2^0 = 1 is the only odd power of 2.
Number of subsets of an n-set.
There are 2^(n-1) compositions (ordered partitions) of n (see for example Riordan). This is the unlabeled analog of the preferential labelings sequence A000670.
This is also the number of weakly unimodal permutations of 1..n + 1, that is, permutations with exactly one local maximum. E.g., a(4) = 16: 12345, 12354, 12453, 12543, 13452, 13542, 14532 and 15432 and their reversals. - Jon Perry, Jul 27 2003 [Proof: see next line! See also A087783.]
Proof: n must appear somewhere and there are 2^(n-1) possible choices for the subset that precedes it. These must appear in increasing order and the rest must follow n in decreasing order. QED. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 26 2003
a(n+1) is the smallest number that is not the sum of any number of (distinct) earlier terms.
Same as Pisot sequences E(1, 2), L(1, 2), P(1, 2), T(1, 2). See A008776 for definitions of Pisot sequences.
With initial 1 omitted, same as Pisot sequences E(2, 4), L(2, 4), P(2, 4), T(2, 4). - David W. Wilson
Not the sum of two or more consecutive numbers. - Lekraj Beedassy, May 14 2004
Least deficient or near-perfect numbers (i.e., n such that sigma(n) = A000203(n) = 2n - 1). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jun 03 2004. [Comment from Max Alekseyev, Jan 26 2005: All the powers of 2 are least deficient numbers but it is not known if there exists a least deficient number that is not a power of 2.]
Almost-perfect numbers referred to as least deficient or slightly defective (Singh 1997) numbers. Does "near-perfect numbers" refer to both almost-perfect numbers (sigma(n) = 2n - 1) and quasi-perfect numbers (sigma(n) = 2n + 1)? There are no known quasi-perfect or least abundant or slightly excessive (Singh 1997) numbers.
The sum of the numbers in the n-th row of Pascal's triangle; the sum of the coefficients of x in the expansion of (x+1)^n.
The Collatz conjecture (the hailstone sequence will eventually reach the number 1, regardless of which positive integer is chosen initially) may be restated as (the hailstone sequence will eventually reach a power of 2, regardless of which positive integer is chosen initially).
The only hailstone sequence which doesn't rebound (except "on the ground"). - Alexandre Wajnberg, Jan 29 2005
With p(n) as the number of integer partitions of n, p(i) is the number of parts of the i-th partition of n, d(i) is the number of different parts of the i-th partition of n, m(i,j) is the multiplicity of the j-th part of the i-th partition of n, one has: a(n) = Sum_{i = 1..p(n)} (p(i)! / (Product_{j=1..d(i)} m(i,j)!)). - Thomas Wieder, May 18 2005
The number of binary relations on an n-element set that are both symmetric and antisymmetric. Also the number of binary relations on an n-element set that are symmetric, antisymmetric and transitive.
The first differences are the sequence itself. - Alexandre Wajnberg and Eric Angelini, Sep 07 2005
a(n) is the largest number with shortest addition chain involving n additions. - David W. Wilson, Apr 23 2006

For n >= 1, a(n) is equal to the number of functions f:{1, 2, ..., n} -> {1, 2} such that for a fixed x in {1, 2, ..., n} and a fixed y in {1, 2} we have f(x) != y. - Aleksandar M. Janjic and Milan Janjic, Mar 27 2007
Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n) is the number of pairs of elements {x,y} of P(A) for which x = y. - Ross La Haye, Jan 09 2008
a(n) is the number of permutations on [n+1] such that every initial segment is an interval of integers. Example: a(3) counts 1234, 2134, 2314, 2341, 3214, 3241, 3421, 4321. The map "p -> ascents of p" is a bijection from these permutations to subsets of [n]. An ascent of a permutation p is a position i such that p(i) < p(i+1). The permutations shown map to 123, 23, 13, 12, 3, 2, 1 and the empty set respectively. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008
2^(n-1) is the largest number having n divisors (in the sense of A077569); A005179(n) is the smallest. - T. D. Noe, Sep 02 2008

A classical transform consists (for general a(n)) in swapping a(2n) and a(2n+1); examples for Jacobsthal A001045 and successive differences: A092808, A094359, A140505. a(n) = A000079 leads to 2, 1, 8, 4, 32, 16, ... = A135520. - Paul Curtz, Jan 05 2009
This is also the (L)-sieve transform of {2, 4, 6, 8, ..., 2n, ...} = A005843. (See A152009 for the definition of the (L)-sieve transform.) - John W. Layman, Jan 23 2009

Permutations of n+1 elements where no element is more than one position right of its original place. For example, there are 4 such permutations of three elements: 123, 132, 213, and 312. The 8 such permutations of four elements are 1234, 1243, 1324, 1423, 2134, 2143, 3124, and 4123. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 24 2009
Catalan transform of A099087. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 29 2009
a(n) written in base 2: 1,10,100,1000,10000,..., i.e., (n+1) times 1, n times 0 (A011557(n)). - Jaroslav Krizek, Aug 02 2009
Or, phi(n) is equal to the number of perfect partitions of n. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Oct 10 2009
These are the 2-smooth numbers, positive integers with no prime factors greater than 2. - Michael B. Porter, Oct 04 2009
A064614(a(n)) = A000244(n) and A064614(m) < A000244(n) for m < a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 08 2010
a(n) is the largest number m such that the number of steps of iterations of {r - (largest divisor d < r)} needed to reach 1 starting at r = m is equal to n. Example (a(5) = 32): 32 - 16 = 16; 16 - 8 = 8; 8 - 4 = 4; 4 - 2 = 2; 2 - 1 = 1; number 32 has 5 steps and is the largest such number. See A105017, A064097, A175125. - Jaroslav Krizek, Feb 15 2010

The first left hand diagonal T(n, 0) = A006125(n + 1), the first right hand diagonal T(n, n) = A036442(n + 1) and the center diagonal T(2*n, n) = A053765(n + 1). Some triangle sums, see A180662, are: Row1(n) = A122743(n), Row2(n) = A181174(n), Fi1(n) = A181175(n), Fi2(2*n) = A181175(2*n) and Fi2(2*n + 1) = 2*A181175(2*n + 1). - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 10 2010

A072219(a(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 20 2014
a(n) is the largest number k such that (k^n-2)/(k-2) is an integer (for n > 1); (k^a(n)+1)/(k+1) is never an integer (for k > 1 and n > 0). - Derek Orr, May 22 2014
If x = A083420(n), y = a(n+1) and z = A087289(n), then x^2 + 2*y^2 = z^2. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 09 2014
The mini-sequence b(n) = least number k > 0 such that 2^k ends in n identical digits is given by {1, 18, 39}. The repeating digits are {2, 4, 8} respectively. Note that these are consecutive powers of 2 (2^1, 2^2, 2^3), and these are the only powers of 2 (2^k, k > 0) that are only one digit. Further, this sequence is finite. The number of n-digit endings for a power of 2 with n or more digits id 4*5^(n-1). Thus, for b(4) to exist, one only needs to check exponents up to 4*5^3 = 500. Since b(4) does not exist, it is clear that no other number will exist. - Derek Orr, Jun 14 2014
The least number k > 0 such that 2^k ends in n consecutive decreasing digits is a 3-number sequence given by {1, 5, 25}. The consecutive decreasing digits are {2, 32, 432}. There are 100 different 3-digit endings for 2^k. There are no k-values such that 2^k ends in '987', '876', '765', '654', '543', '321', or '210'. The k-values for which 2^k ends in '432' are given by 25 mod 100. For k = 25 + 100*x, the digit immediately before the run of '432' is {4, 6, 8, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2, ...} for x = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ...}, respectively. Thus, we see the digit before '432' will never be a 5. So, this sequence is complete. - Derek Orr, Jul 03 2014
a(n) is the number of permutations of length n avoiding both 231 and 321 in the classical sense which are breadth-first search reading words of increasing unary-binary trees. For more details, see the entry for permutations avoiding 231 at A245898. - Manda Riehl, Aug 05 2014
Numbers n such that sigma(n) = sigma(2n) - phi(4n). - Farideh Firoozbakht, Aug 14 2014
This is a B_2 sequence: for i < j, differences a(j) - a(i) are all distinct. Here 2*a(n) < a(n+1) + 1, so a(n) - a(0) < a(n+1) - a(n). - Thomas Ordowski, Sep 23 2014
a(n) counts n-walks (closed) on the graph G(1-vertex; 1-loop, 1-loop). - David Neil McGrath, Dec 11 2014
a(n-1) counts walks (closed) on the graph G(1-vertex; 1-loop, 2-loop, 3-loop, 4-loop, ...). - David Neil McGrath, Jan 01 2015
b(0) = 4; b(n+1) is the smallest number not in the sequence such that b(n+1) - Prod_{i=0..n} b(i) divides b(n+1) - Sum_{i=0..n} b(i). Then b(n) = a(n) for n > 2. - Derek Orr, Jan 15 2015
a(n) counts the permutations of length n+2 whose first element is 2 such that the permutation has exactly one descent. - Ran Pan, Apr 17 2015

Subsequence of A028982 (the squares or twice squares sequence). - Timothy L. Tiffin, Jul 18 2016
A000120(a(n)) = 1. A000265(a(n)) = 1. A000593(a(n)) = 1. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Aug 16 2016
Number of monotone maps f : [0..n] -> [0..n] which are order-increasing (i <= f(i)) and idempotent (f(f(i)) = f(i)). In other words, monads on the n-th ordinal (seen as a posetal category). Any monad f determines a subset of [0..n] that contains n, by considering its set of monad algebras = fixed points { i | f(i) = i }. Conversely, any subset S of [0..n] containing n determines a monad on [0..n], by the function i |-> min { j | i <= j, j in S }. - Noam Zeilberger, Dec 11 2016
Consider n points lying on a circle. Then for n>=2 a(n-2) gives the number of ways to connect two adjacent points with nonintersecting chords. - Anton Zakharov, Dec 31 2016

The multiplicative group of integers modulo a(n) is cyclic if and only if n = 0, 1, 2. For n >= 3, it is a product of two cyclic groups. - Jianing Song, Jun 27 2018

Number of 2-dimensional faces in (n+1)-dimensional hypercube; also number of 4-cycles in the (n+1)-dimensional hypercube. - Henry Bottomley, Apr 14 2000
Also the number of edges in the (n+1)-halved cube graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Jun 21 2017
From Philippe Deléham, Apr 28 2004: a(n) is the sum, over all nonempty subsets E of {1, 2, ..., n}, of all elements of E. E.g., a(3) = 24: the nonempty subsets are {1, 2, 3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1}, {2}, {3} and 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 24.
Equivalently, sum of all nodes (except the last one, equal to n+1) of all integer compositions of n+1. - Olivier Gérard, Oct 22 2011
The inverse binomial transform of a(n-k) for k=-1..4 gives A001844, A000290, A000217(n-1), A002620(n-1), A008805(n-4), A000217 interspersed with 0's. - Michael Somos, Jul 18 2003
Take n points on a finite line. They all move with the same constant speed; they instantaneously change direction when they collide with another; and they fall when they quit the line. a(n-1) is the total number of collisions before falling when the initials directions are the 2^n possible. The mean number of collisions is then n(n-1)/8. E.g., a(1)=0 before any collision is possible. a(2)=1 because there is a collision only if the initials directions are, say, right-left. - Emmanuel Moreau, Feb 11 2006
Also number of pericondensed hexagonal systems with n hexagons. For example, if n=5 then the number of pericondensed hexagonal systems with n hexagons is 24. - Parthasarathy Nambi, Sep 06 2006
If X_1,X_2,...,X_n is a partition of a 2n-set X into 2-blocks then, for n>1, a(n-1) is equal to the number of (n+2)-subsets of X intersecting each X_i (i=1,2,...,n). - Milan Janjic, Jul 21 2007
Number of n-permutations of 3 objects u,v,w, with repetition allowed, containing exactly two u's. Example: a(2)=6 because we have uuw, uuv, uwu, uvu, wuu and vuu. - Zerinvary Lajos, Dec 29 2007
For n>0 where [0]={}, the empty set, and [n]={1,2,...n} a(n) is the number of ways to separate [n-1] into three non-overlapping intervals (allowed to be empty) and then choose a subset from each interval. - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 07 2009
Form an array with m(n,0) = m(0,n) = n^2 and m(i,j) = m(i-1,j-1) + m(i-1,j). Then m(1,n) = A001844(n) and m(n,n) = a(n). - J. M. Bergot, Nov 07 2012
The sum of the number of inversions of all sequences of zeros and ones with length n+1. - Evan M. Bailey, Dec 09 2020
a(n) is the number of strings of length n defined on {0,1,2,3} that contain at most one 2, exactly one 3, and have no restriction on the number of 0s and 1s. For example, a(3)=24 since the strings are 321 (6 of this type), 320 (6 of this type), 310 (6 of this type), 300 (3 of this type) and 311 (3 of this type). - Enrique Navarrete, May 04 2025

Examples

			The nodes of an integer composition are the partial sums of its elements, seen as relative distances between nodes of a 1-dimensional polygon. For a composition of 7 such as 1+2+1+3, the nodes are 0,1,3,4,7. Their sum (without the last node) is 8. The sum of all nodes of all 2^(7-1)=64 integer compositions of 7 is 672.

Let S be a binary relation on the power set P(A) of a set A having n = |A| elements such that for every element x, y of P(A), xSy if x is a subset of y. Then T(n,k) = the number of elements (x,y) of S for which y has exactly k more elements than x. - Ross La Haye, Oct 12 2007
T(n,k) is number of paths in the first quadrant going from (0,0) to (n,k) using only steps B=(1,0) colored blue, R=(1,0) colored red and U=(1,1). Example: T(3,2)=6 because we have BUU, RUU, UBU, URU, UUB and UUR. - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 04 2007

Omitting the first row, this is the production matrix for A039683, where an equivalent differential operator can be found. - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2016
T(n,k) is the number of functions f:[n]->[3] with exactly k elements mapped to 3. Note that there are C(n,k) ways to choose the k elements mapped to 3, and there are 2^(n-k) ways to map the other (n-k) elements to {1,2}. Hence, by summing T(n,k) as k runs from 0 to n, we obtain 3^n = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k). - Dennis P. Walsh, Sep 26 2017
Since this array is the square of the Pascal lower triangular matrix, the row polynomials of this array are obtained as the umbral composition of the row polynomials P_n(x) of the Pascal matrix with themselves. E.g., P_3(P.(x)) = 1 P_3(x) + 3 P_2(x) + 3 P_1(x) + 1 = (x^3 + 3 x^2 + 3 x + 1) + 3 (x^2 + 2 x + 1) + 3 (x + 1) + 1 = x^3 + 6 x^2 + 12 x + 8. - Tom Copeland, Nov 12 2018

The e.g.f. for the row polynomials of the inverse matrix is exp(x*t)*exp(-2x). p iterates of the matrix give the matrix with e.g.f. exp(x*t)*exp(p*2x). The results generalize for 2 replaced by any number. - Tom Copeland, Aug 18 2008
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k = (2+x)^n. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 15 2009
n-th row is obtained by taking pairwise sums of triangle A112857 terms starting from the right. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 06 2012
T(n,n) = 1 and T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + 2*T(n-1,k) for kJon Perry, Oct 11 2012
The e.g.f. for the n-th row is given by umbral composition of the normalized Laguerre polynomials A021009 as p(n,x) = L(n, -L(.,-x))/n! = 2^n L(n, -x/2)/n!. E.g., L(2,x) = 2 -4*x +x^2, so p(2,x)= (1/2)*L(2, -L(.,-x)) = (1/2)*(2*L(0,-x) + 4*L(1,-x) + L(2,-x)) = (1/2)*(2 + 4*(1+x) + (2+4*x+x^2)) = 4 + 4*x + x^2/2. - Tom Copeland, Oct 20 2012
From Tom Copeland, Oct 26 2012: (Start)
From the formalism of A132440 and A218272:
Let P and P^T be the Pascal matrix and its transpose and H= P^2= A038207.
Then with D the derivative operator,
exp(x*z/(1-2*z))/(1-2*z)= exp(2*z D_z z) e^(x*z)= exp(2*D_x (x D_x)) e^(z*x)
= (1 z z^2 z^3 ...) H (1 x x^2/2! x^3/3! ...)^T
= (1 x x^2/2! x^3/3! ...) H^T (1 z z^2 z^3 ...)^T
= Sum_{n>=0} z^n * 2^n Lag_n(-x/2)= exp[z*EF(.,x)], an o.g.f. for the f-vectors (rows) of A038207 where EF(n,x) is an e.g.f. for the n-th f-vector. (Lag_n(x) are the un-normalized Laguerre polynomials.)
Conversely,
exp(z*(2+x))= exp(2D_x) exp(x*z)= exp(2x) exp(x*z)
= (1 x x^2 x^3 ...) H^T (1 z z^2/2! z^3/3! ...)^T
= (1 z z^2/2! z^3/3! ...) H (1 x x^2 x^3 ...)^T
= exp(z*OF(.,x)), an e.g.f for the f-vectors of A038207 where
OF(n,x)= (2+x)^n is an o.g.f. for the n-th f-vector.
(End)
G.f.: R(0)/2, where R(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - (2*k+1+ (1+y))*x/((2*k+2+ (1+y))*x + 1/R(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 09 2013
A038207 = exp[M*B(.,2)] where M = A238385-I and (B(.,x))^n = B(n,x) are the Bell polynomials (cf. A008277). B(n,2) = A001861(n). - Tom Copeland, Apr 17 2014
T = (A007318)^2 = A112857*|A167374| = |A118801|*|A167374| = |A118801*A167374| = |P*A167374*P^(-1)*A167374| = |P*NpdP*A167374|. Cf. A118801. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2016
E.g.f. for the n-th subdiagonal, n = 0,1,2,..., equals exp(x)*P(n,x), where P(n,x) is the polynomial 2^n*Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*x^k/k!. For example, the e.g.f. for the third subdiagonal is exp(x)*(8 + 24*x + 12*x^2 + 4*x^3/3) = 8 + 32*x + 80*x^2/2! + 160*x^3/3! + .... - Peter Bala, Mar 05 2017

Formula

a(n, k) = 0 for n < k. a(n, k) = k!*C(n, k)*2^(n-k) = P(n, k)*2^(n-k) = (2n)!!/((n-k)!*2^k) = k!*A038207(n, k) = A068424*2^(n-k) = Sum[C(n, m)*P(n-m, k), {m, 0, n-k}] = Sum[C(n, n-m)*P(n-m, k), {m, 0, n-k}] = n!*Sum[1/(m!*(n-m-k)!), {m, 0, n-k}] = k!*Sum[C(n, m)*C(n-m, k), {m, 0, n-k}] = k!*Sum[C(n, n-m)*C(n-m, k), {m, 0, n-k}] = k!*C(n, k)*Sum[C(n-k, n-m-k), {m, 0, n-k}] = k!*C(n, k)*Sum[C(n-k, m), {m, 0, n-k}] for n >= k.
a(n, k) = 0 for n < k. a(n, k) = n*a(n-1, k-1) for n >= k >= 1.
E.g.f. (by columns): exp(2x)*x^k.
