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
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
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
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
The number of symmetric binary relations on an (n-1)-element set. - Peter Kagey, Feb 13 2021
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

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
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
Let B_n be the n+1 X n+1 matrix with B_n(i, j) = Sum_{m=max(0, j-i)..min(j, n-i)} (binomial(i, j-m) * binomial(n-i, m) * (-1)^m), 0<=i,j<=n. Then det B_n = a(n+1). 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

This sequence counts labeled graphs on n vertices. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(2) = 8 graph edge sets are:
  {}  {}  {}    {}
          {12}  {12}
                {13}
                {23}
                {12,13}
                {12,23}
                {13,23}
                {12,13,23}
This sequence also counts labeled graphs with loops on n - 1 vertices. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(3) = 8 edge sets are the following. A loop is represented as an edge with two equal vertices.
  {}  {}    {}
      {11}  {11}
            {12}
            {22}
            {11,12}
            {11,22}

For any two consecutive terms (a(n), a(n+1)) = (x,y): x^2 - 4xy + y^2 = -2 = A028872(-1). In general, the following applies to all sequences (t) satisfying t(i) = 4t(i-1) - t(i-2) with t(0) = 1 and two consecutive terms (x,y): x^2 - 4xy + y^2 = A028872(t(1)-2). This includes and interprets the Feb 04 2014 comments here and on A001075 by Colin Barker and the Dec 12 2012 comment on A001353 by Max Alekseyev. By analogy to this, for three consecutive terms (x,y,z) y^2 - xz = A028872(t(1)-2). This includes and interprets the Jul 10 2021 comment on A001353 by Bernd Mulansky.
If (t) is a sequence satisfying t(k) = 3t(k-1) + 3t(k-2) - t(k-3) or t(k) = 4t(k-1) - t(k-2) without regard to initial values and including this sequence itself, then a(n) = (t(k+2n+1) + t(k))/(t(k+n+1) + t(k+n)) always applies, as long as t(k+n+1) + t(k+n) != 0 for integer k and n >= 1. (End)

A099390 is the main entry for domino tilings (or dimer tilings) of a rectangle.
The numbers of domino tilings in A006253, A004003, A006125 give 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
Christine Bessenrodt points out that Pachter (1997) shows that a(n) is divisible by 2^n (cf. A065072).
a(n) is the number of different ways to cover a 2n X 2n lattice with 2n^2 dominoes. John and Sachs show that a(n) = 2^n*B(n)^2, where B(n) == n+1 (mod 32) when n is even and B(n) == (-1)^((n-1)/2)*n (mod 32) when n is odd. - Yong Kong (ykong(AT)curagen.com), May 07 2000

The first recurrence is derived in A359884, "3d-tilings of a 2 X 2 X n box" as a special case of a more general tiling problem: III, example 5.

The example uses two cross section profiles with two overstanding cubes: C (with a common square) and D (with one common edge).

			a(1)=44.
t1,t2,t3 is a tromino standing on 1,2,3 cubes respectively.
1) Two t2-tiles generate a C-profile or a D-profile in 4 ways each.
   C,D-profile: 4,2 rotation images, D-profile: 2 ways for each image.

1,2) There are 12 ways to generate a C-profile. The connection of two C-profiles is a 2 X 2 X 3 cuboid. Starting with a C-profile, there are 4*3*3=36 ways to generate this cuboid.
3) There are 4*2=8 ways to generate the cuboid by starting with a D-profile. Therefore, a(1)=36+8=44.
