Smallest number of straight line crossing-free spanning trees on n points in the plane.

With interpolated zeros, this has g.f. 2*sqrt(3)*sin(arcsin(3*sqrt(3)*x/2)/3)/(3*x) and a(n) = C(n+floor(n/2),floor(n/2))*C(floor(n/2),n-floor(n/2))/(n+1). This is the first column of the inverse of the Riordan array (1-x^2,x(1-x^2)) (essentially reversion of y-y^3). - Paul Barry, Feb 02 2005
Number of 12312-avoiding matchings on [2n].
Number of complete ternary trees with n internal nodes, or 3n edges.
Number of rooted plane trees with 2n edges, where every vertex has even outdegree ("even trees").
a(n) is the number of noncrossing partitions of [2n] with all blocks of even size. E.g.: a(2)=3 counts 12-34, 14-23, 1234. - David Callan, Mar 30 2007

Also 3-Raney sequence, see the Graham et al. reference, p. 346-7.
The number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (2n,0) using an Up-step=(1,1) and a Down-step=(0,-2) and staying above the x-axis. E.g., a(2) = 3; UUUUDD, UUUDUD, UUDUUD. - Charles Moore (chamoore(AT)howard.edu), Jan 09 2008
a(n) is (conjecturally) the number of permutations of [n+1] that avoid the patterns 4-2-3-1 and 4-2-5-1-3 and end with an ascent. For example, a(4)=55 counts all 60 permutations of [5] that end with an ascent except 42315, 52314, 52413, 53412, all of which contain a 4-2-3-1 pattern and 42513. - David Callan, Jul 22 2008

With B(x,t)=x+t*x^3, the comp. inverse in x about 0 is A(x,t) = Sum_{j>=0} a(j) (-t)^j x^(2j+1). Let U(x,t)=(x-A(x,t))/t. Then DU(x,t)/Dt=dU/dt+U*dU/dx=0 and U(x,0)=x^3, i.e., U is a solution of the inviscid Burgers's, or Hopf, equation. Also U(x,t)=U(x-t*U(x,t),0) and dB(x,t)/dt = U(B(x,t),t) = x^3 = U(x,0). The characteristics for the Hopf equation are x(t) = x(0) + t*U(x(t),t) = x(0) + t*U(x(0),0) = x(0) + t*x(0)^3 = B(x(0),t). These results apply to all the Fuss-Catalan sequences with 3 replaced by n>0 and 2 by n-1 (e.g., A000108 with n=2 and A002293 with n=4), see also A086810, which can be generalized to A133437, for associahedra. - Tom Copeland, Feb 15 2014

Number of sum-indecomposable (4231,42513)-avoiding permutations. Conjecturally, number of sum-indecomposable (2431,45231)-avoiding permutations. - Alexander Burstein, Oct 19 2017

Interpretations of these sequences in terms of the cardinality of specific sets of noncrossing partitions are provided by A134264. - Tom Copeland, Dec 21 2019

"A simplicial d-cluster may be informally described as being constructed by gluing regular d-simplexes together facet-by-facet, at each stage gluing a new simplex to exactly one facet of a cluster already constructed. The equivalence classes of such clusters under rigid motions are in one-to-one correspondence with the combinatorial types of stack polytopes." [Hering et al., 1982] - Jonathan Vos Post, Apr 22 2011
