A Partition-Based Generating Function for Row-Convex Polyominoes

ArXi:2605.03203v1 Announce Type: cross An alternative generating function is proposed to enumerate row-convex polyominoes without internal holes on a discrete grid. The approach is based on integer partitions of the total area, where each partition corresponds to a sequence of row lengths, and the product of all permutations of the parts accounts for all possible horizontal alignments of consecutive rows. Summing over the products yields a formula for the total number of convex polyominoes of a given size.
