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 A136564). - 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
Equals (1,2,3,4...) convolved with (1,0,3,0,5,...). - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 16 2009
Equals row sums of triangle A177878.
Equals (1/2)*((1, 4, 10, 20, 35, 56,...) + (1, 0, 2 0, 3, 0, 4,...)).

FORMULA
|
l(c, r) = 1/2 C(c+r-3, r) + 1/2 d(c, r), where d(c, r) is C((c + r - 3)/2, r/2) if c is odd and r is even, 0 if c is even and r is odd, C((c + r - 4)/2, r/2) if c is even and r is even, C((c + r - 4)/2, (r - 1)/2) if c is odd and r is odd.
G.f.: (1+x^2)/((1-x)^2*(1-x^2)^2) = (1+x^2) / ((1+x)^2*(x-1)^4) = (1/(1-x)^4 +1/(1-x^2)^2)/2.
a(2n)=(n+1)(2n^2+4n+3)/3, a(2n+1)=(n+1)(n+2)(2n+3)/3. a(-4-n)=-a(n).
From Yosu Yurramendi, Sep 12 2008: (Start)
a(n+1)= a(n) + A008794(n+3) with a(1)=1
a(n)= A027656 (n) + 2*A006918 (n)
a(n+2)= a(n) + A000982 (n+2) with a(1)=1, a(2)=2. (End)
a(n) = 2*a(n-1)+a(n-2)-4*a(n-3)+a(n-4)+2*a(n-5)-a(n-6). - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Dec 05 2008
a(n) = (n^3 + 6*n^2 + 11*n + 6)/12 + ((n+2)/4)[n even] (the bracket means that the second term is added if and only if n is even). - Benoit Jubin, Mar 31 2012
a(n) = (1/12)*n*(n+1)*(n+2) + (1/4)*(n+1)*(1/2)*(1-(-1)^n), with offset 1. - Yosu Yurramendi, Jun 20 2013
a(n) = sum( ceiling(i/2)*round(i/2), i=0..n+1 ) = sum( floor(i/2)^2, i=0..n+2 ). - Bruno Berselli, Aug 30 2013

EXAMPLE
|
a(2)=6 since ( x1*y1, x2*y2, x1*x1+y1*y1, x2*x2+y2*y2, x1*x2+y1*y2, x1*y2+x2*y1 ) are a basis for homogeneous quadratic invariant polynomials.
