%N Number of ways to tile an n X n right triangle with squares and dominoes, where vertical dominoes are only allowed in the largest vertical column.

%C This is the third column in A229556.

%F a(n) = Fibonacci(n+1)*a(n-1) + Fibonacci(n)*Fibonacci(n-1)*a(n-2).

%F a(n) = P(n+1) + Sum_{i=2..n} a(i-1)*Fibonacci(i-1)*Fibonacci(n-(i-1))*P(n)/P(i), where P(n) = A003266(n) the product of the first n Fibonacci numbers. - _Greg Dresden_ and _Tianle Tina Yao_, Jul 03 2022

%e Here is one of the 73 tilings for the n=4 case. Note that vertical dominoes are only allowed in the "first" column.
