%N A005773 Number of directed animals of size n (or directed n-ominoes in standard position).
%C A005773 This sequence, with first term a(0) deleted, appears to be determined by the conditions that the diagonal and first superdiagonal of U are {1,1,1,1,...} and {2,3,4,5,...,n+1,...} respectively, where A=LU is the LU factorization of the Hankel matrix A given by [{a(1),a(2),...}, {a(2),a(3),...}, ..., {a(n),a(n+1),...}, ...]. - _John W.

%C A005773 a(n) is the number of permutations on [n] that avoid the patterns 1-23-4 and 1-3-2, where the omission of a dash in a pattern means the permutation entries must be adjacent. Example: a(4) = 13 counts all 14 (Catalan number) (1-3-2)-avoiding permutations on [4] except 1234. - _David Callan_, Jul 22 2008

%C A005773 a(n) is the number of Dyck words of semilength n with no DUUU. For example, a(4) = 14-1 = 13 because there is only one Dyck 4-word containing DUUU, namely UDUUUDDD. - _Eric Rowland_, Apr 21 2009
%C A005773 Inverse binomial transform of A024718. - _Philippe Deléham_, Dec 13 2009

%C A005773 The shifted, signed array belongs to an interpolated family of arrays associated to the Catalan A000108 (t=1), and Riordan, or Motzkin sums A005043 (t=0), with the interpolating (here t=-2) o.g.f. G(x,t) = (1-sqrt(1-4x/(1+(1-t)x)))/2 and inverse o.g.f. Ginv(x,t) = x(1-x)/(1+(t-1)x(1-x)) (A057682). See A091867 for more info on this family. - _Tom Copeland_, Nov 09 2014
%C A005773 Alternatively, this sequence corresponds to the number of positive walks with n steps {-1,0,1} starting at the origin, ending at any altitude, and staying strictly above the x-axis. - _David Nguyen_, Dec 01 2016
