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 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Number of 5-polyominoes with n pentagons. A k-polyomino is a non-overlapping union of n regular unit k-gons.
Unlike A051738, these are not anchored polypents but simple polypents. - George Sicherman, Mar 06 2006
Polypents (or 5-polyominoes in Koch and Kurz's terminology) can have holes and this enumeration includes polypents with holes. - George Sicherman, Dec 06 2007

EXAMPLE
a(3)=2 because there are 2 geometrically distinct ways to join 3 regular pentagons edge to edge.
