Inverse Gudermannian gd^(-1)(x) = log(sec(x) + tan(x)) = log(tan(Pi/4 + x/2)) = arctanh(sin(x)) = 2 * arctanh(tan(x/2)) = 2 * arctanh(csc(x) - cot(x)). - Michael Somos, Mar 19 2011
a(n) is the number of downup permutations of [2n]. Example: a(2)=5 counts 4231, 4132, 3241, 3142, 2143. - David Callan, Nov 21 2011
a(n) is the number of increasing full binary trees on vertices {0,1,2,...,2n} for which the leftmost leaf is labeled 2n. - David Callan, Nov 21 2011
a(n) is the number of unordered increasing trees of size 2n+1 with only even degrees allowed and degree-weight generating function given by cosh(t). - Markus Kuba, Sep 13 2014
a(n) is the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shape (n+1,n,n-1,...,3,2)/(n-1,n-2,...2,1). - Ran Pan, Apr 10 2015
Since cos(z) has a root at z = Pi/2 and no other root in C with a smaller |z|, the radius of convergence of the e.g.f. (intended complex-valued) is Pi/2 = A019669 (see also A028296). - Stanislav Sykora, Oct 07 2016
All terms are odd. - Alois P. Heinz, Jul 22 2018
The sequence starting with a(1) is periodic modulo any odd prime p. The minimal period is (p-1)/2 if p == 1 mod 4 and p-1 if p == 3 mod 4 [Knuth & Buckholtz, 1967, Theorem 2]. - Allen Stenger, Aug 03 2020
Conjecture: taking the sequence [a(n) : n >= 1] modulo an integer k gives a purely periodic sequence with period dividing phi(k). For example, the sequence taken modulo 21 begins [1, 5, 19, 20, 16, 2, 1, 5, 19, 20, 16, 2, 1, 5, 19, 20, 16, 2, 1, 5, 19, ...] with an apparent period of 6 = phi(21)/2. - Peter Bala, May 08 2023

For other sequences with generating functions of a similar type see A000464, A002105, A002439, A079144 and A158690.
a(n) = 2*(-1)^n*L(-2*n), where L(s) is the Dirichlet L-function L(s) = 1 - 1/3^s + 1/5^s - + .... (End)
Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*z^(2*n)/(4*n)!! = Beta(1/2-z/(2*Pi),1/2+z/(2*Pi))/Beta(1/2,1/2) with Beta(z,w) the Beta function. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 06 2009

If n is prime, then a(n)==1 (mod 2*n). - Vladimir Shevelev, Sep 04 2010
From Peter Bala, Jan 21 2011: (Start)
(1)... a(n) = (-1/4)^n*B(2*n,-1),
where {B(n,x)}n>=1 = [1, 1+x, 1+6*x+x^2, 1+23*x+23*x^2+x^3, ...] is the sequence of Eulerian polynomials of type B - see A060187. Equivalently,
(2)... a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..2*n} Sum_{j = 0..k} (-1)^(n-j) *binomial(2*n+1,k-j)*(j+1/2)^(2*n).
We also have
(3)... a(n) = 2*A(2*n,i)/(1+i)^(2*n+1),
where i = sqrt(-1) and where {A(n,x)}n>=1 = [x, x + x^2, x + 4*x^2 + x^3, ...] denotes the sequence of Eulerian polynomials - see A008292. Equivalently,
(4)... a(n) = i*Sum_{k = 1..2*n} (-1)^(n+k)*k!*Stirling2(2*n,k) *((1+i)/2)^(k-1)
= i*Sum_{k = 1..2*n} (-1)^(n+k)*((1+i)/2)^(k-1) Sum_{j = 0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(k,j)*j^(2*n).
Either this explicit formula for a(n) or (2) above may be used to obtain congruence results for a(n). For example, for prime p
(5a)... a(p) = 1 (mod p)
(5b)... a(2*p) = 5 (mod p)
and for odd prime p
(6a)... a((p+1)/2) = (-1)^((p-1)/2) (mod p)
(6b)... a((p-1)/2) = -1 + (-1)^((p-1)/2) (mod p).
(End)
a(n) = (-1)^n*2^(4*n+1)*(zeta(-2*n,1/4) - zeta(-2*n,3/4)). - Gerry Martens, May 27 2011
a(n) may be expressed as a sum of multinomials taken over all compositions of 2*n into even parts (Vella 2008): a(n) = Sum_{compositions 2*i_1 + ... + 2*i_k = 2*n} (-1)^(n+k)* multinomial(2*n, 2*i_1, ..., 2*i_k). For example, there are 4 compositions of the number 6 into even parts, namely 6, 4+2, 2+4 and 2+2+2, and hence a(3) = 6!/6! - 6!/(4!*2!) - 6!/(2!*4!) + 6!/(2!*2!*2!) = 61. A companion formula expressing a(n) as a sum of multinomials taken over the compositions of 2*n-1 into odd parts has been given by Malenfant 2011. - Peter Bala, Jul 07 2011
a(n) = the upper left term in M^n, where M is an infinite square production matrix; M[i,j] = A000290(i) = i^2, i >= 1 and 1 <= j <= i+1, and M[i,j] = 0, i >= 1 and j >= i+2 (see examples). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 18 2011

a(n) = D^(2*n)(cosh(x)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator cosh(x)*d/dx. a(n) = D^(2*n-1)(f(x)) evaluated at x = 0, where f(x) = 1+x+x^2/2! and D is the operator f(x)*d/dx.
Other generating functions: cosh(Integral_{t = 0..x} 1/cos(t)) dt = 1 + x^2/2! + 5*x^4/4! + 61*x^6/6! + 1385*x^8/8! + .... Cf. A012131.
A(x) := arcsinh(tan(x)) = log( sec(x) + tan(x) ) = x + x^3/3! + 5*x^5/5! + 61*x^7/7! + 1385*x^9/9! + .... A(x) satisfies A'(x) = cosh(A(x)).
B(x) := Series reversion( log(sec(x) + tan(x)) ) = x - x^3/3! + 5*x^5/5! - 61*x^7/7! + 1385*x^9/9! - ... = arctan(sinh(x)). B(x) satisfies B'(x) = cos(B(x)). (End)

Can be used as a binomial transform operator: Let a(n) = the n-th term in any S(n); then extract 2^k strings, adding the terms. This results in the binomial transform of S(n). Say S(n) = 1, 3, 5, ...; then we obtain the strings: (1), (3, 1), (3, 5, 3, 1), (3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 5, 3, 1), ...; = the binomial transform of (1, 3, 5, ...) = (1, 4, 12, 32, 80, ...). Example: the 8-bit string has a sum of 32 with a distribution of (1, 3, 3, 1) or one 1, three 3's, three 5's, and one 7; as expected. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 21 2012
Considers all positive odd numbers as nodes of a graph. Two nodes are connected if and only if the sum of the two corresponding odd numbers is a power of 2. Then a(n) is the distance between 2n + 1 and 1. - Jianing Song, Apr 20 2019

			Considered as a triangle with 2^k terms per row, the first few rows are:

  ...
The n-th row becomes right half of next row; left half is mirrored terms of n-th row increased by one. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jun 20 2012

a(n) is the complement of the bit to the left of the least significant "1" in the binary expansion of n+1. E.g., n = 3, n+1 = 4 = 100_2, so a(3) = (complement of bit to left of 1) = 1. - Robert L. Brown, Nov 28 2001 [Adjusted to match offset by N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 15 2021]

Turns (by 90 degrees) of the Heighway dragon which can be rendered as follows: [Init] Set n=0 and direction=0. [Draw] Draw a unit line (in the current direction). Turn left/right if a(n) is zero/nonzero respectively. [Next] Set n=n+1 and goto (draw). See fxtbook link below. - Joerg Arndt, Apr 15 2010
Sequence can be obtained by the L-system with rules L->L1R, R->L0R, 1->1, 0->0, starting with L, and then dropping all L's and R's (see example). - Joerg Arndt, Aug 28 2011
From Gary W. Adamson, Jun 20 2012: (Start)
One half of the infinite Farey tree can be mapped one-to-one onto A014577 since both sequences can be derived directly from the binary. First few terms are
   1,   1,   0,   1,   1,   0,   0,   1,   1,   1, ...
  1/2  2/3  1/3  3/4  3/5  2/5  1/4  4/5  5/7  5/8, ...
Infinite Farey tree fractions can be derived from the binary by appending a repeat of rightmost binary term to the right, then recording the number of runs to obtain the continued fraction representation. Example: 9 = 1001 which becomes 10011 which becomes [1,2,2] = 5/7. (End)
The sequence can be considered as a binomial transform operator for a target sequence S(n). Replace the first 1 in A014577 with the first term in S(n), then for successive "1" term in A014577, map the next higher term in S(n). If "0" in A014577, map the next lower term in S(n). Using the sequence S(n) = (1, 3, 5, 7, ...), we obtain (1), (3, 1), (3, 5, 3, 1), (3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 5, 3, 1), .... Then parse the terms into subsequences of 2^k terms, adding the terms in each string.  We obtain (1, 4, 12, 32, 80, ...), the binomial transform of (1, 3, 5, 7, ...). The 8-bit string has one 1, three 5's, three 7's and one 1) as expected, or (1, 3, 3, 1) dot (1, 3, 5, 7). - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 24 2012
From Gary W. Adamson, May 29 2013: (Start)
The sequence can be generated directly from the lengths of continued fraction representations of fractions in one half of the Stern-Brocot tree (fractions between 0 and 1):
   1/2
   1/3 2/3
   1/4 2/5 3/5 3/4
   1/5 2/7 3/8 3/7 4/7 5/8 5/7 4/5
   ...
and their corresponding continued fraction representations are:
   [2]
   [3] [1,2]
   [4] [2,2] [1,1,2] [1,3]
   [5] [3,2] [2,1,2] [2,3] [1,1,3] [1,1,1,2] [1,2,2] [1,4]
   ...
Record the lengths by rows then reverse rows, getting:
   1,
   2, 1,
   2, 3, 2, 1,
   2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1,
   ...
start with "1" and if the next term is greater than the current term, record a 1, otherwise 0; getting the present sequence, the Harter-Heighway dragon curve.  (End)
The paper-folding word "110110011100100111011000..." can be created by concatenating the terms of a fixed point of the morphism or string substitution rule: 00 -> 1000, 01 -> 1001, 10 -> 1100 & 11 -> 1101, beginning with "11". - Robert G. Wilson v, Jun 11 2015
From Gary W. Adamson, Jun 04 2021: (Start)
Since the Heighway dragon is composed of right angles, it can be mapped with unit trajectories (Right = 1, Left = (-1), Up = i and Down = -i) on the complex plane where i = sqrt(-1). The initial (0th) iterate is chosen in this case to be the unit line from (0,0) to (-1,0). Then follow the directions below as indicated, resulting in a reflected variant of the dragon curve shown at the Eric Weisstein link. The conjectured system of complex plane trajectories is:
  0   -1
  1   -1, i
  2   -1, i, 1, i
  3   -1, i, 1, i, 1, -i, 1, i
  4   -1, i, 1, i, 1, -i, 1, i, 1, -i, -1, -i, 1, -i, 1, i
  ...
The conjecture succeeds through the 4th iterate. It appears that to generate the (n+1)-th row, bring down the n-th row as the left half of row (n+1). For the right half of row (n+1), bring down the n-th row but change the signs of the first half of row n. For example, to get the complex plane instructions for the third iterate of the dragon curve, bring down (-1, i, 1, i) as the left half, and the right half is (1, -i, 1, i).  (End)
From Gary W. Adamson, Jun 09 2021: (Start)
Partial sums of the iterate trajectories produce a sequence of complex addresses for unit segments. Partial sums of row 4 are:  -1, (-1+i), i, 2i, (1+2i), (1+i), (2+i), (2+2i), (3+2i), (3+i), (2+i), 2, 3, (3-i), (4-i), 4. (zeros are omitted with terms of the form a+0i).  The reflected variant of the dragon curve has the 0th iterate from (0,0) to (1,0), and the respective addresses simply change the signs of the real terms.  (End)
