The floor of the arithmetic mean of the first n+1 positive integers. - Cino Hilliard, Sep 06 2003
Number of partitions of n into powers of 2 where no power is used more than three times, or 4th binary partition function (see A072170).
Number of partitions of n in which the greatest part is at most 2. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 11 2002
Number of partitions of n into at most 2 parts. - Jon Perry, Jun 16 2003
a(n) = #{k=0..n: k+n is even}. - Paul Barry, Sep 13 2003
Number of symmetric Dyck paths of semilength n+2 and having two peaks. E.g., a(6)=4 because we have UUUUUUU*DU*DDDDDDD, UUUUUU*DDUU*DDDDDD, UUUUU*DDDUUU*DDDDD and UUUU*DDDDUUUU*DDDD, where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and * indicates a peak. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 12 2004
Smallest positive integer whose harmonic mean with another positive integer is n (for n > 0). For example, a(6)=4 is already given (as 4 is the smallest positive integer such that the harmonic mean of 4 (with 12) is 6) - but the harmonic mean of 2 (with -6) is also 6 and 2 < 4, so the two positive integer restrictions need to be imposed to rule out both 2 and -6.
Second outermost diagonal of Losanitsch's triangle (A034851). - Alonso del Arte, Mar 12 2006
Arithmetic mean of n-th row of A080511. - Amarnath Murthy, Mar 20 2003
a(n) is the number of ways to pay n euros (or dollars) with coins of one and two euros (respectively dollars). - Richard Choulet and Robert G. Wilson v, Dec 31 2007
Inverse binomial transform of A045623. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 30 2008
Coefficient of q^n in the expansion of (m choose 2)_q as m goes to infinity. - Y. Kelly Itakura (yitkr(AT)mta.ca), Aug 21 2002
This Itakura comment follows from a partial fraction decomposition (m choose 2)q = [(1-q^(2m-2))/(1+q) + (1-q^(2m-2))/(1-q) +2 (1-q^(m-1))^2/(1-q)^2]/4. Interpreted as generating functions in q, they have convolution structures; the first term in the numerator creates +1,-1,+1,-1 etc, the 2nd term creates +1,+1,+1,+1 etc., the 3rd term 2,4,6,8, etc. as m->infinity. - _R. J. Mathar, Sep 25 2008
Binomial transform of (-1)^n*A034008(n) = [1,0,1,-2,4,-8,16,-32,...]. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 15 2009
From Jon Perry_, Nov 16 2010: (Start)
Column sums of:
1 1 1 1 1 1...
1 1 1 1...
1 1...
..............
--------------

This sequence is also the half-convolution of the powers of 1 sequence A000012 with itself. For the definition of half-convolution see a comment on A201204, where also the rule for the o.g.f. is given. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 09 2012
a(n) is also the number of roots of the n-th Bernoulli polynomial in the right half-plane for n>0. - Michel Lagneau, Nov 08 2012
a(n) is the number of symmetry-allowed, linearly-independent terms at n-th order in the series expansion of the Exe vibronic perturbation matrix, H(Q) (cf. Viel & Eisfeld). - Bradley Klee, Jul 21 2015
a(n) is the number of distinct integers in the n-th row of Pascal's triangle. - Melvin Peralta, Feb 03 2016
a(n+1) for n >= 3 is the diameter of the Generalized Petersen Graph G(n, 1). - Nick Mayers, Jun 06 2016
The arithmetic function v_1(n,2) as defined in A289198. - Robert Price, Aug 22 2017
Also, this sequence is the second column in the triangle of the coefficients of the sum of two consecutive Fibonacci polynomials F(n+1, x) and F(n, x) (n>=0) in ascending powers of x. - Mohammad K. Azarian, Jul 18 2018
a(n+2) is the least k such that given any k integers, there exist two of them whose sum or difference is divisible by n. - Pablo Hueso Merino, May 09 2020
Column k = 2 of A051159. - John Keith, Jun 28 2021
