%e For any Z(d,d), there is a unique tiling therefore the first term of the series is 0. Likewise, there are always two tilings of Z(d+1,d) with a flip between them, therefore the second term of the series is 1.

%Y Cf. A001286 (case where d=1). Cf. A060595 (number of 3-tilings) for terminology. A diagonal of A060638.
