COMMENTS

This sequence gives the number of free polyominoes with symmetry group "R" in Redelmeier's notation. See his Tables 1 and 3, also the column "Rot" in Oliveira e Silva's table.
Polyominoes having this symmetry may have an axis of symmetry that coincides with the centre of a square, the middle of an edge, or a vertex of a square. These subsets are enumerated by A351615, A234008 and A351616 respectively. - John Mason, Feb 17 2022.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = A351615(n) + A234008(n/2) + A351616(n/2) for even n, otherwise a(n) = A351615(n). - John Mason, Feb 17 2022.

EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 0 because the "domino" polyomino has symmetry group of order 4.
For n=3, the three-celled polyomino [ | | ] has group of order 4, and the polyomino
. [ ]
. [ | ]
has only reflective symmetry, so a(3) = 0.
a(4) = 1 because of (in Golomb's notation) the "skew tetromino".
