COMMENTS
A Legendrian n-mosaic is an n X n array of the 10 tiles given in Figure 5 of Pezzimenti and Pandey. These tiles represent part of a Legendrian curve in the front projection.
Two knots have the same smooth knot type if and only if they are related by an ambient isotopy.

EXAMPLE
For n = 2, there is only a(2) = 1 smooth knot family with Legendrian representatives realizable on a Legendrian 2-mosaic, namely unknots.
For n = 5, every Legendrian 5-mosaic depicts either an unknot or a trefoil. Since unknots and trefoils are not ambient-isotopic, we have a(5) = 2.
