Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A100822
Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n with k cells in the first column. (A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column).

COMMENTS
Row n has n terms. Rows are circular permutations of the rows of A054115. Column 1 and row sums yield A000142 (the factorial numbers). Column 2 yields A059171.
T(n+1,n)=A007489(n).

FORMULA
T(n, k)=sum((n-j)!, j=1..k) for 1<=k<n; T(n, n)=1.
T(n,k)=T(n-1,k-1)+(n-1)! for k<n; T(n,n)=1.
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
1;
1,1;
2,3,1;
6,8,9,1;
24,30,32,33,1;
T(2,1)=T(2,2)=1 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the horizontal and vertical dominoes, having, respectively, 1 and 2 cells in their first columns.
MAPLE
T:=proc(n, k) if k=n then 1 elif k<n then sum((n-j)!, j=1..k) else 0 fi end: for n from 1 to 10 do seq(T(n, k), k=1..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
