%N Number of directed animals of size n (or directed n-ominoes in standard position).

%C This sequence, with first term a(0) deleted, appears to be determined by the conditions that the diagonal and first superdiagonal of U are {1,1,1,1,...} and {2,3,4,5,...,n+1,...} respectively, where A=LU is the LU factorization of the Hankel matrix A given by [{a(1),a(2),...}, {a(2),a(3),...}, ..., {a(n),a(n+1),...}, ...]. - _John W. Layman_, Jul 21 2000

%C Also the number of base 3 n-digit numbers (not starting with 0) with digit sum n. For the analogous sequence in base 10 see A071976, see example. - _John W. Layman_, Jun 22 2002

%C Also number of paths in an n X n grid from (0,0) to the line x=n-1, using only steps U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1) (i.e., left factors of length n-1 of Motzkin paths, palindromic Motzkin paths of length 2n-2 or 2n-1). Example: a(3)=5, namely, HH, UD, HU, UH and UU. Also number of ordered trees with n edges and having nonroot nodes of outdegree at most 2. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Aug 01 2002

%C Number of symmetric Dyck paths of semilength 2n-1 with no peaks at even level. Example: a(3)=5 because we have UDUDUDUDUD, UDUUUDDDUD, UUUUUDDDDD, UUUDUDUDDD and UUUDDUUDDD, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1). Also number of symmetric Dyck paths of semilength 2n with no peaks at even level. Example: a(3)=5 because we have UDUDUDUDUDUD, UDUUUDUDDDUD, UUUDUDUDUDDD, UUUUUDUDDDDD and UUUDDDUUUDDD. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Nov 21 2003

%C a(n) is the sum of the (n-1)-st central trinomial coefficient and its predecessor. Example: a(4) = 6 + 7 and (1 + x + x^2)^3 = ... + 6*x^2 + 7*x^3 + ... . - _David Callan_, Feb 07 2004

%C a(n) is the number of UDU-free paths of n upsteps (U) and n downsteps (D) that start U (n>=1). Example: a(2)=2 counts UUDD, UDDU. - _David Callan_, Aug 18 2004

%C a(n) is also the number of Grand-Dyck paths of semilength n starting with an up-step and avoiding the pattern DUD. - _David Bevan_, Nov 19 2019

%C Hankel transform of a(n+1) = [1,2,5,13,35,96,...] gives A000012 = [1,1,1,1,1,1,...]. - _Philippe Deléham_, Oct 24 2007

%C Equals row sums of triangle A136787 starting (1, 2, 5, 13, 35, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jan 21 2008

%C a(n) is the number of permutations on [n] that avoid the patterns 1-23-4 and 1-3-2, where the omission of a dash in a pattern means the permutation entries must be adjacent. Example: a(4) = 13 counts all 14 (Catalan number) (1-3-2)-avoiding permutations on [4] except 1234. - _David Callan_, Jul 22 2008

%C a(n) is also the number of involutions of length 2n-2 which are invariant under the reverse-complement map and have no decreasing subsequences of length 4. - _Eric S. Egge_, Oct 21 2008

%C Hankel transform is A010892. - _Paul Barry_, Jan 19 2009

%C a(n) is the number of Dyck words of semilength n with no DUUU. For example, a(4) = 14-1 = 13 because there is only one Dyck 4-word containing DUUU, namely UDUUUDDD. - _Eric Rowland_, Apr 21 2009

%C Inverse binomial transform of A024718. - _Philippe Deléham_, Dec 13 2009

%C Let w(i, j, n) denote walks in N^2 which satisfy the multivariate recurrence

%C w(i, j, n) = w(i - 1, j, n - 1) + w(i, j - 1, n - 1) + w(i + 1, j - 1,n - 1) with boundary conditions w(0,0,0) = 1 and w(i,j,n) = 0 if i or j or n is < 0. Let alpha(n) the number of such walks of length n, alpha(n) = Sum_{i = 0..n, j=0..n} w(i, j, n). Then a(n+1) = alpha(n). - _Peter Luschny_, May 21 2011

%C Number of length-n strings [d(0),d(1),d(2),...,d(n-1)] where 0 <= d(k) <= k and abs(d(k) - d(k-1)) <= 1 (smooth factorial numbers, see example). - _Joerg Arndt_, Nov 10 2012

%C a(n) is the number of n-multisets of {1,...,n} containing no pair of consecutive integers (e.g., 111, 113, 133, 222, 333 for n=3). - _David Bevan_, Jun 10 2013

%C a(n) is also the number of n-multisets of [n] in which no integer except n occurs exactly once (e.g., 111, 113, 222, 223, 333 for n=3). - _David Bevan_, Nov 19 2019

%C Number of minimax elements in the affine Weyl group of the Lie algebra so(2n+1) or the Lie algebra sp(2n). See Panyushev 2005. Cf. A245455. - _Peter Bala_, Jul 22 2014

%C The shifted, signed array belongs to an interpolated family of arrays associated to the Catalan A000108 (t=1), and Riordan, or Motzkin sums A005043 (t=0), with the interpolating (here t=-2) o.g.f. G(x,t) = (1-sqrt(1-4x/(1+(1-t)x)))/2 and inverse o.g.f. Ginv(x,t) = x(1-x)/(1+(t-1)x(1-x)) (A057682). See A091867 for more info on this family. - _Tom Copeland_, Nov 09 2014

%C Alternatively, this sequence corresponds to the number of positive walks with n steps {-1,0,1} starting at the origin, ending at any altitude, and staying strictly above the x-axis. - _David Nguyen_, Dec 01 2016

%C Let N be a squarefree number with n prime factors: p_1 < p_2 < ... < p_n. Let D be its set of divisors, E the subset of D X D made of the (d_1, d_2) for which, provided that we know which p_i are in d_1, which p_i are in d_2, d_1 <= d_2 is provable without needing to know the numerical values of the p_i. It appears that a(n+1) is the number of (d_1, d_2) in E such that d_1 and d_2 are coprime. - _Luc Rousseau_, Aug 21 2017

%C Number of ordered rooted trees with n non-root nodes and all non-root nodes having outdegrees 1 or 2. - _Andrew Howroyd_, Dec 04 2017

%C a(n) is the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of n where there are A001006(k-1) sorts of part k (see formula by Andrew Howroyd, Dec 04 2017). - _Joerg Arndt_, Jan 26 2024
