COMMENTS

Also the number of binary normal polynomials of degree n. [Joerg Arndt, Nov 28 2004]

Also the number of spanning trees (more precisely, the absolute value of a maximal minor of the Laplacian matrix) of the directed graph G_n with n nodes {0..n-1} and edges from each i to 2i (mod n) and to 2i+1 (mod n). This gives a connection to sandpile groups. The bijection between this and the original description can be obtained by noticing that the line graph of G_n is isomorphic to the graph G_2n (i.e. the graph in the original description of the sequence), thus relating the Hamiltonian cycles in G_2n and the Eulerian cycles in G_n. Finally, the latter are in bijection with directed spanning trees, rooted at a fixed vertex, in G_n by BEST Theorem (see the wikipedia article on it). [Dmitrii V. Pasechnik, Aug 14 and Nov 13 2011]

Also the number of invertible n x n circulant matrices over GF(2), divided by n. [Joerg Arndt, Aug 15 2011]
