FORMULA

a(n)=b(1)a(n-1)+b(2)a(n-2)+...+b(n)a(0), where a(0)=a(1)=1, and b(1)=1, b(2)=7, b(n)=F(n+1)of A000045 (Fibonacci numbers) for n>2

a(n) = 2a(n-1) + 7a(n-2) - 2a(n-3) - 3a(n-4) - Keith Schneider (kschneid(AT)bulldog.unca.edu), Apr 02 2006

EXAMPLE

a(2)=8 as there is one tiling of a 5 X 2 area with only 1 X 1 tiles, 4 tilings with exactly one 2 X 2 tile and 3 tilings with exactly two 2 X 2 tiles.

MATHEMATICA

f[{A_, B_}] := Module[{til = A, basic = B}, {Flatten[Append[til, ListConvolve[A, B]]], AppendTo[basic, 2 Fibonacci[Length[B] + 2]]}]; NumOfTilings[n_] := Nest[f, {{1, 1}, {1, 7}}, n - 2][[1]] NumOfTilings[30]
