COMMENTS

-2, -4, -6, -8, -10, -12, -14, ... are the trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. - Vivek Suri (vsuri(AT)jhu.edu), Jan 24 2008

If a 2-set Y and an (n-2)-set Z are disjoint subsets of an n-set X then a(n-2) is the number of 2-subsets of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Sep 19 2007

A134452(a(n)) = 0; A134451(a(n)) = 2 for n>0. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Oct 27 2007

Omitting the initial zero gives the number of prime divisors with multiplicity of product of terms of n-th row of A077553. - Ray Chandler (rayjchandler(AT)sbcglobal.net), Aug 21 2003

(APSO) Alternating partial sums of

(a-b+c-d+e-f+g...)=(a+b+c+d+e+f+g...)-2*(b+d+f...)

it appears that APSO A005843 =

A052928 = A002378 - 2*(A116471)

A056753(a(n)) = 1. [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Aug 23 2009]

Twice the nonnegative numbers. [From Juri-Stepan Gerasimov (2stepan(AT)rambler.ru), Dec 12 2009]

The number of hydrogen atoms in straight-chain (C(n)H(2n+2)), branched (C(n)H(2n+2), n > 3), and cyclic, n-carbon alkanes (C(n)H(2n), n > 2). [From Paul Muljadi (paulmuljadi(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 18 2010]

For n >= 1; a(n) = the smallest numbers m with the number of steps n of iterations of {r - (smallest prime divisor of r)} needed to reach 0 starting at r = m. See A175126 and A175127. A175126(a(n)) = A175126(A175127(n)) = n. Example (a(4)=8): 8-2=6, 6-2=4, 4-2=2, 2-2=0; iterations has 4 steps and number 8 is the smallest number with such result. [From Jaroslav Krizek (jaroslav.krizek(AT)atlas.cz), Feb 15 2010]

For n >= 1, a(n) = numbers k such that arithmetic mean of the first k positive integers is not integer. A040001(a(n)) > 1. See A145051 and A040001. [From Jaroslav Krizek (jaroslav.krizek(AT)atlas.cz), May 28 2010]

Union of A179082 and A179083. [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Jun 28 2010]

The Hosoya index H(n) of the n-star graph S_n is given by H(2n-1) = 0 and H(2n) = a(n). [From Eric Weisstein, Jul 11 2011]

a(k) is the (Moore lower bound on and the) order of the (k,4)-cage: the smallest k-regular graph having girth four: the complete bipartite graph with k vertices in each part. - Jason Kimberley, Oct 30 2011

For n > 0: A048272(a(n)) <= 0. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 21 2012]

The identity (18n^2+1)^2-(81n^2+9)*(2n)^2=1 can be written as A157889(n)^2-A157888(n)*a(n+1)^2=1. Also, the identity (6n^2-1)^2-(9n^2-3)*(2n)^2=1 can be written as A140811(n+1)^2-A157872(n)*a(n+1)^2=1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 05 2012

The identity (18*n^2-1)^2-(81*n^2-9)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A157910(n)^2-A157909(n)*a(n)^2=1 for n>0. Also, the identity (16*n^2+1)^2-(64*n^2+8)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A108211(n)^2-A158488(n)*a(n)^2 = 1 for n>0. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 08 2012
