Phalanx-2

There are n castles upon the checkered nxn-sized board, every vertical line having one castle. Let a horizontal line having at least one castle be called a bat. The position on the board will be called a phalanx if:

• the castle standing at the leftmost vertical line, stands also in the lowest horizontal line (and beats it);
• there is no gap between any two castles that separates the castle from the next or previous
• selecting first left k castles we shall get a regular phalanx of the width k.

The drawings below show four positions, two of which - those on the left are phalanxes, and those on the right are not.

Position (c) is not a regular phalanx as the second (unbeaten) horizontal line separates the second and the third castles from the lower horizontal line (condition 2 of the above list is not satisfied).
Position (d) is not a regular phalanx: if we take two left castles, they will not form a regular phalanx (condition 3 of the above list is not satisfied).

Your task is to make a program that will use the specified number n to define the quantity of different arrangements for castles m, that will be phalanxes.
For example, when n=3, it is possible to have only m=5 phalanxes (e1)-(e5)
