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)

A000079 is the main entry for this sequence.
Binomial transform of A000035.
Essentially the same as A034008 and A000079.
a(n) = a(n-1)-th even natural numbers (A005846) for n > 1. - Jaroslav Krizek, Apr 25 2009
Where record values greater than 1 occur in A083662: A000045(n)=A083662(a(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Sep 26 2009
Number of compositions of natural number n into parts >0.
The signed sequence 0, 1, -2, 4, -8, 16, -32, 64, -128, 256, -512, 1024, ... is the Lucas U(-2,0) sequence. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 08 2013
In computer programming, these are the only unsigned numbers such that k&(k-1)=0, where & is the bitwise AND operator and numbers are expressed in binary. - Stanislav Sykora, Nov 29 2013
Also the 0-additive sequence: a(n) is the smallest number larger than a(n-1) which is not the sum of any subset of earlier terms, with initial values {0, 1, 2}. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 12 2014
Also the smallest nonnegative superincreasing sequence: each term is larger than the sum of all preceding terms. Indeed, an equivalent definition is a(0)=0, a(n+1)=1+sum_{k=0..n} a(k). - M. F. Hasler, Jan 13 2015

The map n -> a(n) (where a(n) = 3n/2 if n even or (3n+1)/2 if n odd) was studied by Mahler, in connection with "Z-numbers" and later by Flatto. One question was whether, iterating from an initial integer, one eventually encountered an iterate = 1 (mod 4). - Jeff Lagarias, Sep 23 2002
Partial sums of 0,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,... . - Paul Barry, Aug 18 2007
