COMMENTS
This sequence is to be read as a table:
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...
1, 5, 15, 39, ...
1, 15, 106, ...
1, 39, ...
1, ...
...
This represents the number of simple, closed loops that can be formed on an m x n lattice of dots in such a way that it touches each edge.
This sequence is related to A231829, called b(i,j) by a(i,j) = b(i,j) - 2 * b(i,j-1) + b(i,j-2) - 2 * b(i-1,j) + 4 * b(i-1,j-1) - 2 * b(j-1,j-2) + b(i-2,j) - 2 * b(i-2,j-1) + b(i-2,j-2).
Equivalently, the number of fixed polyominoes without holes that have a width of m and height of n. - Andrew Howroyd, Oct 04 2017

FORMULA
T(m, n) = U(m, n) - 2*U(m, n-1) + U(m, n-2) where U(m, n) = V(m, n) - 2*V(m-1, n) + V(m-2, n) and V(m, n) = A231829(m, n). - Andrew Howroyd, Oct 04 2017
