Formula

G.f.: A^3(x)/2 - A(x)A(x^2)/2 + 5A^4(x)/8 - A^2(x)A(x^2)/4 - 5A^2(x^2)/8 + A(x^4)/4 + A^5(x)/(1-A(x)) - (A(x)+A(x^2))*A^2(x^2)/(1-A(x^2)), where A(x) is the generating function for rooted identity trees with n nodes (that is, the g.f. of sequence A004111).

Example

0 asymmetric trominoes in 1-space;
1 asymmetric tetromino in 2-space;
4 asymmetric pentominoes in 3-space.
