%N Quarter-squares: floor(n/2)*ceiling(n/2). Equivalently, floor(n^2/4).

%C b(n) = A002620(n+2) = number of multigraphs with loops on 2 nodes with n edges [so g.f. for b(n) is 1/((1-x)^2*(1-x^2))]. Also number of 2-covers of an n-set; also number of 2 X n binary matrices with no zero columns up to row and column permutation - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jun 08, 2000.

%C a(n) is also the maximal number of edges that a triangle-free graph of n vertices can have. For n = 2m the maximum is achieved by the bipartite graph K(m, m), For n = 2m + 1 the maximum is achieved by the bipartite graph K(m, m + 1). - Avi Peretz (njk(AT)netvision.net.il), Mar 18 2001

%C a(n) is the number of arithmetic progressions of 3 terms and any mean which can be extracted from the set of the first n natural numbers (starting from 1). - Santi Spadaro (spados(AT)katamail.com), Jul 13 2001

%C This is also the order dimension of the (strong) Bruhat order on the Coxeter group A_{n-1} (the symmetric group S_n). - Nathan Reading (reading(AT)math.umn.edu), Mar 07 2002

%C Let M_n denotes the n X n matrix m(i,j) = 2 if i = j; m(i, j) = 1 if (i+j) is even; m(i, j) = 0 if i + j is odd, then a(n+2) = det M_n. - _Benoit Cloitre_, Jun 19 2002

%C Sums of pairs of neighboring terms are triangular numbers in increasing order. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 19 2002

%C Also, from the starting position in standard chess, minimum number of captures by pawns of the same color to place n of them on the same file (column). Beyond a(6), the board and number of pieces available for capture are assumed to be extended enough to accomplish this task. - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Sep 17 2002

%C For example, a(2) = 1 and one capture can produce "doubled pawns", a(3) = 2 and two captures is sufficient to produce tripled pawns, etc. (Of course other, uncounted, non-capturing pawn moves are also necessary from the starting position in order to put three or more pawns on a given file.) - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Sep 17 2002

%C Terms are the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of their neighbors alternately. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 17 2002

%C Maximum product of two integers whose sum is n. - _Matthew Vandermast_, Mar 04 2003

%C a(n+1) gives number of non-symmetric partitions of n into at most 3 parts, with zeros used as padding. E.g. a(6) = 12 because we can write 5 = 5 + 0 + 0 = 0 + 5 + 0 = 4 + 1 + 0 = 1 + 4 + 0 = 1 + 0 + 4 = 3 + 2 + 0 = 2 + 3 + 0 = 2 + 0 + 3 = 2 + 2 + 1 = 2 + 1 + 2 = 3 + 1 + 1 = 1 + 3 + 1. - _Jon Perry_, Jul 08 2003

%C a(n-1) gives number of distinct elements greater than 1 of non-symmetric partitions of n into at most 3 parts, with zeros used as padding, appear in the middle. E.g. 5 = 5 + 0 + 0 = 0 + 5 + 0 = 4 + 1 + 0 = 1 + 4 + 0 = 1 + 0 + 4 = 3 + 2 + 0 = 2 + 3 + 0 = 2 + 0 + 3 = 2 + 2 + 1 = 2 + 1 + 2 = 3 + 1 + 1 = 1 + 3 + 1. Of these 050, 140, 320, 230, 221, 131 qualify and a(4) = 6. - _Jon Perry_, Jul 08 2003

%C a(n) gives number of maximal strokes on complete graph K_n, when edges on K_n can be assigned directions in any way. A "stroke" is a locally maximal directed path on a directed graph. Examples: n = 3, two strokes can exist, "x -> y -> z" and " x -> z", so a(3) = 2 . n = 4, four maximal strokes exist, "u -> x -> z" and "u -> y" and "u -> z" and "x -> y -> z", so a(4) = 4. - Yasutoshi Kohmoto (zbi74583(AT)boat.zero.ad.jp), Dec 20, 2003

%C Number of symmetric Dyck paths of semilength n+1 and having three peaks. E.g. a(4) = 4 because we have U*DUUU*DDDU*D, UU*DUU*DDU*DD, UU*DDU*DUU*DD and UUU*DU*DU*DDD, where U = (1, 1), D = (1, -1) and * indicates a peak. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Jan 12 2004

%C Number of valid inequalities of the form j + k < n + 1, where j and k are positive integers, j <= k, n >= 0. Partial sums of A004526 (nonnegative integers repeated: partitions into two parts). - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Feb 27 2004

%C See A092186 for another application.

%C Also, the number of nonisomorphic transversal combinatorial geometries of rank 2. - Alexandr S. Radionov (rasmailru(AT)mail.ru), Jun 02 2004

%C Equals row sums of triangle A122196. [_Gary W. Adamson_, Nov 29 2008]

%C a(n+1) = a(n) + A110654(n). [_Reinhard Zumkeller_, Aug 06 2009]

%C a(n) = (n*n - 2*n + n mod 2)/4 [Ctibor O. Zizka, Nov 23 2009]

%C Also a(n) = C(((n+(n mod 2))/2), 2) + C(((n-(n mod 2))/2), 2) (???) so this is the second diagonal of A061857 and A061866 and all the even-indexed terms are the average of their two neighbors. - _Antti Karttunen_

%C Equals triangle A171608 * ( 1, 2, 3, ...). [_Gary W. Adamson_, Dec 12 2009]

%C a(n) gives the number of nonisomorphic faithful representations of the Symmetric group S_3 of dimension n. Any faithful representation of S_3 must contain at least one copy of the 2-dimensional irrep, along with any combination of the two 1-dimensional irreps. - Andrew Rupinski, Jan 20 2011

%C a(n+2) counts the number of ways to make change for "c" cents, letting n = floor(c/5) to account for the 5-repetitive nature of the task, using only pennies, nickels and dimes (see A187243). - Adam Sasson, Mar 07 2011

%C a(n) belongs to the sequence if and only if a(n) = floor(sqrt(a(n))) * ceiling(sqrt(a(n))), that is, a(n) = k^2 or a(n) = k*(k+1), k >= 0. - _Daniel Forgues_, Apr 17 2011

%C a(n) is the sum of the positive integers < n that have the opposite parity as n.

%C Deleting the first 0 from the sequence results in a sequence b = 0, 1, 2, 4, ... such that b(n) is sum of the positive integers <= n that have the same parity as n. The sequence b(n) is the additive counterpart of the doublefactorial. - _Peter Luschny_, Jul 06 2011

%C Third outer diagonal of Losanitsch's Triangle, A034851. [Fred Daniel Kline, Sep 10 2011]

%C Written as a(1) = 1, a(n) = a(n-1) + ceiling (a(n-1)) this is to ceiling as A002984 is to floor, and as A033638 is to round. [_Jonathan Vos Post_, Oct 8, 2011].

%C a(n-2) counts the number of distinct graphs with n vertices and n regions. - Erik Hasse, Oct 18 2011

%C Construct the n-th row of Pascal's triangle (A007318) from the preceding row, starting with row 0 = 1. a(n) counts the total number of additions required to compute the triangle in this way up to row n; with the restrictions that copying a term does not count as an addition, and that all additions not required by the symmetry of Pascal's triangle are replaced by copying terms. [_Douglas Latimer_, Mar 05 2012]

%C a(n) is the maximum number of covering relations possible in an n-element graded poset. For n = 2m, this bound is achieved for the poset with two sets of m elements, with each point in the "upper" set covering each point in the "lower" set.

%C Alternative statement of Oppermann's conjecture: For n>2, there is at least one prime between a(n) and a(n+1). - _Ivan N. Ianakiev_, May 23 2013

%C For any given prime number, p, there are an infinite number of a(n) divisible by p, with those a(n) occurring in evenly spaced clusters of three as a(n), a(n+1), a(n+2) for a given p. The divisibility of all a(n) by p and the result are given by the following equations, where m >= 1 is the cluster number for that p: a(2m*p)/p = p*m^2 - m; a(2m*p + 1)/p = p*m^2; a(2m*p + 2)/p = p*m^2 + m. The number of a(n) instances between clusters is 2*p - 3. - _Richard R. Forberg_, Jun 09 2013
