Alkane (or paraffin) numbers l(6,n).
Dimension of the space of homogeneous degree n polynomials in (x1, y1, x2, y2) invariant under permutation of variables x1<->y1, x2<->y2.
Also multidigraphs with loops on 2 nodes with n arcs (see A138107). - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 27 1999
Euler transform of finite sequence [2,3,0,-1]. - Michael Somos, Mar 17 2004
a(n-2) is the number of plane partitions with trace 2. - Michael Somos, Mar 17 2004
With offset 4, a(n) is the number of bracelets with n beads, 3 of which are red, 1 of which is blue. For odd n, a(n) = C(n-1,3)/2. For even n, a(n) = C(n-1,3)/2 +(n-2)/4. For n >= 6, with K = (n-1)(n-2)/((n-5)(n-4)), for odd n, a(n) = K*a(n-2). For even n, a(n) = K*a(n-2) -(n-2)/(n-5). - Washington Bomfim, Aug 05 2008

Comment from Ctibor O. Zizka, Nov 21 2014: (Start)
With offset 4, a(n) is the number of different patterns of the 2-color 4-partition of n.
P(n)_(k;t) gives the number of different patterns of the t-color, k-partition of n.
P(n)_(k;t) = 1 + Sum(i=2..n) Sum(j=2..i) Sum(r=1..m) c_(i,j)*v_r*F_r(X_1,...,X_i).
P(n;i;j) = Sum(r=1..m) c_(i,j)*v_r*F_r(X_1,...,X_i).
m partition number of i.
c_(i,j) number of different coloring patterns on the r-th form (X_1,...,X_i) of i-partition with j-colors.
v_r number of i-partitions of n of the r-th form (X_1,...,X_i).
F_r(X_1,...,X_i) number of different patterns of the r-th form i-partition of n.
Some simple results:
P(1)_(k;t)=1, P(2)_(k;t)=2, P(3)_(k;t)=4, P(4)_(k;t)=11, etc.
P(n;1;1) = P(n;n;n) = 1 for all n;
P(n;2;2) = floor(n/2) (A004526);
P(n;3;2) = (n*n - 2*n + n mod 2)/4 (A002620).
This sequence is a(n) = P(n;4;2).
2-coloring of 4-partition is (A,B,A,B) or (B,A,B,A).
Each 4-partition of n has one of the form (X_1,X_1,X_1,X_1),(X_1,X_1,X_1,X_2), (X_1,X_1,X_2,X_2),(X_1,X_1,X_2,X_3),(X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4).
The number of forms is m=5 which is the partition number of k=4.
Partition form (X_1,X_1,X_1,X_1) gives 1 pattern ((X_1A,X_1B,X_1A,X_1B), (X_1,X_1,X_1,X_2) gives 2 patterns, (X_1,X_1,X_2,X_2) gives 4 patterns, (X_1,X_1,X_2,X_3) gives 6 patterns and (X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4) gives 12 patterns.
Thus
a(n) = P(n;4;2) = 1*1*v_1 + 1*2*v_2 + 1*4*v_3 + 1*6*v_4 + 1*12*v_5
where v_r is the number of different 4-partitions of the r-th form (X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4) for a given n.
Example:
The 4-partitions of 8 are (2,2,2,2), (1,1,1,5), (1,1,3,3), (1,1,2,4), and (1,2,2,3):
(2,2,2,2) 1 pattern
(1,1,1,5), (1,1,5,1) 2 patterns
(1,1,3,3), (1,3,3,1), (3,1,1,3), (1,3,1,3) 4 patterns
(1,1,2,4), (1,1,4,2), (1,2,1,4), (1,2,4,1), (1,4,1,2), (2,1,1,4) 6 patterns
(2,2,1,3), (2,2,3,1), (2,1,2,3), (2,1,3,2), (2,3,2,1), (1,2,2,3) 6 patterns
Thus a(8) = P(8,4,2) = 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 19.
