Number of (s(0), s(1), ..., s(2n)) such that 0 < s(i) < 8 and |s(i) - s(i-1)| = 1 for i = 1,2,...,2n, s(0) = 4, s(2n) = 4. - Herbert Kociemba, Jun 12 2004
a(n-1) counts permutations pi on [n] for which the pairs {i, pi(i)} with i < pi(i), considered as closed intervals [i+1,pi(i)], do not overlap; equivalently, for each i in [n] there is at most one j <= i with pi(j) > i. Counting these permutations by the position of n yields the recurrence relation. - David Callan, Sep 02 2003
a(n) is the sum of (n+1)-th row terms of triangle A140070. - Gary W. Adamson, May 04 2008

Let U_1 and U_3 be the unit-primitive matrices (see [Jeffery])
U_1 = U_(8,1) = [(0,1,0,0); (1,0,1,0); (0,1,0,1); (0,0,2,0)] and
U_3 = U_(8,3) = [(0,0,0,1); (0,0,2,0); (0,2,0,1); (2,0,2,0)]. Then a(n) = (1/4) * Trace(U_1^(2*n)) = (1/2^(n+2)) * Trace(U_3^(2*n)). (See also A084130, A001333.) (End)

a(n) is the first superdiagonal of array A228405. - Richard R. Forberg, Sep 02 2013
Conjecture: With offset 1, a(n) is the number of permutations on [n] with no subsequence abcd such that (i) bc are adjacent in position and (ii) max(a,c) < min(b,d). For example, the 4 permutations of [4] not counted by a(4) are 1324, 1423, 2314, 2413. - David Callan, Aug 27 2014
The conjecture of David Callan above is correct - with offset 1, a(n) is the number of permutations on [n] with no subsequence abcd such that (i) bc are adjacent in position and (ii) max(a,c) < min(b,d). - Yonah Biers-Ariel, Jun 27 2017

Number of permutations of length n > 0 avoiding the partially ordered pattern (POP) {1>2, 1>3, 4>2, 4>3} of length 4. That is, number of length n permutations having no subsequences of length 4 in which the first and fourth elements are larger than the second and third elements. - Sergey Kitaev, Dec 08 2020
a(n-1) is the number of permutations of [n] that can be obtained by placing n points on an X-shape (two crossing lines with slopes 1 and -1), labeling them 1,2,...,n by increasing y-coordinate, and then reading the labels by increasing x-coordinate. - Sergi Elizalde, Sep 27 2021
Consider a stack of pancakes of height n, where the only allowed operation is reversing the top portion of the stack. First, perform a series of reversals of decreasing sizes, followed by a series of reversals of increasing sizes. The number of distinct permutations of the initial stack that can be reached through these operations is a(n). - Thomas Baruchel, May 12 2025

Let R(n) be the set of squares that have vertices at integer coordinates and lie in the region of the plane |x|+|y|<=n+1, and let two squares be independent if they do not share a common edge. Then a(n) is the number of ways to pick a set of independent cell(s) in R(n). (Note R(n) is also known as the Aztec diamond.)
