Binomial transform is A084859. Inverse binomial transform is A004277. - Paul Barry, Jun 12 2003
Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=2,(i>1), A[i,i-1] =-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n-1)= (-1)^(n-1)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x). - Milan Janjic, Jan 26 2010
Indices of primes are listed in A005849. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 18 2015
Add the list of fractions beginning with 1/2 + 3/4 + 7/8 + ... + (2^n - 1)/2^n and take the sums pairwise from left to right. For 1/2 + 3/4 = 5/4, 5 + 4 = 9 = a(2); for 5/4 + 7/8 = 17/8, 17 + 8 = 25 = a(3); for 17/8 + 15/16 = 49/16, 49 + 16 = 65 = a(4); for 49/16 + 31/32 = 129/32, 129 + 32 = 161 = a(5). For each pairwise sum a/b, a + b = n*2^(n+1). - J. M. Bergot, May 06 2015

For n >= 1 a(n) is also the determinant of the n-3 X n-3 matrix with 4's on the diagonal and 1's elsewhere. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), May 06 2001
a(n+3) = det(M(n)) where M(n) is the n X n matrix with m(i,i) = 4, m(i,j) = i/j for i != j. - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 01 2003
Main diagonal of array defined by m(1,j) = j; m(i,1) = i and m(i,j) = m(i-1,j) + 2*m(i-1,j-1). - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 13 2003
a(n+3) is the number of words of length n on {A, B, C, D} with no D appearing anywhere to the right of an A. - Rob Pratt, Aug 04 2004
Number of spanning trees in the book graph of order n-2, i.e., S_{n-2} X P_2 (S_k = the star graph on k nodes) (conjectured). This conjecture is true - see Doslic (2013). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 28 2013
Conjecture: a(n+2) is the total number of parts used in the compositions of n if the parts can be runs of any length from 1 to n, and contain any integers from 1 to n. (The number of such compositions is given by A000244(n-1).) - Gregory L. Simay, May 27 2017
a(n+3) is the number of words of length n defined on 4 letters where one of the letters is used at most once. - Enrique Navarrete, Mar 14 2024

			For n=3, the total number of parts is (3+2)3^(3+2-4)=(5)(3)=15 (each part indicated by "[]"): [3]; [2,1]; [1,2]; [2],[1]; [1],[2]; [1,1,1]; [1,1],[1]; [1],[1,1]; [1],[1],[1]. Note that these 15 parts are arranged into 9 = A000244(3-1)compositions. - _Gregory L. Simay_, May 27 2017
