COMMENTS
Note that for k=4 (polyominoes with square bounding rectangle) these are not the free polyominoes, because Read does not apply the full symmetry group of order 8 to reduce the fixed polyominoes for d_q(n), but only the symmetry group of order 4 (excluding the 90 deg rotations). The free polyominoes with square bounding rectangles are his z_4(n) instead. - R. J. Mathar, May 12 2019

There are T(5,2)=3 out of 12 pentominoes that fill the 4X2 shape: the L, N and Y. The F, T, V, W, X, and Z require both dimensions >= 3; the P and U would fit but not touch all sides; the I requires one dimension of 5. - R. J. Mathar, May 08 2019
