%N a(n) is the number of suitably connected Legendrian n-mosaics that form a Legendrian knot.

%C A Legendrian n-mosaic is an n X n array of the 10 tiles given in Figure 5 of Pezzimenti and Pandey. These tiles represent part of a Legendrian curve in the front projection. A Legendrian n-mosaic is suitably connected if the connection points of each tile coincide with those of the contiguous tiles.

%e For n = 2 there is exactly a(2) = 1 Legendrian 2-mosaic forming the front projection of a Legendrian knot, namely the Legendrian unknot with maximal Thurston-Bennequin invariant.
