A121579 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n having along the lower contour exactly k reentrant corners, i.e., a vertical step that is followed by a horizontal step (n>=1, k>=0). 2

%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n having along the lower contour exactly k reentrant corners, i.e., a vertical step that is followed by a horizontal step (n>=1, k>=0).

%C A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column.

%C Row n contains ceiling(n/2) terms.

%C Row sums are the factorials (A000142).

%C T(n,0) = A000522(n).

%C T(2n+1,n) = (2n-1)!! = A001147(n) (the double factorials).

%C Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = A002538(n-2) for n >= 3.

%H E. Barcucci, A. Del Lungo and R. Pinzani, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0304-3975(95)00199-9">"Deco" polyominoes, permutations and random generation</a>, Theoretical Computer Science, 159, 1996, 29-42.

%F The row generating polynomials are P(n,t) = Q(n,t,1), where Q(1,t,x) = 1 and Q(n,t,x) = Q(n-1,t,t) + (n-1)xQ(n-1,t,1) for n >= 2.

%e T(2,0)=2 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, having no reentrant corners along the lower contour.
