%C Main diagonal of square table A086617 of coefficients, T(n,k), of x^n*y^k in f(x,y) that satisfies f(x,y) = 1/[(1-x)(1-y)] + xy*f(x,y)^2.

%C a(n) is the number of permutations of length 2n which are invariant under the reverse-complement map and have no decreasing subsequences of length 4. - _Eric S. Egge_, Oct 21 2008

%C In 2012, _Zhi-Wei Sun_ proved that for any odd prime p we have the congruence a(1) + ... + a(p-1) == 0 (mod p^2). - _Zhi-Wei Sun_, Aug 22 2013
