COMMENT

The 14 ostomachion pieces and their areas are (following the notation as published in the Bibliotheca Augustana website):

11 triangles: NCO=3, KHT=3, EFQ=6, GCQ=6, BKH=6, ZLF=6, GNC=9, EQG=12, ALZ=12, ABM=12, and BML=12,

2 tetragons: FQCZ=12 and DOCZ=24, and 1 pentagon: LFEHT=21,

the sum of these areas is 144 = 12*12;

p(3*n+1) = p(3*n+2) = 0, as the areas of all pieces are multiples of 3;

a(n) = 0 for n > 48;

a(n) <= a(24)=844 and a(24 - k) = a(24 + k), 0 < k <= 24;

A165272 and A165273 give first differences and partial sums.

EXAMPLE

p(3) = a(1) = #{NCO, KHT} = 2;

p(6) = a(2) = #{EFQ, GCQ, BKH, ZLF, NCO+KHT} = 5;

p(9) = a(3) = #{GNC, EFQ+NCO, EFQ+KHT, GCQ+NCO, GCQ+KHT, BKH+NCO, BKH+KHT, ZLF+NCO, ZLF+KHT} = 9;

p(12) = a(4) = #{EQG, ALZ, ABM, BML, FQCZ, GNC+NCO, GNC+KHT, EFQ+GCQ, EFQ+BKH, EFQ+ZLF, EFQ+NCO+KHT, GCQ+BKH, GCQ+ZLF, GCQ+NCO+KHT, BKH+ZLF, BKH+NCO+KHT, ZLF+NCO+KHT} = 17.
