COMMENTS

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 15 2010: (Start)

An elephant sequence, see A175654. For the corner squares four A[5] vectors, with decimal values 58, 154, 178 and 184, lead to this sequence. For the central square these vectors lead to the companion sequence A033484.

(End)

a(n) is also the number of order-preserving partial isometries of an n-chain, i.e., the row sums of A183153 and A183154. - Abdullahi Umar, Dec 28 2010
