Number of deco polyominoes of height n, consisting only of columns of odd length. A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column.

%F Recurrence relation: a(n)=floor(n/2)(a(n-1)+a(n-2)) for n>=3, a(1)=a(2)=1.

%F D-finite with recurrence +4*a(n) -2*a(n-1) +(-n^2-n+4)*a(n-2) +2*(-n+2)*a(n-3) +(n-2)*(n-3)*a(n-4)=0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 26 2022

%e a(2)=1 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes and only the horizontal one consists only of columns of odd length.
