Number of linear extensions of the "zig-zag" poset. See ch. 3, prob. 23 of Stanley. - Mitch Harris, Dec 27 2005
Number of increasing 0-1-2 trees on n vertices. - David Callan, Dec 22 2006
Also the number of refinements of partitions. - Heinz-Richard Halder (halder.bichl(AT)t-online.de), Mar 07 2008
The ratio a(n)/n! is also the probability that n numbers x1,x2,...,xn randomly chosen uniformly and independently in [0,1] satisfy x1 > x2 < x3 > x4 < ... xn. - Pietro Majer, Jul 13 2009
For n >= 2, a(n-2) = number of permutations w of an ordered n-set {x_1 < ... x_n} with the following properties: w(1) = x_n, w(n) = x_{n-1}, w(2) > w(n-1), and neither any subword of w, nor its reversal, has the first three properties. The count is unchanged if the third condition is replaced with w(2) < w(n-1). - Jeremy L. Martin, Mar 26 2010
A partition of zigzag permutations of order n+1 by the smallest or the largest, whichever is behind. This partition has the same recurrent relation as increasing 1-2 trees of order n, by induction the bijection follows. - Wenjin Woan, May 06 2011
As can be seen from the asymptotics given in the FORMULA section, one has lim_{n->oo} 2*n*a(n-1)/a(n) = Pi; see A132049/A132050 for the simplified fractions. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 03 2013
a(n+1) is the sum of row n in triangle A008280. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 05 2013
M. Josuat-Verges, J.-C. Novelli and J.-Y. Thibon (2011) give a far-reaching generalization of the bijection between Euler numbers and alternating permutations. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 09 2015
Number of treeshelves avoiding pattern T321. Treeshelves are ordered binary (0-1-2) increasing trees where every child is connected to its parent by a left or a right link, see A278678 for more definitions and examples. - Sergey Kirgizov, Dec 24 2016
Number of sequences (e(1), ..., e(n-1)), 0 <= e(i) < i, such that no three terms are equal. [Theorem 7 of Corteel, Martinez, Savage, and Weselcouch] - Eric M. Schmidt, Jul 17 2017
Number of self-dual edge-labeled trees with n vertices under "mind-body" duality.  Also number of self-dual rooted edge-labeled trees with n vertices.  See my paper linked below. - Nikos Apostolakis, Aug 01 2018
The ratio a(n)/n! is the volume of the convex polyhedron defined as the set of (x_1,...,x_n) in [0,1]^n such that x_i + x_{i+1} <= 1 for every 1 <= i <= n-1; see the solutions by Macdonald and Nelsen to the Amer. Math. Monthly problem referenced below. - Sanjay Ramassamy, Nov 02 2018
Number of total cyclic orders on {0,1,...,n} such that the triple (i-1,i,i+1) is positively oriented for every 1 <= i <= n-1; see my paper on cyclic orders linked below. - Sanjay Ramassamy, Nov 02 2018
The number of binary, rooted, unlabeled histories with n+1 leaves (following the definition of Rosenberg 2006). Also termed Tajima trees, Tajima genealogies, or binary, rooted, unlabeled ranked trees (Palacios et al. 2015). See Disanto & Wiehe (2013) for a proof. - Noah A Rosenberg, Mar 10 2019
From Gus Wiseman, Dec 31 2019: (Start)
Also the number of non-isomorphic balanced reduced multisystems with n + 1 distinct atoms and maximum depth. A balanced reduced multisystem is either a finite multiset, or a multiset partition with at least two parts, not all of which are singletons, of a balanced reduced multisystem. The labeled version is A006472. For example, non-isomorphic representatives of the a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 5 multisystems are (commas elided):
  {1}  {12}  {{1}{23}}  {{{1}}{{2}{34}}}  {{{{1}}}{{{2}}{{3}{45}}}}
                        {{{12}}{{3}{4}}}  {{{{1}}}{{{23}}{{4}{5}}}}
                                          {{{{1}{2}}}{{{3}}{{45}}}}
                                          {{{{1}{23}}}{{{4}}{{5}}}}
                                          {{{{12}}}{{{3}}{{4}{5}}}}
Also the number of balanced reduced multisystems with n + 1 equal atoms and maximum depth. This is possibly the meaning of Heinz-Richard Halder's comment (see also A002846, A213427, A265947). The non-maximum-depth version is A318813. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 5 multisystems are (commas elided):
  {1}  {11}  {{1}{11}}  {{{1}}{{1}{11}}}  {{{{1}}}{{{1}}{{1}{11}}}}
                        {{{11}}{{1}{1}}}  {{{{1}}}{{{11}}{{1}{1}}}}
                                          {{{{1}{1}}}{{{1}}{{11}}}}
                                          {{{{1}{11}}}{{{1}}{{1}}}}
                                          {{{{11}}}{{{1}}{{1}{1}}}}

With s_n denoting the sum of n independent uniformly random numbers chosen from [-1/2,1/2], the probability that the closest integer to s_n is even is exactly 1/2 + a(n)/(2*n!). (See Hambardzumyan et al. 2023, Appendix B.) - Suhail Sherif, Mar 31 2024
The number of permutations of size n+1 that require exactly n passes through a stack (i.e. have reverse-tier n-1) with an algorithm that prioritizes outputting the maximum possible prefix of the identity in a given pass and reverses the remainder of the permutation for prior to the next pass. - Rebecca Smith, Jun 05 2024

E.g.f. A(x) = -log(1-sin(x)), for a(n+1). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 09 2010
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1+x/(1-x-x^2/(1-2*x-3*x^2/(1-3*x-6*x^2/(1-4*x-10*x^2/(1-... -n*x-(n*(n+1)/2)*x^2/(1- ...)))))) (continued fraction). - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 17 2006
E.g.f. A(x) = y satisfies 2y' = 1 + y^2. - Michael Somos, Feb 03 2004
a(n) = P_n(0) + Q_n(0) (see A155100 and A104035), defining Q_{-1} = 0. Cf. A156142.
2*a(n+1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*a(k)*a(n-k).
Asymptotics: a(n) ~ 2^(n+2)*n!/Pi^(n+1). For a proof, see for example Flajolet and Sedgewick.
a(n) = (n-1)*a(n-1) - Sum_{i=2..n-2} (i-1)*E(n-2, n-1-i), where E are the Entringer numbers A008281. - Jon Perry, Jun 09 2003

From Peter Bala, Jan 26 2011: (Start)
a(n) = A(n,i)/(1+i)^(n-1), where i = sqrt(-1) and {A(n,x)}n>=1 = [1,1+x,1+4*x+x^2,1+11*x+11*x^2+x^3,...] denotes the sequence of Eulerian polynomials.
Equivalently, a(n) = i^(n+1)*Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^k*k!*Stirling2(n,k) * ((1+i)/2)^(k-1) = i^(n+1)*Sum_{k = 1..n} (-1)^k*((1+i)/2)^(k-1)* Sum_{j = 0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(k,j)*j^n.
This explicit formula for a(n) can be used to obtain congruence results. For example, for odd prime p, a(p) = (-1)^((p-1)/2) (mod p), as noted by Vladimir Shevelev above.
For the corresponding type B results see A001586. For the corresponding results for plane increasing 0-1-2 trees see A080635.

a(n) = D^(n-1)(1/(1-x)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator sqrt(1-x^2)*d/dx. Cf. A006154. a(n) equals the alternating sum of the nonzero elements of row n-1 of A196776. This leads to a combinatorial interpretation for a(n); for example, a(4*n+2) gives the number of ordered set partitions of 4*n+1 into k odd-sized blocks, k = 1 (mod 4), minus the number of ordered set partitions of 4*n+1 into k odd-sized blocks, k = 3 (mod 4).

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.

A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,2,2,2,1) has no alternating permutations, even though it does have the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2).

			The terms together with their binary indices begin:

First differs from A325534 at a(10) = 25, A325534(10) = 26. The first separable partition without an alternating permutation is (3,2,2,2,1).

A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,3,2,2,2,2,1) has no alternating permutations, even though it has the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,3,2,1,2), (2,3,2,1,2,3,2), and (2,1,2,3,2,3,2).

Original name was: Ascending wiggly sums: number of sums adding to n in which terms alternately increase and decrease.

A composition is up/down if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with an increase. For example, the partition (3,2,2,2,1) has no up/down permutations, even though it does have the anti-run permutation (2,3,2,1,2). - Gus Wiseman, Jan 15 2022

Such a permutation is characterized by being neither a twin (x,x) nor wiggly (A025047, A345192). A sequence is wiggly if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,3,2,2,2,2,1) has no wiggly permutations, even though it has the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,3,2,1,2), (2,3,2,1,2,3,2), and (2,1,2,3,2,3,2).

Differs from A335448 in lacking squares and having 270 etc.
First differs from A345193 in having 270.
Such a permutation is characterized by being neither a twin (x,x) nor wiggly (A025047, A345192). A sequence is wiggly if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,2,2,2,1) has no wiggly permutations, even though it has anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2).
The Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k). This gives a bijective correspondence between positive integers and integer partitions.

			The sequence of terms together with their prime indices begins:
   8: {1,1,1}
  16: {1,1,1,1}
  24: {1,1,1,2}
  27: {2,2,2}
  32: {1,1,1,1,1}
  40: {1,1,1,3}
  48: {1,1,1,1,2}
  54: {1,2,2,2}
  56: {1,1,1,4}
  64: {1,1,1,1,1,1}
  80: {1,1,1,1,3}
  81: {2,2,2,2}
  88: {1,1,1,5}
  96: {1,1,1,1,1,2}
For example, 36 has prime indices (1,1,2,2), which has the two wiggly permutations (1,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,1), so 36 is not in the sequence.
