FORMULA
|
G.f.: (1 - 5x - 6x^2 + 11x^3 + 12x^4 - 4x^5)/(1 - 6x - 5x^2 + 24x^3 + 28x^4 + 6x^5 - 8x^6). [corrected by Jean-François Alcover, Apr 02 2019]

EXAMPLE
|
a(2)=5 because we can reach (2,2) in the following ways:
(0,0),(1,0),(1,1),(2,1),(2,2)
(0,0),(2,0),(2,2)
(0,0),(1,0),(2,0),(2,2)
(0,0),(2,0),(2,1),(2,2)
(0,0),(1,0),(2,0),(2,1),(2,2)
