COMMENT

a(n)=Sum(k*A100822(n,k),k=1..n).

REFERENCES

E. Barcucci, A. Del Lungo and R. Pinzani, "Deco" polyominoes, permutations and random generation, Theoretical Computer Science, 159, 1996, 29-42.

FORMULA

a(1)=1, a(n)=a(n-1)+(n-1)!*([1+n(n-1)/2] for n>=2.

a(n)=(1/2)Sum(j!,j=0..n+1) - n!. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 06 2008

EXAMPLE

a(2)=3 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, having, respectively, 2 and 1 cells in their first columns.

MAPLE

a[1]:=1: for n from 2 to 22 do a[n]:=a[n-1]+(n-1)!*(1+n*(n-1)/2) od: seq(a[n], n=1..22);

CROSSREFS

Cf. A100822.
