A236679 Number T(n,k) of equivalence classes of ways of placing k 2 X 2 tiles in an n X n square under all symmetry operations of the square; irregular triangle T(n,k), n>=2, 0<=k<=floor(n/2)^2, read by rows.

Changing the offset from 2 to 1, this is also the sequence: "Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of nonequivalent ways to place k non-attacking kings on an n X n board." (For if each king is represented by a 2 X 2 tile with the king in the upper left corner, the kings do not attack each other.) For example, with offset 1, T(4,3) = 20 because there are 20 nonequivalent ways to place 3 kings on a 4 X 4 chessboard so that no king threatens any other. - Heinrich Ludwig and N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 21 2016
It appears that rows 2n and 2n-1 both contain n^2 + 1 entries. Rotations and reflections of placements are not counted. If they are to be counted, see A193580. - Heinrich Ludwig, Dec 11 2016

Examples

			T(4,2) = 4 because the number of equivalence classes of ways of placing 2 2 X 2 square tiles in a 4 X 4 square under all symmetry operations of the square is 4. The portrayal of an example from each equivalence class is:
._______        _______        _______        _______
| . | . |      | . |___|      | . |   |      |_______|

|_______|      |_______|      |___|___|      |_______|
The first 6 rows of T(n,k) are:
.\ k  0    1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9

Formula

It appears that:
T(n,0) = 1, n>= 2
T(n,1) = (floor((n-2)/2)+1)*(floor((n-2)/2+2))/2, n >= 2
T(c+2*2,2) = A131474(c+1)*(2-1) + A000217(c+1)*floor(2^2/4) + A014409(c+2), 0 <= c < 2, c even
T(c+2*2,2) = A131474(c+1)*(2-1) + A000217(c+1)*floor((2-1)(2-3)/4) + A014409(c+2), 0 <= c < 2, c odd
T(c+2*2,3) = (c+1)(c+2)/2(2*A002623(c-1)*floor((2-c-1)/2) + A131941(c+1)*floor((2-c)/2)) + S(c+1,3c+2,3), 0 <= c < 2 where
S(c+1,3c+2,3) =
A054252(2,3), c = 0
A236679(5,3), c = 1
