Comment from Charles Fefferman, courtesy of Doron Zeilberger, Dec 02 2014: (Start)
Fix a dimension n. For a real-valued function f defined on a finite set E in R^n, let Norm(f, E) denote the inf of the C^2 norms of all functions F on R^n that agree with f on E. Then there exist constants k and C depending only on the dimension n such that Norm(f, E) <= C*max{ Norm(f, S) }, where the max is taken over all k-point subsets S in E.  Moreover, the best possible k is 3 * 2^(n-1).
The analogous result, with the same k, holds when the C^2 norm is replaced, e.g., by the C^1, alpha norm (0 < alpha <= 1). However, the optimal analogous k, e.g., for the C^3 norm is unknown.
For the above results, see Y. Brudnyi and P. Shvartsman (1994). (End)

Inverse of sequence A064216 considered as a permutation of the positive integers. - Howard A. Landman, Sep 25 2001
From Antti Karttunen, Dec 20 2014: (Start)
Permutation of natural numbers obtained by replacing each prime divisor of n with the next prime and mapping the generated odd numbers back to all natural numbers by adding one and then halving.
Note: there is a 7-cycle almost right in the beginning: (6 8 14 17 10 11 7). (See also comments at A249821. This 7-cycle is endlessly copied in permutations like A250249/A250250.)
The only 3-cycle in range 1 .. 402653184 is (2821 3460 5639).
For 1- and 2-cycles, see A245449.
(End)
The first 5-cycle is (1410, 2783, 2451, 2703, 2803). - Robert Israel, Jan 15 2015

(10242, 20479, 21413, 29245, 30275, 40354, 48241) is another 7-cycle. (End)
From Antti Karttunen, Feb 10 2021: (Start)
Somewhat artificially, also this permutation can be represented as a binary tree. Each child to the left is obtained by multiplying the parent by 3 and subtracting one, while each child to the right is obtained by applying A253888 to the parent:

Each node's (> 1) parent can be obtained with A253889. Sequences A292243, A292244, A292245 and A292246 are constructed from the residues (mod 3) of the vertices encountered on the path from n to the root (1).

			For n = 6, as 6 = 2 * 3 = prime(1) * prime(2), we have a(6) = ((prime(1+1) * prime(2+1))+1) / 2 = ((3 * 5)+1)/2 = 8.
For n = 12, as 12 = 2^2 * 3, we have a(12) = ((3^2 * 5) + 1)/2 = 23.

a(n) = DPE(n+1) is the total number of k-double-palindromes of n up to cyclic equivalence. See sequence A180918 for the definitions of a k-double-palindrome of n and of cyclic equivalence. Sequence A180918 is the 'DPE(n,k)' triangle read by rows where DPE(n,k) is the number of k-double-palindromes of n up to cyclic equivalence. For example, we have a(4) = DPE(5) = DPE(5,1) + DPE(5,2) + DPE(5,3) + DPE(5,4) + DPE(5,5) = 0 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6.
The 6 double-palindromes of 5 up to cyclic equivalence are 14, 23, 113, 122, 1112, 11111. They come from cyclic equivalence classes {14,41}, {23,32}, {113,311,131}, {122,212,221}, {1112,2111,1211,1121}, and {11111}. Hence a(n)=DPE(n+1) is the total number of cyclic equivalence classes of n containing at least one double-palindrome.

For n > 0, there is a red-black tree of height n with a(n-1) internal nodes and none with less.
In order a red-black tree of given height has minimal number of nodes, it has exactly 1 path with strictly alternating red and black nodes. All nodes outside this height defining path are black.

(Red nodes shown as R, blacks as B, externals as E.)
Red-black trees mrbt1, mrbt2, mrbt3, mrbt4, mrbt5 of respective heights h = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; all minimal in the number of internal nodes, namely 1, 2, 4, 6, 10.

Also the number of binary words of length n with cuts-resistance <= 2, where, for the operation of shortening all runs by one, cuts-resistance is the number of applications required to reach an empty word. Explicitly, these are words whose sequence of run-lengths, all of which are 1 or 2, has no odd-length run of 1's sandwiched between two 2's. - Gus Wiseman, Nov 28 2019

Also the number of non-singleton integer compositions of n + 2 with no odd part other than the first or last. Including singletons gives A052955. This is an unsorted (or ordered) version of A351003. The version without even (instead of odd) interior parts is A001911, complement A232580. Note that A000045(n-1) counts compositions without odd parts, with non-singleton case A077896, and A052952/A074331 count non-singleton compositions without even parts. Also the number of compositions y of n + 1 such that y_i = y_{i+1} for all even i. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 19 2022

The following sequences are all essentially the same, in the sense that they are simple transformations of each other, with A029744 = {s(n), n>=1}, the numbers 2^k and 3*2^k, as the parent: A029744 (s(n)); A052955 (s(n)-1), A027383 (s(n)-2), A354788 (s(n)-3), A347789 (s(n)-4), A209721 (s(n)+1), A209722 (s(n)+2), A343177 (s(n)+3), A209723 (s(n)+4); A060482, A136252 (minor differences from A354788 at the start); A354785 (3*s(n)), A354789 (3*s(n)-7). The first differences of A029744 are 1,1,1,2,2,4,4,8,8,... which essentially matches eight sequences: A016116, A060546, A117575, A131572, A152166, A158780, A163403, A320770.

Gives the number of L-convex polyominoes with n cells, that is convex polyominoes where any two cells can be connected by a path internal to the polyomino and which has at most 1 change of direction (i.e., one of the four orientation of the L). - Simone Rinaldi (rinaldi(AT)unisi.it), Feb 19 2007
Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org) observes that this sequence (beginning at 2) is "size of raises in pot-limit poker, one blind, maximum raising".
Dimensions of the graded components of the Hopf algebra of noncommutative multi-symmetric functions of level 2. For level r, the sequence would be the INVERT transform of binomial(n+r-1,n). - Jean-Yves Thibon (jyt(AT)univ-mlv.fr), Jun 26 2008

Let M be a triangle with the odd-indexed Fibonacci numbers (1, 2, 5, 13, ...) in every column, with the leftmost column shifted upwards one row.
