Number of different permutations of a deck of n cards that can be produced by a single shuffle. [DeSario]
Number of Dyck paths of semilength n having at most one long ascent (i.e., ascent of length at least two). Example: a(4)=12 because among the 14 Dyck paths of semilength 4, the only paths that have more than one long ascent are UUDDUUDD and UUDUUDDD (each with two long ascents). Here U = (1, 1) and D = (1, -1). Also number of ordered trees with n edges having at most one branch node (i.e., vertex of outdegree at least two). - Emeric Deutsch, Feb 22 2004

Number of states in the planning domain FERRY, when n-3 cars are at one of two shores while the (n-2)nd car may be on the ferry or at one of the shores.
If the ferry could board any number of cars (instead of only one), the number of states would form the Pisot sequence P(2,6) (A008776). In addition, if k shores existed, the sequence would form the Pisot sequence P(k,k(k+1)). This corresponds to the BRIEFCASE planning domain.
a(i) is the number of occurrences of the number 1 in all palindromic compositions of n = 2*(i+1). - Silvia Heubach (sheubac(AT)calstatela.edu), Jan 10 2003. E.g., there are 5 palindromic compositions of 6, namely 111111 11211 2112 1221 141, containing a total of 16 1's.
Number of occurrences of 00's in all circular binary words of length n. Example: a(3)=6 because in the circular binary words 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110 and 111 we have a total of 3+1+1+0+1+0+0+0=6 occurrences of 00. a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} k*A119458(n,k). - Emeric Deutsch, May 20 2006
a(n) is the number of permutations on [n] for which the entries of each left factor form a circular subinterval of [n]. A subset I of [n] forms a circular subinterval of [n] if it is an ordinary interval [a,b] or has the form [1,a]-union-[b,n] for 1 <= a < b <= n. For example, (5,4,2) is a left factor of the permutation (5,4,2,1,3) which does not form a circular subinterval of [5] and a(4)=16 counts all 24 permutations of [4] except the eight whose first two entries are 1,3 (in either order) or 2,4. - David Callan, Mar 30 2007
a(n) is the total number of runs in all Boolean (n-1)-strings. For example, the 8 Boolean 3-strings, 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111 have 1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 1 runs respectively. - David Callan, Jul 22 2008

For n>1, a(n) is base at which zero is reached for the function "write f(j) in base j, read as base j+1 and then subtract 1 to give f(j+1)" starting from f(n) = n^2 - 1. - Henry Bottomley, Aug 06 2000

Sequence corresponds also to the maximum chain length of the classic puzzle whereby, under agreed commercial terms, an asset of unringed golden chain, when judiciously fragmented into as few as n pieces and n-1 opened links (through n-1 cuts), might be used to settle debt sequentially, with a golden link covering for unit cost. Here beside the n-1 opened links, the n fragmented pieces have lengths n, 2*n, 4*n, ..., 2^(n-1)*n. For instance, the chain of original length a(5)=159, if segregated by 4 cuts into 5+1+10+1+20+1+40+1+80, may be used to pay sequentially, i.e., a link-cost at a time, for an equivalent cost up to 159 links, to the same creditor. - Lekraj Beedassy, Feb 06 2003

Conjecture: The number of divisors of n^n equals the number of pairwise coprime ordered n-tuples of divisors of n. Confirmed up to n = 30. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(5) = 6 tuples are:
  (1)  (1,1)  (1,1,1)  (1,1,1,1)  (1,1,1,1,1)
       (1,2)  (1,1,3)  (1,1,1,2)  (1,1,1,1,5)
       (2,1)  (1,3,1)  (1,1,1,4)  (1,1,1,5,1)
              (3,1,1)  (1,1,2,1)  (1,1,5,1,1)
                       (1,1,4,1)  (1,5,1,1,1)
                       (1,2,1,1)  (5,1,1,1,1)
