Examples
Triangle begins: 1; 1; 1, 1; 2, 1, 2; 1, 4, 5, 1, 1; 2, 6, 18, 7, 2; 1, 13, 50, 34, 10; 2, 25, 144, 146, 50, 2; 2, 48, 402, 574, 240, 18, 1; 2, 97, 1168, 2142, 1120, 122, 4; 1, 201, 3368, 7813, 4920, 738, 32; 3, 420, 9977, 28010, 20946, 4015, 225, 4; 1, 904, 29856, 99610, 86400, 20221, 1561, 37, 1; ... Illustration for n = 5: The free polyominoes with five cells are also called free pentominoes. For k = 0 there is only one free pentomino having no regions into its bounding box as shown below, so T(5,0) = 1. _ |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| . For k = 1 there are four free pentominoes having only one region into their bounding boxes as shown below, so T(5,1) = 4. _ |_| _ _ _ _ _ |_| |_|_| |_|_| |_| |_|_ |_|_| |_|_ |_|_ _ |_|_| |_| |_|_| |_|_|_| . For k = 2 there are five free pentominoes having two regions into their bounding boxes as shown below, so T(5,2) = 5. _ _ _|_| _|_| _ _ _ _ _ _ |_|_| |_|_| |_|_|_| |_|_ |_|_| |_| |_| |_| |_|_|_ |_|_ |_| |_| |_| |_|_| |_|_| . For k = 3 there is only one free pentomino having three regions into its bounding box as shown below, so T(5,3) = 1. _ _ _|_|_| |_|_| |_| . For k = 4 there is only one free pentomino having four regions into its bounding box as shown below, so T(5,4) = 1. _ _|_|_ |_|_|_| |_| . Therefore the 5th row of the triangle is [1, 4, 5, 1, 1] and the row sums is A000105(5) = 12. .
