For the little Schröder numbers (or little Schroeder numbers, or small Schroeder numbers) see A001003.
The number of perfect matchings in a triangular grid of n squares (n = 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ...). - Roberto E. Martinez II, Nov 05 2001
a(n) is the number of subdiagonal paths from (0, 0) to (n, n) consisting of steps East (1, 0), North (0, 1) and Northeast (1, 1) (sometimes called royal paths). - David Callan, Mar 14 2004
Twice A001003 (except for the first term).
a(n) is the number of dissections of a regular (n+4)-gon by diagonals that do not touch the base. (A diagonal is a straight line joining two nonconsecutive vertices and dissection means the diagonals are noncrossing though they may share an endpoint. One side of the (n+4)-gon is designated the base.) Example: a(1)=2 because a pentagon has only 2 such dissections: the empty one and the one with a diagonal parallel to the base. - David Callan, Aug 02 2004
a(n) is the number of separable permutations, i.e., permutations avoiding 2413 and 3142 (see Shapiro and Stephens). - Vincent Vatter, Aug 16 2006
Eric W. Weisstein comments that the Schröder numbers bear the same relationship to the Delannoy numbers (A001850) as the Catalan numbers (A000108) do to the binomial coefficients. - Jonathan Vos Post, Dec 23 2004
a(n) is the number of lattice paths from (0, 0) to (n+1, n+1) consisting of unit steps north N = (0, 1) and variable-length steps east E = (k, 0), with k a positive integer, that stay strictly below the line y = x except at the endpoints. For example, a(2) = 6 counts 111NNN, 21NNN, 3NNN, 12NNN, 11N1NN, 2N1NN (east steps indicated by their length). If the word "strictly" is replaced by "weakly", the counting sequence becomes the little Schröder numbers, A001003 (offset). - David Callan, Jun 07 2006
a(n) is the number of dissections of a regular (n+3)-gon with base AB that do not contain a triangle of the form ABP with BP a diagonal. Example: a(1) = 2 because the square D-C | | A-B has only 2 such dissections: the empty one and the one with the single diagonal AC (although this dissection contains the triangle ABC, BC is not a diagonal). - David Callan, Jul 14 2006
a(n) is the number of (colored) Motzkin n-paths with each upstep and each flatstep at ground level getting one of 2 colors and each flatstep not at ground level getting one of 3 colors. Example: With their colors immediately following upsteps/flatsteps, a(2) = 6 counts U1D, U2D, F1F1, F1F2, F2F1, F2F2. - David Callan, Aug 16 2006
The Hankel transform of this sequence is A006125(n+1) = [1, 2, 8, 64, 1024, 32768, ...]; example: Det([1, 2, 6, 22; 2, 6, 22, 90; 6, 22, 90, 394; 22, 90, 394, 1806]) = 64. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 03 2006
Triangle A144156 has row sums equal to A006318 with left border A001003. - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 12 2008
a(n) is also the number of order-preserving and order-decreasing partial transformations (of an n-chain). Equivalently, it is the order of the Schröder monoid, PC sub n. - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008
Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)/10^n - 1 = (9 - sqrt(41))/2. - Mark Dols, Jun 22 2010
1/sqrt(41) = Sum_{n >= 0} Delannoy number(n)/10^n. - Mark Dols, Jun 22 2010
a(n) is also the dimension of the space Hoch(n) related to Hochschild two-cocycles. - Ph. Leroux (ph_ler_math(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 24 2010
Let W = (w(n, k)) denote the augmentation triangle (as at A193091) of A154325; then w(n, n) = A006318(n). - Clark Kimberling, Jul 30 2011
Conjecture: For each n > 2, the polynomial sum_{k = 0}^n a(k)*x^{n-k} is irreducible modulo some prime p < n*(n+1). - Zhi-Wei Sun, Apr 07 2013
From Jon Perry, May 24 2013: (Start)
Consider a Pascal triangle variant where T(n, k) = T(n, k-1) + T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-1, k), i.e., the order of performing the calculation must go from left to right (A033877). This sequence is the rightmost diagonal.

That is, the number of length n+1 permutations having no subsequences of length 4 in which the second element is the smallest, and the first element is smaller than the third and fourth elements. - Sergey Kitaev, Dec 10 2020
Named after the German mathematician Ernst Schröder (1841-1902). - Amiram Eldar, Apr 15 2021

If you are looking for the Schroeder numbers (a.k.a. large Schroder numbers, or big Schroeder numbers), see A006318.
Yang & Jiang (2021) call these the small 2-Schroeder numbers. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 28 2021
There are two schools of thought about the index for the first term. I prefer the indexing a(0) = a(1) = 1, a(2) = 3, a(3) = 11, etc.
a(n) is the number of ways to insert parentheses in a string of n+1 symbols. The parentheses must be balanced but there is no restriction on the number of pairs of parentheses. The number of letters inside a pair of parentheses must be at least 2. Parentheses enclosing the whole string are ignored.
Also length of list produced by a variant of the Catalan producing iteration: replace each integer k with the list 0,1,..,k,k+1,k,...,1,0 and get the length a(n) of the resulting (flattened) list after n iterations. - Wouter Meeussen, Nov 11 2001
Stanley gives several other interpretations for these numbers.
Number of Schroeder paths of semilength n (i.e., lattice paths from (0,0) to (2n,0), with steps H=(2,0), U=(1,1) and D(1,-1) and not going below the x-axis) with no peaks at level 1. Example: a(2)=3 because among the six Schroeder paths of semilength two HH, UHD, UUDD, HUD, UDH and UDUD, only the first three have no peaks at level 1. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 27 2003
a(n+1) is the number of Dyck n-paths in which the interior vertices of the ascents are colored white or black. - David Callan, Mar 14 2004
Number of possible schedules for n time slots in the first-come first-served (FCFS) printer policy.
Also row sums of A086810, A033282, A126216. - Philippe Deléham, May 09 2004
a(n+1) is the number of pairs (u,v) of same-length compositions of n, 0's allowed in u but not in v and u dominates v (meaning u_1 >= v_1, u_1 + u_2 >= v_1 + v_2 and so on). For example, with n=2, a(3) counts (2,2), (1+1,1+1), (2+0,1+1). - David Callan, Jul 20 2005
The big Schroeder number (A006318) is the number of Schroeder paths from (0,0) to (n,n) (subdiagonal paths with steps (1,0) (0,1) and (1,1)). These paths fall in two classes: those with steps on the main diagonal and those without. These two classes are equinumerous and the number of paths in either class is the little Schroeder number a(n) (half the big Schroeder number). - Marcelo Aguiar (maguiar(AT)math.tamu.edu), Oct 14 2005
With offset 0, a(n) = number of (colored) Motzkin (n-1)-paths with each upstep U getting one of 2 colors and each flatstep F getting one of 3 colors. Example. With their colors immediately following upsteps/flatsteps, a(2) = 3 counts F1, F2, F3 and a(3)=11 counts U1D, U2D, F1F1, F1F2, F1F3, F2F1, F2F2, F2F3, F3F1, F3F2, F3F3. - David Callan, Aug 16 2006
Shifts left when INVERT transform applied twice. - Alois P. Heinz, Apr 01 2009
Number of increasing tableaux of shape (n,n). An increasing tableau is a semistandard tableaux with strictly increasing rows and columns, and set of entries an initial segment of the positive integers. Example: a(2) = 3 because of the three tableaux (12)(34), (13)(24), (12)(23). - Oliver Pechenik, Apr 22 2014
Number of ordered trees with no vertex of outdegree 1 and having n+1 leaves (called sometimes Schröder trees). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 13 2014
Number of dissections of a convex (n+2)-gon by nonintersecting diagonals. Example: a(2)=3 because for a square ABCD we have (i) no diagonal, (ii) dissection with diagonal AC, and (iii) dissection with diagonal BD. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 13 2014
The little Schroeder numbers are the moments of the Marchenko-Pastur law for the case c=2 (although the moment m0 is 1/2 instead of 1): 1/2, 1, 3, 11, 45, 197, 903, ...  - Jose-Javier Martinez, Apr 07 2015
Number of generalized Motzkin paths with no level steps at height 0, from (0,0) to (2n,0), and consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H2=(2,0). For example, for n=3, we have the 11 paths: UDUDUD, UUDDUD, UDUUDD, UH2DUD, UDUH2D, UH2H2D, UUDUDD, UUUDDD, UUH2DD, UUDH2D, UH2UDD. - José Luis Ramírez Ramírez, Apr 20 2015
REVERT transform of A225883. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Oct 25 2015
Total number of (nonempty) faces of all dimensions in the associahedron K_{n+1} of dimension n-1. For example, K_4 (a pentagon) includes 5 vertices and 5 edges together with K_4 itself (5 + 5 + 1 = 11), while K_5 includes 14 vertices, 21 edges and 9 faces together with K_5 itself (14 + 21 + 9 + 1 = 45). - Noam Zeilberger, Sep 17 2018
a(n) is the number of interval posets of permutations with n minimal elements that have exactly two realizers, up to a shift by 1 in a(4). See M. Bouvel, L. Cioni, B. Izart, Theorem 17 page 13. - Mathilde Bouvel, Oct 21 2021
a(n) is the number of sequences of nonnegative integers (u_1, u_2, ..., u_n) such that (i) u_1 = 1, (ii) u_i <= i for all i, (iii) the nonzero u_i are weakly increasing. For example, a(2) = 3 counts 10, 11, 12, and a(3) = 11 counts 100, 101, 102, 103, 110, 111, 112, 113, 120, 122, 123. See link below. - David Callan, Dec 19 2021
a(n) is the number of parking functions of size n avoiding the patterns 132 and 213. - Lara Pudwell, Apr 10 2023
a(n+1) is the number of Schroeder paths from (0,0) to (2n,0) in which level steps at height 0 come in 2 colors. - Alexander Burstein, Jul 23 2023

			G.f. = 1 + x + 3*x^2 + 11*x^3 + 45*x^4 + 197*x^5 + 903*x^6 + 4279*x^7 + ...
a(2) = 3: abc, a(bc), (ab)c; a(3) = 11: abcd, (ab)cd, a(bc)d, ab(cd), (ab)(cd), a(bcd), a(b(cd)), a((bc)d), (abc)d, (a(bc))d, ((ab)c)d.
Sum over partitions formula: a(3) = 2*a(0)*a(2) + 1*a(1)^2 + 3*(a(0)^2)*a(1) + 1*a(0)^4 = 6 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 11.
a(4) = 45 since the top row of Q^3 = (11, 14, 12, 8, 0, 0, 0, ...); (11 + 14 + 12 + 8) = 45.

The correct asymptotic for this sequence is a(n) ~ W*(3+sqrt(8))^n*n^(-3/2), where W = (1+sqrt(2))/(2*2^(3/4)*sqrt(Pi)) = 0.404947065905750651736243... Result in book by D. Knuth (p. 539 of 3rd edition, exercise 12) is for sequence b(n), but a(n) = b(n+1)/2. Therefore is asymptotic a(n) ~ b(n) * (3+sqrt(8))/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 09 2012

For n > 0, a(n) = (1/(n+1)) * Sum_{k = 0 .. n-1} binomial(2*n-k, n) * binomial(n-1, k). This formula counts colored Dyck paths (as above) by number of white vertices. - David Callan, Mar 14 2004

Example: a(2)=4 because in the six Schröder paths of semilength two, HH, H(UD), (UD)H, (UD)(UD), UHD and UUDD (where H=(2,0), U=(1,1), D=(1,-1)), we have four peaks at level 1 (shown between parentheses). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 27 2003

a(n) = number of Schroder n-paths (subdiagonal paths of steps E = (1,0), N = (0,1), and D = (1,1) from the origin to (n,n) ) that start with an E step. For example, a(2) = 4 counts END, ENEN, EDN, EENN. - David Callan, May 15 2022

			a(4) = 68 since the top row of M^3 = (22, 22, 16, 8, 0, 0, 0, ...); where 68 = (22 + 22 + 16 + 8).

Row sums are little Schroeder numbers A001003. Diagonal sums are generalized Fibonacci numbers A006603. Columns include A006318, A006319, A006320, A006321.
T(n,k) is the number of dissections of a convex (n+3)-gon by nonintersecting diagonals with exactly k diagonals emanating from a fixed vertex. Example: T(2,1)=4 because the dissections of the convex pentagon ABCDE having exactly one diagonal emanating from the vertex A are: {AC}, {AD}, {AC,EC} and {AD,BD}. - Emeric Deutsch, May 31 2004
For more triangle sums, see A180662, see the Schroeder triangle A033877 which is the mirror of this triangle. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 15 2013
