A367435 Let PG(n) be the graph with one node for each free n-celled polyomino and edges between nodes corresponding to polyominoes that can be obtained from each other by moving one cell, 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 number of edges in PG(n).

Equivalently, there is an edge between two nodes if the corresponding n-celled polyominoes can be obtained from the same (n-1)-celled polyomino by adding one cell.
In the n-omino graph defined in A098891, the intermediate is not required to be a polyomino, so PG(n) is a spanning subgraph of that graph. For n = 5, for example, there is an edge between the V and W pentominoes in the graph in A098891, but not in PG(5).

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.
a(8) is either 45 or 46.

a(8) <= 54, a(9) <= 160.
Apparently, a(n) is close to A365621(n+1) for n <= 8. Is this just a coincidence?

Examples

			For n <= 4, all polyominoes with n-1 cells are needed to obtain all polyominoes with n cells by adding one cell, so a(n) = A000105(n-1).
For n = 5, all but the square tetromino are needed to obtain all pentominoes, so a(5) = A000105(4)-1 = 4.
For n = 6, there are 5 different sets of a(6) = 8 pentominoes that are sufficient to obtain all hexominoes. One of these sets consists of the I, L, N, P, U, V, W, and Y pentominoes. The X pentomino is the only pentomino that does not appear in any of these sets. The I, L, N, and W pentominoes are needed in all such sets.
For n = 7, there are 8 different sets of a(7) = 19 hexominoes that are sufficient to obtain all heptominoes. 14 hexominoes appear in all these sets, 10 appear in none of them.
