%N a(n) = n*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+7)/24.

%C a(n) = number of Dyck (n+2)-paths with exactly 2 rows of peaks. A row of peaks is a maximal sequence of peaks all at the same height and 2 units apart. For example, UDUDUD ( = /\/\/\ ) contains exactly one row of peaks, as does UUUDDD, but UDUUDDUD has three and a(1)=2 counts UDUUDD, UUDDUD. - _David Callan_, Mar 02 2005

%C If X is an n-set and Y a fixed 2-subset of X then a(n-4) is equal to the number of (n-4)-subsets of X intersecting Y. - _Milan Janjic_, Jul 30 2007

%C Let I=I_n be the n X n identity matrix and P=P_n be the incidence matrix of the cycle (1,2,3,...,n). Then, for n>=7, a(n-7) is the number of (0,1) n X n matrices A<=P^(-1)+I+P having exactly two 1's in every row and column with perA=16. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Apr 12 2010

%C Row 2 of the convolution array A213550. - _Clark Kimberling_, Jun 20 2012

%C a(n-1) = risefac(n, 4)/4! - risefac(n, 2)/2! is for n >= 1 also the number of independent components of a symmetric traceless tensor of rank 4 and dimension n. Here risefac is the rising factorial. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Dec 10 2015

%C Consider the array formed by the second polygonal numbers of increasing rank:

%C A000217(-1-n): 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ...

%C A000270(-1-n): 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ...

%C A000326(-1-n): 2, 7, 15, 26, 40, 57, ...

%C A000384(-1-n): 3, 10, 21, 36, 55, 78, ...

%C Then the antidiagonal sums yield this sequence. - _Michael Somos_, Nov 23 2021
