Graded dimension of L''/[L',L''] for the free Lie algebra on 2 generators. Let L be a free Lie algebra with 2 generators graded by the total degree. Set L'=[L,L] and L''=[L',L']. Then a(n) is equal to the dimension of the homogeneous subspace of degree n+2 in the quotient L''/[L',L'']. - Sergei Duzhin (duzhin(AT)pdmi.ras.ru), Mar 15 2004

a(n+3)= A003451(n)+A027656(n) - Yosu Yurramendi (yosu.yurramendi(AT)ehu.es), Aug 07 2008

Also the 2nd Witt transform of A000027. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 08 2008]

Also the number of 3-element subsets of {1,...,n+1} whose elements sum up to an odd integer, i.e. the third column of A159916: e.g. a(3)=2 corresponds to the two subsets {1,2,4} and {2,3,4} of {1,...,4}. [From M. F. Hasler (www.univ-ag.fr/~mhasler), May 01 2009]
