a(n) is the number of length n binary sequences in which no symbol occurs exactly once. (The Rosenthal formula takes 2^n for the total number of binary sequences and subtracts n for each sequence of length n with a single 0 or 1.) - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 03 2011
From Ambrosio Valencia-Romero, Mar 08 2022: (Start)
a(n), for n > 1, is the number of pure Nash equilibria in the symmetric n-player two-strategy normal-form unanimity game. Let i be a player in set N = {1, 2, 3, ..., n} and s(i) in set S = {0, 1} be i's strategy. Then i's payoff, u(i), in this game is given by:
u(i) = 1 if s(1) = s(2) = ... = s(n-1) = s(n); otherwise, u(i) = 0.
Only two of the a(n) pure equilibria in this unanimity game are strict: s = <0, 0, ..., 0, 0> and s = <1, 1, ..., 1, 1>; these are the diagonal collective strategies where all actors obtain the payoff u(i) = 1.
The other a(n)-2 pure equilibria are weak and produce an individual payoff of u(i) = 0; these correspond to the collective strategy outcomes where more than one and fewer than n-1 individual strategies differ. For instance, for n = 4, the a(4)-2 = 6 weak pure equilibria are <0, 0, 1, 1>, <0, 1, 0, 1>, <0, 1, 1, 0>, <1, 0, 0, 1>, <1, 0, 1, 0>, and <1, 1, 0, 0>. (End)

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 2^n - 2*n for n <> 2 (cf. A005803). - Rainer Rosenthal, Feb 14 2010.
E.g.f.: e^(2*x) - 2*x*e^x + x^2.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*A060576(k)*A060576(n-k).
G.f. 1 + 2*x^2 - 2*x^3/((2*x - 1)*(x - 1)^2). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 04 2011

EXAMPLE
|
a(4) = 8 because there are 8 sequences on {0,1} such that neither 0 nor 1 occurs exactly once: {0,0,0,0}, {0,0,1,1}, {0,1,0,1}, {0,1,1,0}, {1,0,0,1}, {1,0,1,0}, {1,1,0,0}, {1,1,1,1}. - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 03 2011
