COMMENTS
A 5-pillow is a generalized Aztec pillow. The 5-pillow of order n is a rotationally-symmetric region. It has a 2 X 2n central band of squares and then steps up from this band with steps of 5 horizontal squares to every 1 vertical square and steps down with steps of 1 horizontal square to every 1 vertical square.
Plotting A112838(n+2)/A112838(n) gives an intriguing damped sine curve.

EXAMPLE
The number of domino tilings of the 5-pillow of order 6 is 1666=7^2*34. A112838(n)=34.
CROSSREFS
A112833 breaks down as A112834^2 times A112835, where A112835 is not necessarily squarefree.
