%N Numbers k with the property that the symmetric representation of sigma(k) has four parts and its second part is an octagon of width 1 and one of the vertices of the octagon is also the central vertex of the first valley of the largest Dyck path of the diagram.

%C Also the row numbers of the triangle A364639 where the rows are [0, 0, 1, 0, -1, 1] or where the rows start with [0, 0, 1, 0, -1, 1] and the remaining terms are zeros.

%C Observation: the first 29 terms coincide with the first 29 terms of A161345 that are >= 21.

%C Apparently a(n)=A127329(n) for n>2. - _R. J. Mathar_, Sep 05 2023

%e There are four parts (or polygons) and its second part is an octagon of width 1 and one of the vertices of the octagon is also the central vertex of the first valley of the largest Dyck path of the structure so 21 is in the sequence.
