Let G_n be the elementary Abelian group G_n = (C_2)^n for n >= 1: A006516 is the number of times the number -1 appears in the character table of G_n and A007582 is the number of times the number 1. Together the two sequences cover all the values in the table, i.e., A006516(n) + A007582(n) = 2^(2n). - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Jun 01 2001

Number of walks of length 2n+1 between two adjacent vertices in the cycle graph C_8. Example: a(1)=3 because in the cycle ABCDEFGH we have three walks of length 3 between A and B: ABAB, ABCB and AHAB. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 01 2004

Smallest number containing in its binary representation two equal non-overlapping subwords of length n: A097295(a(n))=n and A097295(m)Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 04 2004

a(n)^2 + (A006516(n))^2 = a(2n). E.g., a(3) = 36, A006516(3) = 28, a(6) = 2080. 36^2 + 28^2 = 2080. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 17 2006

Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n) = the number of pairs of elements {x,y} of P(A) for which either x equals y or x does not equal y. - Ross La Haye, Jan 02 2008

Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n) = the number of pairs of elements {x,y} of P(A). This is just a simpler statement of my previous comment for this sequence. - Ross La Haye, Jan 10 2008

For n>0: A000120(a(n))=2, A023414(a(n))=2*(n-1), A087117(a(n))=n-1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 23 2009

a(n+1) written in base 2: 11, 1010, 100100, 10001000, 1000010000, ..., i.e., number 1, n times 0, number 1, n times 0 (A163449(n)). - Jaroslav Krizek, Jul 27 2009

a(n) for n >= 1 is a bisection of A001445(n+1). - Jaroslav Krizek, Aug 14 2009

Related to A102573: letting T(q,r) be the coefficient of n^(r+1) in the polynomial 2^(q-n)/n times sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*k^q, then A007582(x)= sum_{k=0..x-1} T(x,k)*2^k. - John M. Campbell, Nov 16 2011

a(n) gives the number of pairs (r, s) such that 0 <= r <= s <= (2^n)-1 that satisfy AND(r, s, XOR(r, s)) = 0. - Ramasamy Chandramouli, Aug 30 2012

a(n) = A000217(2^n) = 2^(2n-1) + 2^(n-1) is the nearest triangular number above 2^(2n-1); cf. A006516, A233327. - Antti Karttunen, Feb 26 2014

Consider the quantum spin-1/2 chain with even number of sites L (physics, condensed matter theory). The spectrum of the Hamiltonian can be classified according to symmetries. If the only symmetry of the spin Hamiltonian is Parity, i.e., reflection with respect to the middle of the chain (see e.g. the transverse-field Ising model with open boundary conditions), then the dimension of the p=+1 parity sector is given by a(n) with n=L/2. - Marin Bukov, Mar 11 2016

a(n) is also the total number of words of length n, over an alphabet of four letters, of which one of them appears an even number of times. See the Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 22 2003, comment on A006516 (4-letter odd case), and the Balakrishnan reference there. For the 1- to 11-letter cases, see the crossrefs. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 17 2017

a(n) is the number of nonisomorphic spanning trees of the cyclic snake formed with n+1 copies of the cycle on 4 vertices. A cyclic snake is a connected graph whose block-cutpoint is a path and all its n blocks are isomorphic to the cycle C_m. - Christian Barrientos, Sep 05 2024
