The central Delannoy formula for subdivisions of a 2 × n grid

Let an m×nm\times n grid be the point configuration consisting of the lattice points in an m×nm\times n rectangular grid, and let a subdivision be a subdivision of this point configuration. For n2n\geq 2, denote by Dn1D_{n-1} the (n1)(n-1)th central Delannoy number.

Central Delannoy formula. The number of subdivisions of a 2×n2\times n grid is

2n2Dn1.2^{n-2}D_{n-1}.

The conjecture proposes a closed formula for the total number of subdivisions of a 2×n2\times n grid, extending the small cases computed in the paper. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
