COMMENTS

a(4)=A033532(0), a(5)=A033532(1).

a(n) is also the Hosoya index of the n-hypercube graph Q_n - Eric Weisstein, Jul 11 2011

EXAMPLE

Comment from Max Alekseyev, Nov 16 2009: E.g. for n=2, we have

1 matching of size 0 (i.e. the empty matching)

4 matchings of size 1 (i.e. an edge)

2 matchings of size 2 (that are the perfect matchings).

So a(2) = 1 + 4 + 2 = 7, whereas A005271(2) = 2.

CROSSREFS

For perfect matchings see A005271.

For matching polynomials, see A192437.
