Gessel showed that their result implies that the number of such polyominoes is $$ \frac{m+n+mn}{m+n}{2m+2n\choose 2m}-\frac{2mn}{m+n}{m+n\choose m}^2. $$ We show that this result can be derived from some binomial coefficients identities related to the generating function of Jacobi polynomials.8 pagesCombinatorics05A15, 05A19The Number of Convex Polyominoes and the Generating Function of Jacobi Polynomialstext
