COMMENTS

The towers must have a contiguous base of bricks, and each brick must be at least half supported below by another brick. The stacks do not need to be stable.
Conjecture: For n > 1, T(n,2) = A000071(n+2).
A038622(n-1,k) appears to give the number of domino towers consisting of n bricks with a base of k bricks.
The above conjectures can be summarized as follows:
T(2*n + k, n + k) = d_{n}(n + k - 1) for k >= 1 and 0 <= n <= 3, where
d_{0}(m) = 2^(m-1)*2;
d_{1}(m) = 2^(m-3)*(10 + 6*m);
d_{2}(m) = 2^(m-5)*(70 + 43*m + 9*m^2);
d_{3}(m) = 2^(m-7)*(588 + 367*m + 84*m^2 + 9*m^3). (End)
