Essentially the same as A001700, which has more information.

Note that the unique rooted tree with no edges has no leaves, so a(0)=1 is by convention. - Michael Somos, Jul 30 2011

Also the number of integer compositions of 2n with alternating (or reverse-alternating) sum 0 (ranked by A344619). This is equivalent to Ran Pan's comment at A001700. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 10 compositions are:

() (11) (22) (33)

(121) (132)

(1111) (231)

(1122)

(1221)

(2112)

(2211)

(11121)

(12111)

For n > 0, a(n) is also the number of integer compositions of 2n with alternating sum 2.

(End)

Number of terms in the expansion of (x_1+x_2+...+x_n)^n. - César Eliud Lozada, Jan 08 2022

The partition (0) of n=0 is included. For n>0 no part 0 appears.

The first (k=0) column gives the number of partitions without odd parts, i.e., those with even parts only. See A035363.

Without the alternating zeros this becomes a triangle with columns given by the rows of the S_n(m) table shown in the Riordan reference.

T(2n+k,k) = the number of partitions of n with parts 1..k of two kinds. If n<=k, then T(2n+k) = A000712(n), the number of partitions of n with parts of two kinds.

T(2n+k) = the convolution of A000041(n) and the number of partitions of n+k having exactly k parts.

T(2n+k) = d(n,k) where d(n,0) = p(n) and d(n,k) = d(n,k-1) + d(n-k,k-1) + d(n-2k,k-1) + ... (End)

From Emeric Deutsch, Oct 04 2016: (Start)

T(n,k) = number of partitions (p1 >= p2 >= p3 >= ...) of n having alternating sum p1 - p2 + p3 - ... = k. Example: T(5,3) = 2 because there are two partitions (3,1,1) and (4,1) of 5 with alternating sum 3.

The equidistribution of the partition statistics "alternating sum" and "total number of odd parts" follows by conjugation. (End)

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is also (-1)^(k-1) times the sum of the even-indexed parts minus the sum of the odd-indexed parts.

Also the number of reversed integer partitions of n with alternating sum k ranging from -n to n in steps of 2.

Also the number of integer partitions of n with (-1)^(m-1) * b = k where m is the greatest part and b is the number of odd parts, with k ranging from -n to n in steps of 2.

a(n) = number of permutations in S_{n+2} containing exactly one 312 pattern. E.g., S_3 has a_1 = 1 permutations containing exactly one 312 pattern, and S_4 has a_2 = 5 permutations containing exactly one 312 pattern, namely 1423, 2413, 3124, 3142, and 4231. This comment is also true if 312 is replaced by any of 132, 213, or 231 (but not 123 or 321, for which see A003517). [Comment revised by N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 26 2022]

Number of dissections of a convex (n+3)-gon by noncrossing diagonals into several regions, exactly n-1 of which are triangular. Example: a(2)=5 because the convex pentagon ABCDE is dissected by any of the diagonals AC, BD, CE, DA, EB into regions containing exactly 1 triangle. - Emeric Deutsch, May 31 2004

Number of jumps in all full binary trees with n+1 internal nodes. In the preorder traversal of a full binary tree, any transition from a node at a deeper level to a node on a strictly higher level is called a jump. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 18 2007

a(n) is the total number of nonempty Dyck subpaths in all Dyck paths (A000108) of semilength n. For example, the Dyck path UUDUUDDD has Dyck subpaths stretching over positions 1-8 (the entire path), 2-3, 2-7, 4-7, 5-6 and so contributes 5 to a(4). - David Callan, Jul 25 2008

a(n+1) is the total number of ascents in the set of all n-permutations avoiding the pattern 132. For example, a(2) = 5 because there are 5 ascents in the set 123, 213, 231, 312, 321. - Cheyne Homberger, Oct 25 2013

Number of increasing tableaux of shape (n+1,n+1) with largest entry 2n+1. An increasing tableau is a semistandard tableau with strictly increasing rows and columns, and set of entries an initial segment of the positive integers. Example: a(2) = 5 counts the five tableaux (124)(235), (123)(245), (124)(345), (134)(245), (123)(245). - Oliver Pechenik, May 02 2014

Also the number of integer compositions of 2n+2 with alternating sum -2, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. For example, the a(3) = 21 compositions are:

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i.

Also the number of reversed integer partitions of n with alternating sum >= 0.

A formula for the reverse-alternating sum of a partition is: (-1)^(k-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where k is the number of parts. So a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n whose conjugate parts are all even or whose length is odd. By conjugation, this is also the number of integer partitions of n whose parts are all even or whose greatest part is odd.

All integer partitions have alternating sum >= 0, so the non-reversed version is A000041.

Is this sequence weakly increasing? In particular, is A344611(n) <= A160786(n)?

Interleaving of A114121 and A032443. Row sums of A116405. Binomial transform is A116409.

Also, for n >= 2, first differences of partial row sums of Pascal's triangle. The first ceiling(n/2)+1 elements of rows n=0 to n=4 in Pascal's triangle are:

1

1 1

1 2

1 3 3

1 4 6

...

The cumulative sums of these partial rows form the sequence 1,3,6,13,24,..., and its first differences are a(2),a(3),a(4),... in this sequence.

(End)

The alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. This is equal to the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, so T(n,k) is the number of integer partitions of n with k odd parts in the conjugate partition, which is also the number of partitions of n with k odd parts.

Also the number of integer partitions of n with odd-indexed parts (odd bisection) summing to k, ceiling(n/2) <= k <= n. The even-indexed version is A346633. - Gus Wiseman, Nov 29 2021

Up to sign, same as A124754.

The reverse-alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i.

The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.

Maps to the number of walks that end above 0 on the number line with steps being 1 or -1. - Benjamin Phillabaum, Mar 06 2011

Chris Godsil observes that a(n) is the independence number of the (n+1)-folded cube graph; proof is by a Cvetkovic's eigenvalue bound to establish an upper bound and a direct construction of the independent set by looking at vertices at an odd (resp., even) distance from a fixed vertex when n is odd (resp., even). - Stan Wagon, Jan 29 2013

Also the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} that contain more odd than even numbers. For example, for n=4, a(4)=5 and the 5 subsets are {1}, {3}, {1,3}, {1,2,3}, {1,3,4}. See A014495 when same number of even and odd numbers. - Enrique Navarrete, Feb 10 2018

This is also the number of integer compositions of n with nonzero alternating sum, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. Also the number of integer compositions of n+1 with alternating sum <= 0, ranked by A345915 (reverse: A345916). - Gus Wiseman, Jul 19 2021

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(k-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where k is the number of parts.

Also the number of reversed integer partitions of 2n with alternating sum 2k.
