FORMULA

Recurrence relation: a(n)=(2n-3)a(n-1)-(n-1)(n-3)a(n-2)+(n-2)!(n*floor(n/2)-(n-2)*floor((n-1)/2)-1); a[1]=1, a[2]=2.

EXAMPLE

a(2)=2 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, having 0 and 2 columns ending at an odd level, respectively.

MAPLE

a[1]:=1: a[2]:=2: for n from 3 to 23 do a[n]:=(2*n-3)*a[n-1]-(n-1)*(n-3)*a[n-2]+(n-2)!*(n*floor(n/2)-(n-2)*floor((n-1)/2)-1) od: seq(a[n], n=1..23);
