A121552 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n and area k (n>=1, k>=1). A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column.

Comments

Row n has 1+n(n-1)/2 terms, the first n-1 being 0's. Row sums are the factorials (A000142). T(n,n)=2^(n-1). Sum(k*T(n,k), k=1..1+n(n-1)/2)=A121553(n).

Programs

Maple

for n from 1 to 8 do P[n]:=sort(expand(simplify(2*t^n*product(2+sum(t^i,i=1..j),j=1..n-2)))) od: for n from 1 to 8 do seq(coeff(P[n],t,j),j=1..n*(n-1)/2+1) od; # yields sequence in triangular form

Formula

The row generating polynomials are P(1,t)=t and P(n,t)=2t^n*product(2+t+t^2+...+t^j, j=1..n-2) for n>=2.
