%F a(n) = Sum(k*A121298(n,k), k=1..n). [Corrected by _R. J. Mathar_, Sep 18 2007]

%e a(2)=4 because the vertical and the horizontal dominoes have altogether 4 diagonals with slope -1.

%p T:=proc(n,k) if n<=0 or k<=0 then 0 elif n=1 and k=1 then 1 else T(n-1,k-1)+add(T(n-k,j),j=1..k-1)+add(T(n-j,k-1),j=1..k-1) fi end: seq(add(k*T(n,k),k=1..n),n=1..15);
