Continued fraction expansion of sqrt(2) is 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + ...))).
Inverse binomial transform of Mersenne numbers A000225(n+1) = 2^(n+1) - 1. - Paul Barry, Feb 28 2003
A Chebyshev transform of 2^n: if A(x) is the g.f. of a sequence, map it to ((1-x^2)/(1+x^2))A(x/(1+x^2)). - Paul Barry, Oct 31 2004
An inverse Catalan transform of A068875 under the mapping g(x)->g(x(1-x)). A068875 can be retrieved using the mapping g(x)->g(xc(x)), where c(x) is the g.f. of A000108. A040000 and A068875 may be described as a Catalan pair. - Paul Barry, Nov 14 2004
Sequence of electron arrangement in the 1s 2s and 3s atomic subshells. Cf. A001105, A016825. - Jeremy Gardiner, Dec 19 2004
Binomial transform of A165326. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 16 2009
Let m=2. We observe that a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(m,n-2*k). Then there is a link with A113311 and A115291: it is the same formula with respectively m=3 and m=4. We can generalize this result with the sequence whose g.f. is given by (1+z)^(m-1)/(1-z). - Richard Choulet, Dec 08 2009
With offset 1: number of permutations where |p(i) - p(i+1)| <= 1 for n=1,2,...,n-1. This is the identical permutation and (for n>1) its reversal.
Equals INVERT transform of bar(1, 1, -1, -1, ...).
Eventual period is (2). - Zak Seidov, Mar 05 2011
Also decimal expansion of 11/90. - Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 24 2011
a(n) = 3 - A054977(n); right edge of the triangle in A182579. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 07 2012
With offset 1: minimum cardinality of the range of a periodic sequence with (least) period n. Of course the range's maximum cardinality for a purely periodic sequence with (least) period n is n. - Rick L. Shepherd, Dec 08 2014
With offset 1: n*a(1) + (n-1)*a(2) + ... + 2*a(n-1) + a(n) = n^2. - Warren Breslow, Dec 12 2014
With offset 1: decimal expansion of gamma(4) = 11/9 where gamma(n) = Cp(n)/Cv(n) is the n-th Poisson's constant. For the definition of Cp and Cv see A272002. - Natan Arie Consigli, Sep 11 2016
a(n) equals the number of binary sequences of length n where no two consecutive terms differ. Also equals the number of binary sequences of length n where no two consecutive terms are the same. - David Nacin, May 31 2017
a(n) is the period of the continued fractions for sqrt((n+2)/(n+1)) and sqrt((n+1)/(n+2)). - A.H.M. Smeets, Dec 05 2017
Also, number of self-avoiding walks and coordination sequence for the one-dimensional lattice Z. - Sean A. Irvine, Jul 27 2020
