COMMENTS

Number of permutations of n+4 which avoid the pattern 132 and have exactly 3 descents. - Mike Zabrocki (zabrocki(AT)mathstat.yorku.ca), Aug 26 2004

Kekule numbers for certain benzenoids. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jun 20 2005

a(n)=number of Dyck n-paths with exactly 4 peaks. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 03 2006

Six-dimensional figurate numbers for a hyperpyramid with pentagonal base. This corresponds to the sum(sum(sum(sum(1+sum(5*n))))) interpretation, see the Munafo webpage. [From Robert Munafo (mrob27(AT)gmail.com), Jun 18 2009]
