First differences of central binomial coefficients: a(n) = A001405(n+1) - A001405(n).
The maximum size of an intersecting (or proper) antichain on an n-set. - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 27 2000
Number of ordered trees with n+1 edges, having root of degree at least 2 and nonroot nodes of outdegree 0 or 2. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 02 2002
a(n)=number of Dyck (n+1)-paths that are symmetric but not prime. A prime Dyck path is one that returns to the x-axis only at its terminal point. For example a(3)=3 counts UDUUDDUD, UUDDUUDD, UDUDUDUD. - David Callan, Dec 09 2004
Number of involutions of [n+2] containing the pattern 132 exactly once. For example, a(3)=3 because we have 1'3'2'45, 42'5'13' and 52'4'3'1 (the entries corresponding to the pattern 132 are "primed"). - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 17 2005
Also number of ways to put n eggs in floor(n/2) baskets where order of the baskets matters and all baskets have at least 1 egg. - Ben Paul Thurston, Sep 30 2006
For n >= 1 the number of standard Young tableaux with shapes corresponding to partitions into at most 2 distinct parts. - Joerg Arndt, Oct 25 2012
It seems that 3, 4, 10, ... are Colbourn's Covering Array Numbers CAN(2,k,2). - Ryan Dougherty, May 27 2015
Essentially the same as A007007. - Georg Fischer, Oct 02 2018
a(n) is the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} that contain exactly 1 more odd than even elements.  For example, for n = 6, a(6) = 15 and the 15 sets are {1}, {3}, {5}, {1,2,3}, {1,2,5}, {1,3,4}, {1,3,6}, {1,4,5}, {1,5,6}, {2,3,5}, {3,4,5}, {3,5,6}, {1,2,3,4,5}, {1,2,3,5,6}, {1,3,4,5,6}. - Enrique Navarrete, Dec 21 2019
a(n) is the number of lattice paths of n steps taken from the step set {U=(1,1), D=(1,-1)} that start at the origin, never go below the x-axis, and end strictly above the x-axis; more succinctly, proper left factors of Dyck paths. For example, a(3)=3 counts UUU, UUD, UDU, and a(4)=4 counts UUUU, UUUD, UUDU, UDUU. - David Callan and Emeric Deutsch, Jan 25 2021
For n >= 3, a(n) is also the number of pinnacle sets in the (n-2)-Plummer-Toft graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Sep 11 2024

An antichain is called intersecting (or proper) antichain if every two members have a nonempty intersection. Row sums give the number of intersecting antichains on a labeled n-set or n-variable Boolean functions in the Post class F(7,2) or self-dual monotone Boolean functions of n+1 variables. Cf. A001206.
