These numbers appear in first column of A155103. - Mats Granvik, Jan 20 2009
Equals row sums of unsigned triangle A158474. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 20 2009
a(n) = (n+2) terms in the sequence (1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) dot (n+2) terms in the sequence (1, 1, 2, 6, 30, 270, ...). Example: a(4) = 4590 = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16) dot (1, 1, 2, 6, 30, 270) = (1 + 1 + 4 + 24 + 240 + 4320). - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 02 2010
a(n) is the right-hand side of the mass formula used to classify Type II Self Dual Binary Linear Codes of length 2(n+1). a(n) is the number of distinct Type II Self Dual Binary Linear codes of length 2(n+1) when 2(n+1) = 0 MOD 8. It is important to note that Type II codes are only possible when the length is a multiple of 8. In short, this sequence only applies to Type II codes when 2(n+1) = 0 MOD 8, else the right hand side of the mass formula is zero. - Nathan J. Russell, Mar 04 2016
This is almost certainly the sequence of number of Carlyle circles needed for the construction of regular polygons using straightedge and compass mentioned on page 107 of DeTemple (1991). - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 05 2021

FORMULA
a(n) = Product_{i=0..n-1} ( 2^i + 1 ).
Asymptotic to C*2^(n*(n-1)/2) where C = A081845 = 4.76846205806274344829979857... = Product_{k>=0} (1 + 1/2^k). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 09 2003
It appears that a(n) = 2^((1/2)*(n - 1)*n) * Product_{k>=0} (1 + 1/(2^k)) / Product_{k>=0} (1 + 1/(2^(n + k))). - Peter Moxey (pmoxey(AT)live.com), Mar 21 2010
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} 2^(n*(n-1)/2) * x^n / Product_{k=0..n} (1 - 2^k*x). - Paul D. Hanna, May 02 2012
a(n) = (a(n-2)^3 + a(n-1) * a(n-3) * (a(n-1) - 2 * a(n-2))) * a(n-1) / (a(n-2)^2 * (a(n-2) - a(n-3))) if n>2. - Michael Somos, Aug 21 2012
0 = a(n)*(+a(n+1) + a(n+2)) + a(n+1)*(-2*a(n+1)) for all n>=0. - Michael Somos, Oct 10 2014
Sum_{k=0..n} 2^k/a(k) = 3-2/a(n) and Sum_{k=0..n} 4^k/a(k) = 9-(4*(1+2^n))/a(n) for n >= 0. - Werner Schulte, Dec 25 2016
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = (1 + x * A(2*x)) / (1 - x). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 06 2020
