%C A006125 The number of domino tilings in A006253, A004003, A006125 is the number of perfect matchings in the relevant graphs. There are results of Jockusch and Ciucu that if a planar graph has a rotational symmetry then the number of perfect matchings is a square or twice a square - this applies to these 3 sequences. - Dan Fux (dan.fux(AT)OpenGaia.com or danfux(AT)OpenGaia.com), Apr 12 2001
%C A006125 Let M_n denotes the n X n matrix with M_n(i,j)=binomial(2i,j); then det(M_n)=a(n+1). - _Benoit Cloitre_, Apr 21 2002
%C A006125 Smallest power of 2 which can be expressed as the product of n distinct numbers (powers of 2), e.g., a(4) = 1024 = 2*4*8*16. Also smallest number which can be expressed as the product of n distinct powers. - _Amarnath Murthy_, Nov 10 2002
%C A006125 The number of binary relations that are both reflexive and symmetric on an n-element set. - Justin Witt (justinmwitt(AT)gmail.com), Jul 12 2005
%C A006125 The number of symmetric binary relations on an (n-1)-element set. - _Peter Kagey_, Feb 13 2021
%C A006125 To win a game, you must flip n+1 heads in a row, where n is the total number of tails flipped so far. Then the probability of winning for the first time after n tails is A005329 / A006125. The probability of having won before n+1 tails is A114604 / A006125. - _Joshua Zucker_, Dec 14 2005

%C A006125 a(n+1) is the number of symmetric binary matrices of size n X n. - _Nathan J. Russell_, Aug 30 2014
%C A006125 Let T_n be the n X n matrix with T_n(i,j) = binomial(2i + j - 3, j-1); then det(T_n) = a(n). - _Tony Foster III_, Aug 30 2018
%C A006125 k^(n*(n-1)/2) is the determinant of n X n matrix T_(i,j) = binomial(k*i + j - 3, j-1), in this case k=2. - _Tony Foster III_, May 12 2019

Also, deleting the first row and any column from B_n results in a matrix with determinant a(n). The matrices B_n have the following property: B_n * [x^n, x^(n-1) * y, x^(n-2) * y^2, ..., y^n]^T = [(x-y)^n, (x-y)^(n-1) * (x+y), (x-y)^(n-2) * (x+y)^2, ..., (x+y)^n]^T. - _Nicolas Nagel_, Jul 02 2019
