COMMENTS

Number of 1's in the n X n lower Hessenberg (0,1)-matrix (i.e. the matrix having 1's on or below the superdiagonal and 0's above the superdiagonal).

If a 2-set Y and 2-set Z, having one element in common, are subsets of an n-set X then a(n-2) is the number of 3-subsets of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan Janjic, Oct 03 2007

Number of binary operations which have to be added to Moisil's algebras to obtain algebraic counterparts of n-valued Lukasiewicz logics. See the Wojcicki and Malinowski book, page 31. - Artur Jasinski, Feb 25 2010

Also (n + 1)!(-1)^(n + 1) times the determinant of the n X n matrix given by m(i,j) = i/(i+1) if i=j and otherwise 1. For example, (5+1)! * ((-1)^(5+1)) * Det[{{1/2,1,1,1,1}, {1,2/3,1,1,1}, {1,1,3/4,1,1}, {1,1,1, 4/5,1}, {1,1,1,1,5/6}}] =19 =a(5), and (6+1)! * ((-1)^(6+1)) * Det[{{1/2,1,1,1,1,1}, {1,2/3,1,1,1,1}, {1,1,3/4,1,1,1}, {1,1,1,4/5,1,1}, {1,1,1,1,5/6,1}, {1,1,1,1,1,6/7}}] =26 =a(6). - John M. Campbell, May 20, 2011

FORMULA

G.f.: A(x) = x*(1+x-x^2)/(1-x)^3.

With offset 0, this is C(n+3, 2)-2 = (n^2+5n+2)/2 - Paul Barry, Feb 27 2003

With offset 5, this is C(n, 0)-2C(n, 1)+C(n, 2), the binomial transform of (1, -2, 1, 0, 0, 0, ....). - Paul Barry, Jul 01 2003

Row sums of triangle A131818 - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 27 2007

a(n) = A000217(n+1) - 2. - Omar E. Pol, Apr 23 2008

a(n) = (n(n+3)+2)/2-2. - Omar E. Pol, May 18 2008

a(n) = a(n-1) + n + 1 for n >= 1. a(n) = n * (n-1)/2 + 2n - 1. a(n) = A000217(n-1) + A005408(n-1) = A005843(n-1) + A000124(n-1). [From Jaroslav Krizek, Sep 05 2009]
