Dimension of the space of weight 1 modular forms for Gamma_1(n+1).
Number of ways 2^n is expressible as r^2 - s^2 with s > 0. Proof: (r+s) and (r-s) both should be powers of 2, even and distinct hence a(2k) = a(2k-1) = (k-1) etc. - Amarnath Murthy, Sep 20 2002

Complement of A010872, since A010872(n) + 3*a(n) = n. - Hieronymus Fischer, Jun 01 2007
Chvátal proved that, given an arbitrary n-gon, there exist a(n) points such that all points in the interior are visible from at least one of those points; further, for all n >= 3, there exists an n-gon which cannot be covered in this fashion with fewer than a(n) points. This is known as the "art gallery problem". - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 29 2012

Conjecture: The sequence lists all nonnegative m, in increasing order, such that floor(m/2)*floor(m/3) is a square.
This conjecture has been proved by Robert Israel (see paper in Links section).
