Comments

The polygon prior to dissection will have n*(k-2)+2 sides.

In the Harary, Palmer and Read reference these are the sequences called H.

T(n,k) is the number of oriented polyominoes containing n k-gonal tiles of the hyperbolic regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {k,oo}. Stereographic projections of several of these tilings on the Poincaré disk can be obtained via the Christensson link. For oriented polyominoes, chiral pairs are counted as two. T(n,2) could represent polyominoes of the Euclidean regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {2,oo}; T(n,2) = 1. - Robert A. Russell, Jan 21 2024
