The Number of Snakes in a Box
Christian Barrientos, Sarah Minion · Fundamental Journal of Mathematics and Applications · 2018
Within the class of polyominoes we work on the enumeration of two subfamilies of the family of snake polyominoes: stairs and snakes of height 2. We consider them from a graph theoretical perspective. In the process of enumeration of these graphs, we use classical ideas, as symmetries, and a new approach that connects these snakes with the partitions of integers.
