Number of (s(0), s(1), ..., s(2n)) such that 0 < s(i) < 8 and |s(i) - s(i-1)| = 1 for i = 1,2,...,2n, s(0) = 4, s(2n) = 4. - Herbert Kociemba, Jun 12 2004
a(n-1) counts permutations pi on [n] for which the pairs {i, pi(i)} with i < pi(i), considered as closed intervals [i+1,pi(i)], do not overlap; equivalently, for each i in [n] there is at most one j <= i with pi(j) > i. Counting these permutations by the position of n yields the recurrence relation. - David Callan, Sep 02 2003

Let U_1 and U_3 be the unit-primitive matrices (see [Jeffery])
U_1 = U_(8,1) = [(0,1,0,0); (1,0,1,0); (0,1,0,1); (0,0,2,0)] and
U_3 = U_(8,3) = [(0,0,0,1); (0,0,2,0); (0,2,0,1); (2,0,2,0)]. Then a(n) = (1/4) * Trace(U_1^(2*n)) = (1/2^(n+2)) * Trace(U_3^(2*n)). (See also A084130, A001333.) (End)

a(n) is the first superdiagonal of array A228405. - Richard R. Forberg, Sep 02 2013
Conjecture: With offset 1, a(n) is the number of permutations on [n] with no subsequence abcd such that (i) bc are adjacent in position and (ii) max(a,c) < min(b,d). For example, the 4 permutations of [4] not counted by a(4) are 1324, 1423, 2314, 2413. - David Callan, Aug 27 2014
The conjecture of David Callan above is correct - with offset 1, a(n) is the number of permutations on [n] with no subsequence abcd such that (i) bc are adjacent in position and (ii) max(a,c) < min(b,d). - Yonah Biers-Ariel, Jun 27 2017

Number of permutations of length n > 0 avoiding the partially ordered pattern (POP) {1>2, 1>3, 4>2, 4>3} of length 4. That is, number of length n permutations having no subsequences of length 4 in which the first and fourth elements are larger than the second and third elements. - Sergey Kitaev, Dec 08 2020
a(n-1) is the number of permutations of [n] that can be obtained by placing n points on an X-shape (two crossing lines with slopes 1 and -1), labeling them 1,2,...,n by increasing y-coordinate, and then reading the labels by increasing x-coordinate. - Sergi Elizalde, Sep 27 2021
Consider a stack of pancakes of height n, where the only allowed operation is reversing the top portion of the stack. First, perform a series of reversals of decreasing sizes, followed by a series of reversals of increasing sizes. The number of distinct permutations of the initial stack that can be reached through these operations is a(n). - Thomas Baruchel, May 12 2025

With interpolated zeros (1,0,1,0,2,...), counts closed walks of length n at start or end node of P_6. The sequence (0,1,0,2,...) counts walks of length n between the start and second node. - Paul Barry, Jan 26 2005

a(n) is also the upper left entry of the n-th power of the 3 X 3 tridiagonal matrix M_3 = Matrix([1,1,0], [1,2,1], [0,1,2]) from A332602: a(n) = ((M_3)^n)[1,1].
Proof: (M_3)^n = b(n-2)*(M_3)^2 - (6*b(n-3) - b(n-4))*M_3 + b(n-3)*1_3, for n >= 0, with b(n) = A005021(n), for n >= -4. For the proof of this see a comment in A005021. Hence (M_3)^n[1,1] = 2*b(n-2) - 5*b(n-3) + b(n-4), for n >= 0. This proves the 3 X 3 part of the conjecture in A332602 by Gary W. Adamson.
The formula for a(n) given below in terms of r = rho(7) = A160389 proves that a(n)/a(n-1) converges to rho(7)^2 = A116425 = 3.2469796..., because r - 2/r = 0.6920... < 1, and r^2 - 3 = 0.2469... < 1. This limit was conjectured in A332602 by Gary W. Adamson.

Bruno Berselli, May 11 2012

In the paper of Kitaev, Remmel and Tiefenbruck (see the Links section), Q_(132)^(k,0,0,0)(x,0) represents a generating function depending on k and x.
For successive values of k we have:
k=1, the g.f. of A000012: 1/(1-x);
k=2,      "      A011782: (1-x)/(1-2*x);
k=3,      "      A001519: (1-2*x)/(1-3*x+x^2);
k=4,      "      A124302: (1-3*x+x^2)/(1-4*x+3*x^2);
k=5,      "      A080937: (1-4*x+3*x^2)/(1-5*x+6*x^2-x^3);
k=6,      "      A024175: (1-5*x+6*x^2-x^3)/(1-6*x+10*x^2-4*x^3);
k=7,      "      A080938: (1-6*x+10*x^2-4*x^3)/(1-7*x+15*x^2-10*x^3+x^4);
k=8,      "      A033191: (1-7*x+15*x^2-10*x^3+x^4)/(1-8*x+21*x^2
                           -20*x^3+5*x^4).
This sequence corresponds to the case k=9.
We observe that the coefficients of numerators and denominators are in A115139.
In general, Q_(132)^(k,0,0,0)(x,0) is the generating function for Dyck paths whose maximum height is less than or equal to k; also, it is the generating function of rooted binary trees T which have no nodes 'eta' such that there are >= k left edges on the path from 'eta' to the root of T (see cited paper, page 11).

Number of permutations in S_n avoiding both 132 and 123...k.
T(n,k) = number of rooted ordered trees on n nodes of depth <= k. Also, T(n,k) = number of {1,-1} sequences of length 2n summing to 0 with all partial sums are >=0 and <= k. Also, T(n,k) = number of closed walks of length 2n on a path of k nodes starting from (and ending at) a node of degree 1. - Mitch Harris, Mar 06 2004
Also T(n,k) = k-th coefficient in expansion of the rational function R(n), where R(1) = 1, R(n+1) = 1/(1-x*R(n)), which means also that lim(n->inf,R(n)) = g.f. of Catalan numbers (A000108) wherever it has real value (see Mansour article). - Clark Kimberling and Ralf Stephan, May 26 2004
Row n of the array gives Taylor series expansion of F_n(t)/F_{n+1}(t), where F_n(t) are the Fibonacci polynomials defined in A259475 [Kreweras, 1970]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 03 2015

			T(3,2) = 4 since the paths of length 2*3 (7 points) with all values less than or equal to 2 can take the routes 0101010, 0101210, 0121010 or 0121210, but not 0123210.

From Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 27 2020: (Start)
a(n) also gives the upper left entry of the n-th power of the 4 X 4 tridiagonal matrix M_4, given in A332602: M_4 = Matrix([1,1,0,0], [1,2,1,0], [0,1,2,1], [0,0,1,2]): a(n) = (M_4)^n[1,1]. Proof from the formula for (M_4)^n, given in a comment in A094256, derived from the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, which leads to the recurrence. The formula for a(n) in terms of A094256 is given below.
For A094256(n+1)/A094256(n), like for A094829(n+1)/A094829(n), the limit for n -> infinity is rho(9)^2 = A332438 = 3.53208888..., with rho(9) = 2*cos(Pi/9) = A332437. Therefore the formula of a(n) in terms of A094256 shows that the same limit is reached for a(n+1)/a(n). See this conjecture by Gary W. Adamson in A332602.
