COMMENTS

Partial sums of A002212 (the restricted hexagonal polyominoes with n cells). Number of Schroeder paths (i.e. consisting of steps U=(1,1),D=(1,-1),H=(2,0) and never going below the x-axis) from (0,0) to (2n-2,0), with no peaks at even level. Example: a(3)=5 because among the six Schroeder paths from (0,0) to (4,0) only UUDD has a peak at an even level. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 06 2003

Number of binary trees of weight n where leaves have positive integer weights. Non-commutative Non-associative version of partitions of n. - Michael Somos May 23 2005

Appears also as the number of Euler trees with total weight n (associated with even switching class of matrices of order 2n). - David Garber (garber(AT)hait.ac.il), Sep 19 2005

Number of symmetric hex trees with 2n-1 edges; also number of symmetric hex trees with 2n-2 edges. A hex tree is a rooted tree where each vertex has 0, 1, or 2 children and, when only one child is present, it is either a left child, or a median child, or a right child (name due to an obvious bijection with certain tree-like polyhexes; see the Harary-Read reference). A hex tree is symmetric if it is identical with its reflection in a bisector through the root. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 19 2006

The Hankel transform of [1, 2, 5, 15, 51, 188, ...] is [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...], see A000012 ; the Hankel transform of [2, 5, 15, 51, 188, 731, ...] is [2, 5, 13, 34, 89, ...], see A001519 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Dec 19 2006

a(n) = number of 321-avoiding partitions of [n]. A partition is 321-avoiding if the permutation obtained from its canonical form (entries in each block listed in increasing order and blocks listed in increasing order of their first entries) is 321-avoiding. For example, the only partition of [5] that fails to be 321-avoiding is 15/24/3 because the entries 5,4,3 in the permutation 15243 form a 321 pattern. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 22 2008

a(n) is the number of vertices of the composihedron CK(n). The composihedra are a sequence of convex polytopes

used to define maps of certain homotopy H-spaces. They are cellular quotients of the multiplihedra and cellular covers of the cubes. (End)

a(n) is the number of Motzkin paths of length n-1 in which the (1,0)-steps at level 0 come in 2 colors and those at a higher level come in 3 colors. Example: a(4)=15 because we have 2^3 = 8 paths of shape UHD, 2 paths of shape HUD, 2 paths of shape UDH, and 3 paths of shape UHD; here U=(1,1), H=(1,0), and D=(1,-1). - Emeric Deutsch, May 02 2011

a(n)= hypergeom([1/2, -n], [2], -4), n=0, 1, 2...; Integral representation as n-th moment of a positive function on a finite interval of the positive half-axis: a(n)=int(x^n*sqrt((5-x)/(x-1))/(2*Pi), x=1..5), n=0, 1, 2... This representation is unique. - Karol A. Penson (penson(AT)lptl.jussieu.fr), Sep 24 2001

a(1)=1, a(n)=1+sum(i=1, n-1, a(i)*a(n-i)). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Mar 16 2004

G.f.: (-1+x+(1-6*x+5*x^2)^(1/2))/(2*(-x+x^2)).

G.f. =z*c(z/(1-z))/(1-z) = 1/2 - (1/2)sqrt(1-4z/(1-z)), where c(z)=(1-sqrt(1-4z))/(2z) is the Catalan function (follows from Michael Somos' first comment). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Aug 12 2007
