Twice the odd numbers, also called singly even numbers.
Numbers having equal numbers of odd and even divisors: A001227(a(n))=A000005(2*a(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 28 2003
Continued fraction for coth(1/2) = (e+1)/(e-1). The continued fraction for tanh(1/2) = (e-1)/(e+1) would be a(0) = 0, a(n) = A016825(n-1), n >= 1.
No solutions to a(n)=b^2-c^2 - Henry Bottomley, Jan 13 2001
Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cuspidal newforms for Gamma_0( 70 ).
Sequence gives n such that 8 is the largest power of 2 dividing A003629(k)^n-1 for any k - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 05 2002
n such that sum(d|n,(-1)^d)=A048272(n)=0 - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 15 2002
Also n such that sum(d|n,phi(d)*mu(n/d))=A007431(n)=0 - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 15 2002
Also n such that sum(d|n,(d/A00005(d))*mu(n/d))=0, n such that sum(d|n,(A00005(d)/d)*mu(n/d))=0 - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 19 2002
Solutions to phi[x]=phi[x/2]; primorial numbers are here. - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu), Dec 16 2002
Together with 1, numbers that are not the leg of a primitive Pythagorean triangle. - Lekraj Beedassy, Nov 25 2003
Maximum number of electrons in an atomic subshell with orbital quantum number l is 2(2l+1) since the magnetic quantum number m goes from -l to +l and the electron spin is either -1/2 or +1/2 for each m.
For n>0: complement of A107750 and A023416(a(n)-1)=A023416(a(n))<>A023416(a(n)+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 23 2005
Also the minimal value of sum([p(i)-p(i+1)]^2, i=1..n+2), where p(n+3)=p(1), as p ranges over all permutations of {1,2,...,n+2} (see the Mihai reference). Example: a(2)=10 because the values of the sum for the permutations of {1,2,3,4}are 10 (8 times), 12 (8 times) and 18 (8 times). - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 30 2005
Except for a(n)=2, numbers having 4 as an anti-divisor. - Alexandre Wajnberg, Oct 02 2005
This is also the number of polyacenes in carbon nanotubes. See page 413 equation 12 of the paper by I. Lukovits and D. Janezic. - Parthasarathy Nambi, Aug 22 2006
A139391(a(n)) = A006370(a(n)) = A005408(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 17 2008
Also a(n) = (n-1) + n + (n+1) + (n+2), so a(n) and -a(n) are all the integers that are sums of four consecutive integers. [From Rick L. Shepherd, Mar 21 2009]
(e-1)/(e+1) = tanh(1/2) [From Harry J. Smith, May 09 2009]
The denominator in pi/8 = (1/2)-(1/6)+(1/10)-(1/14)+(1/18)-(1/22)+.... - Mohammad K. Azarian, Oct 13 2011
A080736(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 11 2012
A007814(a(n)) = 1; A037227(a(n)) = 3. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 30 2012
A214546(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 20 2012
Also, for a(n)>=6, the orders of the dihedral groups D_{2n+1} which are Frobenius groups. See A178498. [From Bernard Schott, Dec 21 2012]
