question

Let

n

be a positive integer. Dominoes are placed on a

2 n \times 2 n

board in such a way that every cell of the board is adjacent to exactly one cell covered by a domino. For each

n

, determine the largest number of dominoes that can be placed in this way. (A domino is a tile of size

2 \times 1

1 \times 2

. Dominoes are placed on the board in such a way that each domino covers exactly two cells of the board, and dominoes do not overlap. Two cells are said to be adjacent if they are different and share a common side.)

Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)

Let n be a positive integer. Dominoes are placed on a 2n×2n board in such a way that every cell of the board is adjacent to exactly one cell covered by a domino. For each n, determine the largest number of dominoes that can be placed in this way.

(A domino is a tile of size 2×1 or 1×2. Dominoes are placed on the board in such a way that each domino covers exactly two cells of the board, and dominoes do not overlap. Two cells are said to be adjacent if they are different and share a common side.)

Original LaTeX notation

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Dominoes are placed on a $2 n \times 2 n$ board in such a way that every cell of the board is adjacent to exactly one cell covered by a domino. For each $n$, determine the largest number of dominoes that can be placed in this way.

(A domino is a tile of size $2 \times 1$ or $1 \times 2$. Dominoes are placed on the board in such a way that each domino covers exactly two cells of the board, and dominoes do not overlap. Two cells are said to be adjacent if they are different and share a common side.)
