COMMENTS
Collection: 2*n*(n+1)-ominoes.
Number of squares (all sizes): (8*n^3 + 24*n^2 + 22*n - 3*(-1)^n + 3)/12.
Number of rectangles (all sizes): (8*n^4 + 24*n^3 + 22*n^2 + 3*(-1)^n - 3)/12.
FORMULA
G.f.: x*(x + 3)^2/(1 - x)^5.
E.g.f.: (1/6)*exp(x)*x*(54 + 99*x + 40*x^2 + 4*x^3). - Stefano Spezia, Jan 01 2020
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5).
a(n) = n*(n + 1)*(4*n^2 + 12*n + 11)/6.
a(n) = 4*A000332(n+3) + A212523(n+1).
a(n) = 9*A000332(n+3) + 6*A000332(n+2) + A000332(n+1). - Mircea Dan Rus, Aug 26 2020
a(n) = 3*A004320(n) + A004320(n-1). - Mircea Dan Rus, Aug 26 2020
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 4*1+5 = 9; a(2) = 4*5+31 = 51; a(3) = 4*15 + 106 = 166; a(4) = 4*36 + 270 = 410.
