Consider the ranked poset L(n) of partitions defined in A002846, and take the elements of each node modulo 2, collapsing two equivalent nodes into 1. Then a(n) is the total number of paths of all lengths 0,1,...,n-1 that start at any node in the poset and end at 1^n.
Odd-indexed terms are the partial sums of Catalan numbers: A014138. Even-indexed terms a_{2n} are C_n (the n-th Catalan number) less than the following odd-indexed term.
