) = sum{s=0..[n/z]} (binomial(n-(z-1)*s,s)*k^s). - R. H. Hardin, Jul 31 2011
