%N Number of chiral pairs of polyominoes composed of n triangular cells of the hyperbolic regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {3,oo}.

%C A stereographic projection of the {3,oo} tiling on the Poincaré disk can be obtained via the Christensson link. Each member of a chiral pair is a reflection but not a rotation of the other.

%F a(n) = C(2n,2)/(2(n+1)(n+2)) - [2\(n+1)]*C(n,(n+1)/2)/(2n) - [2\n]*C(n,n/2)/(2n+4) + [3\(n-1)]*C((2n+1)/3,(n-1)/3)/(2n+1).

%F a(n) = A001683(n+2) - A000207(n) = (A001683(n+2) - A208355(n-1)) / 2 = A000207(n) - A208355(n-1).
