Number of polyominoes with n cells and exactly one line of reflection symmetry, where that one line is parallel to the grid. - Joshua Zucker, Mar 08 2008
The line of reflective symmetry may pass through the center of a square or a vertex of a square. These subsets are enumerated by A349328 and A349329 respectively. - John Mason, Feb 17 2022

The number of free polyominoes of size 2n that have reflectional symmetry on a horizontal or vertical axis that coincides with the edges of some of the squares. The sequence is defined for 2n rather than n as odd-sized polyominoes cannot have the required symmetry.

This is an extension of the free polyominoes (A000105) to the third dimension. Structures are considered equivalent if they can be mapped into each other by reflection in a vertical plane or rotation around the vertical axis. They are not equivalent if they can only be mapped onto each other by rotation around an axis parallel to the horizontal plane.
From John Mason, Mar 03 2025: (Start)
Equivalently, the sequence enumerates inscribed polyominoes that have a positive integer in each square, such that the size of the polyomino is considered to be the sum of the integers.
Examples.
Size 1:
+-+
|1|
+-+
.
Size 2:
+-+-+ +-+
|1|1| |2|
+-+-+ +-+
.
Size 3:
+-+-+-+ +-+-+ +-+-+ +-+
|1|1|1| |2|1| |1|1| |3|
+-+-+-+ +-+-+ +-+-+ +-+
|1|
+-+
(End)

Examples

			For n = 0, one (the empty) structure is possible.
For n = 1, only one structure is possible, a single cube.
For n = 2, two structures are possible: two cubes one on top of the other, and two next to each other.
For n = 3, four structures are possible: an L shape with the L oriented vertically, an L shape with the L laid flat, a structure with 3 cubes stacked on top of each other and a structure with 3 cubes laid flat.
For n = 4, there are 12 possible distinct structures made from 4 cubes without overhangs. These include 1 structure that is 4 cubes tall, 1 structure that is 3 cubes tall, 5 structures that are 2 cubes tall and 5 that are 1 cube tall.

Formula

From John Mason, Mar 03 2025: (Start)
Define a(n)=f(n)+g(n) where f(n) enumerates the structures having an asymmetrical base, and g(n) enumerates the structures having a symmetrical base.
Then for n>=4, f(n) = Sum_{i=4..n} ((A006749(i)*C(n-1,i-1)), and g(n) < Sum_{i=1..n} ((A259090(i)*C(n-1,i-1)).
For structures having a base with: reflective orthogonal symmetry about an axis that passes through cell vertices, 180 degree rotational symmetry about a point at a cell vertex or midway along an edge, the number of structures is (1) for odd n: Sum_{i=1..n} ((S(i)*C(n-1,i-1)) / 2, and (2) for even n: Sum_{i=1..n} ((S(i)*(C(n-1,i-1)+C(n/2-1,i/2-1)) / 2, for S(n) = A349329(n), A351616(n) and A234008(n) respectively.
As almost all polyominoes are asymmetrical, a(n)/f(n) tends to 1. (End)
