Comments

The binary coding (as suggested in a post to the SeqFan list by F. T. Adams-Watters) is obtained by summing the powers of 2 corresponding to the numbers covered by the polyomino, when the points of the quarter-plane are numbered by antidiagonals, and the animal is pushed to both borders as to obtain the smallest possible value. See example for further details.

The smallest value for an n-omino is the sum 2^0+...+2^(n-1) = 2^n-1 = A000225(n), and the largest value, obtained for the straight n-omino in y direction, is 2^0+2^2+2^5+...+2^(A000217(n)-1) = A246534(n).

Examples

			Number the points of the first quadrant as follows:
...
9 ...
5 8 ...
2 4 7 ...
0 1 3 6 10 ...
The "empty" 0-omino is represented by the empty sum equal to 0 = a(1).
The monomino is represented by a square on 0, and the binary code 2^0 = 1 = a(2).
The two fixed dominos are ".." and ":", represented by 2^0+2^1 = 3 = a(3) and 2^0+2^2 = 5 = a(4).
The A001168(3) = 6 fixed trominoes are represented by 2^0+2^1+2^3 = 11 (...), 2^0+2^1+2^2 = 7 (:.), 2^0+2^1+2^4 =19 (.:), ..., 2^0+2^2+2^5 = 37; again these 6 values are listed in increasing size as a(5), ..., a(10).
