COMMENTS

Also number of meaningful compositions of the n-th order of the differential operations and Gateaux directional derivative on the space R^8. - Branko Malesevic and Ivana Jovovic (ivana121(AT)EUnet.yu), Jun 21 2007

Also (starting 5,9,...) the number of zig-zag paths from top to bottom of a rectangle of width 10, whose color is that of the top right corner. [From Joseph Myers (jsm(AT)polyomino.org.uk), Dec 23 2008]

Also, number of n-digit terms in A033075 (stated without proof in A033075). - Zak Seidov, Feb 02 2011
