FORMULA

Recurrence relation: a(n)=(1+2floor((n-2)/2))a(n-1)-[floor((n-1)/2)floor((n-2)/2)-1]a(n-2) for n>=3, a(1)=1, a(2)=1.

EXAMPLE

a(2)=1 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes and only the horizontal one has all of its columns ending at an odd level.

MAPLE

a[1]:=1: a[2]:=1: for n from 3 to 26 do a[n]:= (1+2*floor((n-2)/2))*a[n-1]-(floor((n-1)/2)*floor((n-2)/2)-1)*a[n-2] od: seq(a[n], n=1..26);
