For n >= 1, a(n) is the maximal number of pieces that can be obtained by cutting an annulus with n cuts. See illustration. - Robert G. Wilson v
n(n-3)/2 (n >= 3) is the number of diagonals of an n-gon. - Antreas P. Hatzipolakis (xpolakis(AT)otenet.gr)
n(n-3)/2 (n >= 4) is the degree of the third-smallest irreducible presentation of the symmetric group S_n (cf. James and Kerber, Appendix 1).
a(n) is also the multiplicity of the eigenvalue (-2) of the triangle graph Delta(n+1). (See p. 19 in Biggs.) - Felix Goldberg (felixg(AT)tx.technion.ac.il), Nov 25 2001

a(n) is the number of "prime" n-dimensional polyominoes. A "prime" n-polyomino cannot be formed by connecting any other n-polyominoes except for the n-monomino and the n-monomino is not prime. E.g., for n=1, the 1-monomino is the line of length 1 and the only "prime" 1-polyominoes are the lines of length 2 and 3. This refers to "free" n-dimensional polyominoes, i.e., that can be rotated along any axis. - Bryan Jacobs (bryanjj(AT)gmail.com), Apr 01 2005
Solutions to the quadratic equation q(m, r) = (-3 +- sqrt(9 + 8(m - r))) / 2, where m - r is included in a(n). Let t(m) = the triangular number (A000217) less than some number k and r = k - t(m). If k is neither prime nor a power of two and m - r is included in A000096, then m - q(m, r) will produce a value that shares a divisor with k. - Andrew S. Plewe, Jun 18 2005
Sum_{k=2..n+1} 4/(k*(k+1)*(k-1)) = ((n+3)*n)/((n+2)*(n+1)). Numerator(Sum_{k=2..n+1} 4/(k*(k+1)*(k-1))) = (n+3)*n/2. - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 11 2006
Number of rooted trees with n+3 nodes of valence 1, no nodes of valence 2 and exactly two other nodes. I.e., number of planted trees with n+2 leaves and exactly two branch points. - Theo Johnson-Freyd (theojf(AT)berkeley.edu), Jun 10 2007

For a 4 X 4 board the number is 40. The number of positions possible was counted including all mirror images and rotations for all four sides of the board. - Jose Abutal, Nov 19 2013
If k = a(i-1) or k = a(i+1) and n = k + a(i), then C(n, k-1), C(n, k), C(n, k+1) are three consecutive binomial coefficients in arithmetic progression and these are all the solutions. There are no four consecutive binomial coefficients in arithmetic progression. - Michael Somos, Nov 11 2015

Let phi_(D,rho) be the average value of a generic degree D monic polynomial f when evaluated at the roots of the rho-th derivative of f, expressed as a polynomial in the averaged symmetric polynomials in the roots of f. [See the Wojnar et al. link] The "last" term of phi_(D,rho) is a multiple of the product of all roots of f; the coefficient is expressible as a polynomial h_D(N) in N:=D-rho. These polynomials are of the form h_D(N)= ((-1)^D/(D-1)!)*(D-N)*N^chi*g_D(N) where chi = (1 if D is odd, 0 if D is even) and g_D(N) is a monic polynomial of degree (D-2-chi). Then a(n) are the negated coefficients of the next to the highest order term in the polynomials N^chi*g_D(N), starting at D=3. - Gregory Gerard Wojnar, Jul 19 2017

a(n) is the area of a triangle with vertices at (n, n+1), ((n+1)*(n+2)/2, (n+2)*(n+3)/2), ((n+2)^2, (n+3)^2). - J. M. Bergot, Jan 25 2018

Also a(n) = 2nd elementary symmetric function of binomial(n,0), binomial(n,1), ..., binomial(n,n).
Also a(n) = one half the sum of the heights, over all Dyck (n+2)-paths, of the vertices that are at even height and terminate an upstep. For example with n=1, these vertices are indicated by asterisks in the 5 Dyck 3-paths: UU*UDDD, UU*DU*DD, UDUU*DD, UDUDUD, UU*DDUD, yielding a(1)=(2+4+2+0+2)/2=5. - David Callan, Jul 14 2006

For n > 0, a(n-1) is also the number of integer compositions of 2n with nonzero alternating sum, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. These compositions are ranked by A053754 /\ A345921. For example, the a(3-1) = 22 compositions of 6 are:
  (6)  (1,5)  (1,1,4)  (1,1,1,3)  (1,1,1,1,2)

From Stark: "alpha = 0.101101110111101111101111110 ... is irrational. For if alpha were rational, its decimal expansion would be periodic and have a period of length r starting with the k-th digit of the expansion.
"But by the very nature of alpha, there will be blocks of r digits, all 1, in this expansion after the k-th digit and the periodicity would then guarantee that everything after such a block of r digits would also be all ones.
"This contradicts the fact that there will always be zeros occurring after any given point in the expansion of alpha. Hence alpha is irrational."

Numbers that are not triangular (nontriangular numbers).
Also definable as follows: a(1)=2; for n>1, a(n) is smallest integer greater than a(n-1) such that the condition "n and a(a(n)) have opposite parities" can always be satisfied. - Benoit Cloitre and Matthew Vandermast, Mar 10 2003
Record values in A256188 that are greater than 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 26 2015
From Daniel Forgues, Apr 10 2015: (Start)
With n >= 1, k >= 1:
  t(n+k) - k, 1 <= k <= n+k-1, n >= 1;
  t(n+k-1) + n, 1 <= n <= n+k-1, k >= 1;
where t(n+k) = t(n+k-1) + (n+k) is the (n+k)-th triangular number, while the number of compositions of n+k into 2 parts is C(n+k-1, 2-1) = n+k-1, the number of nontriangular numbers between t(n+k-1) and t(n+k), just right!
Related to Hilbert's Infinite Hotel:
0) All rooms, numbered through the positive integers, are full;
1) An infinite number of trains, each containing an infinite number of passengers, arrives: i.e., a 2-D lattice of pairs of positive integers;
2) Move occupant of room m, m >= 1, to room t(m) = m*(m+1)/2, where t(m) is the m-th triangular number;
3) Assign n-th passenger from k-th train to room t(n+k-1) + n, 1 <= n <= n+k-1, k >= 1;
4) Everybody has his or her own room, no room is empty, for m >= 1.
If situation 1 happens again, repeat steps 2 and 3, you're back to 4.

For n >= 1 a(n) is also the number of rooted bicolored unicellular maps of genus 1 on n+2 edges. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Aug 20 2001
a(n) is half the number of (n+2) X 2 Young tableaux with a three horizontal walls between the first and second column. If there is a wall between two cells, the entries may be decreasing; see [Banderier, Wallner 2021], A000984 for one horizontal wall, and A002457 for two. - Michael Wallner, Jan 31 2022
From Robert Coquereaux, Feb 12 2024: (Start)
Call B(p,g) the number of genus g partitions of a set with p elements (genus-dependent Bell number). Up to an appropriate shift the given sequence counts the genus 1 partitions of a set: we have a(n) = B(n+4,1), with a(0)= B(4,1)=1.
When shifted with an offset 4 (i.e., defining b(p)=a(p-4), which starts with 0,0,0,1,10,70, etc., and b(4)=1), the given sequence reads b(p) = (1/( 2^4 3 )) * (1/( (2 p - 1) (2 p - 3))) * (1/(p - 4)!) * (2p)!/p!. In this form it appears as a generalization of Catalan numbers (that indeed count the genus 0 partitions).
Call C[p, [alpha], g] the number of partitions of a set with p elements, of cyclic type [alpha], and of genus g (genus g Faa di Bruno coefficients of type [alpha]). Up to an appropriate shift the given sequence also counts the genus 1 partitions of p=2k into k parts of length 2, which is then called C[2k, [2^k], 1], and we have a(n) = C[2k, [2^k], 1] for k=n+2.
The two previous interpretations of this sequence, leading to a(n) = B(n+4, 1) and to a(n) = C[2(n+2), [2^(n+2)], 1] are not related in any obvious way. (End)

a(n+1) is the number of noncongruent n-dimensional integer-sided simplices with diameter n. - Sascha Kurz, Jul 26 2004
Also, the number of partitions of n into parts each less than n.
Also, the number of distinct types of equation which can be derived from the equation [n,0,0] not including itself. (Ince)
Also, the number of rooted trees on n+1 nodes with height exactly 2.
Also, the number of partitions (of any positive integer) whose sum + length is <= n. Example: a(5) = 6 counts 4, 3, 21, 2, 11, 1. Proof: Given a partition of n other than the all 1s partition, subtract 1 from each part and then drop the zeros. This is a bijection to the partitions with sum + length <= n. - David Callan, Nov 29 2007
Number of graphs with n vertices of treewidth n-2. Reason: The complement of a graph with n vertices and treewidth >= n-2 cannot have P3 or K3 as a subgraph (Chlebı́ková 2002, Theorem 10), so every component of it is a star. - Martín Muñoz, Dec 31 2023

Equivalently, a(n) = (1/2n)[2*3^n/((n+1)(n+2))*binomial(2n,n) +sum_{kValery A. Liskovets, May 27 2006
a(n) ~ 12^n / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(7/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 12 2014
