The n-omino graph has all A000105(n) free n-ominoes as nodes, and two n-ominoes are joined by an edge if one can be obtained from the other by moving one cell. The intermediate is allowed not to be a connected (n-1)-omino; for example, there is an edge between the V and W pentominoes, but to transform one to the other the central cell must be moved, and the remaining 4 cells is not a tetromino.
A cycle and its reverse are not both counted.
We follow the convention in A003216 that the complete graphs on 1 and 2 nodes have 1 and 0 Hamiltonian cycles, respectively, so that a(1) = a(2) = 1 and a(3) = 0, but it could also be argued that a(1) = a(2) = 0 and/or a(3) = 1.

Examples

			For n = 4, there are a(4) = 2 Hamiltonian cycles in the tetromino graph: I-L-O-S-T-I and I-L-S-O-T-I, using conventional names of the tetrominoes.
For n = 5, one of the a(5) = 16800 Hamiltonian cycles in the pentomino graph is I-L-P-U-V-T-N-W-Z-F-X-Y-I.
See links for an example for n = 6.

Maximum size of a set of free polyominoes with n cells such that no polyomino in the set can be obtained from another by moving one of its cells, where the intermediate (the set of cells remaining when the cell to be moved is detached) is required to be a (connected) polyomino.

a(n) is the domination number of the n-omino graph defined in A098891.
The intermediate (the set of cells remaining when the cell to be moved is detached) does not have to be a connected (n-1)-omino.
a(8) <= 18, a(9) <= 53.
Apparently, a(n) is close to A367441(n-1) for 3 <= n <= 9. Is this just a coincidence?

Examples

			For n <= 3, any one polyomino with n cells is enough to construct the others (if any) by moving one cell, so a(n) = 1.
For n = 4, either the L or the T tetromino suffices to construct the other four, so a(4) = 1.
Below are examples of sets of a(n) polyominoes that are sufficient to construct all other polyominoes with n cells, 5 <= n <= 7:
