Comments

The sequence refers to those polyominoes having reflective symmetry on both diagonals, consequent 180-degree rotational symmetry, but without 90-degree rotational symmetry. Such polyominoes with rotational symmetry symmetry centered about square centers and vertices are enumerated by A351159 and A351160 respectively. - John Mason, Feb 17 2022

Examples

			For a(7)=1, the heptomino with exactly fourfold symmetry and axes of symmetry parallel to the diagonals of the cells is composed of two 2 X 2 squares with one cell in common. For a(8)=1, the octomino is composed of a 2 X 2 square and the four cells adjacent to two nonadjacent cells of that square.

Formula

a(n) = A351159(n) + A351160(n/2) for even n, otherwise a(n) = A351159(n). - John Mason, Feb 17 2022
