COMMENTS
It is related to the sequence A180998 by R. H. Hardin.
In other words, a(n) is the number of independent vertex sets in the graph with n^2 vertices of the double wedge shown in the example. Neighbors are just the nearest horizontal and vertical points. The corresponding sequence for a single wedge of height n is given by A180998(n+2). - Andrew Howroyd, Apr 28 2020

FORMULA
The sequence was generated from a product of binary rectangular matrices
S(i), where initial values are S(1)= (11) with A(1) = 1 1, and subsequent
1 0
values S(n+1) = (A(n)S(n)T ) where A(n+1)= A(n)S(n)T
S(n)0(n)
Then the vector vector product V(n)V(n)T (where T denotes transpose) gives the sequence where V(n)= S(1)S(2)......S(n). The sum of the elements of V(n) gives sequence A180998.
