FORMULA

G.f.=Sum(P(n,t), n=1..infinity), where P[n,t]=2t^n*product(2+sum(t^i, i=1..j), j=1..n-2) [in particular, P[1,t]=t; P[2,t]=2t^2; P[3,t]=2t^3*(2+t), P[4,t]=2t^4*(2+t)(2+t+t^2)].

EXAMPLE

a(2)=2 because the only deco polyominoes of area 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes.

MAPLE

P:=n->2*t^n*product(2+sum(t^i, i=1..j), j=1..n-2): g:=expand(simplify(sum(P(n), n=1..36))): seq(coeff(g, t, n), n=1..32);
