If you are looking for the Schroeder numbers (a.k.a. large Schroder numbers, or big Schroeder numbers), see A006318.
Yang & Jiang (2021) call these the small 2-Schroeder numbers. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 28 2021
There are two schools of thought about the index for the first term. I prefer the indexing a(0) = a(1) = 1, a(2) = 3, a(3) = 11, etc.
a(n) is the number of ways to insert parentheses in a string of n+1 symbols. The parentheses must be balanced but there is no restriction on the number of pairs of parentheses. The number of letters inside a pair of parentheses must be at least 2. Parentheses enclosing the whole string are ignored.
Also length of list produced by a variant of the Catalan producing iteration: replace each integer k with the list 0,1,..,k,k+1,k,...,1,0 and get the length a(n) of the resulting (flattened) list after n iterations. - Wouter Meeussen, Nov 11 2001
Stanley gives several other interpretations for these numbers.
Number of Schroeder paths of semilength n (i.e., lattice paths from (0,0) to (2n,0), with steps H=(2,0), U=(1,1) and D(1,-1) and not going below the x-axis) with no peaks at level 1. Example: a(2)=3 because among the six Schroeder paths of semilength two HH, UHD, UUDD, HUD, UDH and UDUD, only the first three have no peaks at level 1. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 27 2003
a(n+1) is the number of Dyck n-paths in which the interior vertices of the ascents are colored white or black. - David Callan, Mar 14 2004
Number of possible schedules for n time slots in the first-come first-served (FCFS) printer policy.
Also row sums of A086810, A033282, A126216. - Philippe Deléham, May 09 2004
a(n+1) is the number of pairs (u,v) of same-length compositions of n, 0's allowed in u but not in v and u dominates v (meaning u_1 >= v_1, u_1 + u_2 >= v_1 + v_2 and so on). For example, with n=2, a(3) counts (2,2), (1+1,1+1), (2+0,1+1). - David Callan, Jul 20 2005
The big Schroeder number (A006318) is the number of Schroeder paths from (0,0) to (n,n) (subdiagonal paths with steps (1,0) (0,1) and (1,1)). These paths fall in two classes: those with steps on the main diagonal and those without. These two classes are equinumerous and the number of paths in either class is the little Schroeder number a(n) (half the big Schroeder number). - Marcelo Aguiar (maguiar(AT)math.tamu.edu), Oct 14 2005
With offset 0, a(n) = number of (colored) Motzkin (n-1)-paths with each upstep U getting one of 2 colors and each flatstep F getting one of 3 colors. Example. With their colors immediately following upsteps/flatsteps, a(2) = 3 counts F1, F2, F3 and a(3)=11 counts U1D, U2D, F1F1, F1F2, F1F3, F2F1, F2F2, F2F3, F3F1, F3F2, F3F3. - David Callan, Aug 16 2006
Shifts left when INVERT transform applied twice. - Alois P. Heinz, Apr 01 2009
Number of increasing tableaux of shape (n,n). An increasing tableau is a semistandard tableaux with strictly increasing rows and columns, and set of entries an initial segment of the positive integers. Example: a(2) = 3 because of the three tableaux (12)(34), (13)(24), (12)(23). - Oliver Pechenik, Apr 22 2014
Number of ordered trees with no vertex of outdegree 1 and having n+1 leaves (called sometimes Schröder trees). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 13 2014
Number of dissections of a convex (n+2)-gon by nonintersecting diagonals. Example: a(2)=3 because for a square ABCD we have (i) no diagonal, (ii) dissection with diagonal AC, and (iii) dissection with diagonal BD. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 13 2014
The little Schroeder numbers are the moments of the Marchenko-Pastur law for the case c=2 (although the moment m0 is 1/2 instead of 1): 1/2, 1, 3, 11, 45, 197, 903, ...  - Jose-Javier Martinez, Apr 07 2015
Number of generalized Motzkin paths with no level steps at height 0, from (0,0) to (2n,0), and consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H2=(2,0). For example, for n=3, we have the 11 paths: UDUDUD, UUDDUD, UDUUDD, UH2DUD, UDUH2D, UH2H2D, UUDUDD, UUUDDD, UUH2DD, UUDH2D, UH2UDD. - José Luis Ramírez Ramírez, Apr 20 2015
REVERT transform of A225883. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Oct 25 2015
Total number of (nonempty) faces of all dimensions in the associahedron K_{n+1} of dimension n-1. For example, K_4 (a pentagon) includes 5 vertices and 5 edges together with K_4 itself (5 + 5 + 1 = 11), while K_5 includes 14 vertices, 21 edges and 9 faces together with K_5 itself (14 + 21 + 9 + 1 = 45). - Noam Zeilberger, Sep 17 2018
a(n) is the number of interval posets of permutations with n minimal elements that have exactly two realizers, up to a shift by 1 in a(4). See M. Bouvel, L. Cioni, B. Izart, Theorem 17 page 13. - Mathilde Bouvel, Oct 21 2021
a(n) is the number of sequences of nonnegative integers (u_1, u_2, ..., u_n) such that (i) u_1 = 1, (ii) u_i <= i for all i, (iii) the nonzero u_i are weakly increasing. For example, a(2) = 3 counts 10, 11, 12, and a(3) = 11 counts 100, 101, 102, 103, 110, 111, 112, 113, 120, 122, 123. See link below. - David Callan, Dec 19 2021
a(n) is the number of parking functions of size n avoiding the patterns 132 and 213. - Lara Pudwell, Apr 10 2023
a(n+1) is the number of Schroeder paths from (0,0) to (2n,0) in which level steps at height 0 come in 2 colors. - Alexander Burstein, Jul 23 2023

			G.f. = 1 + x + 3*x^2 + 11*x^3 + 45*x^4 + 197*x^5 + 903*x^6 + 4279*x^7 + ...
a(2) = 3: abc, a(bc), (ab)c; a(3) = 11: abcd, (ab)cd, a(bc)d, ab(cd), (ab)(cd), a(bcd), a(b(cd)), a((bc)d), (abc)d, (a(bc))d, ((ab)c)d.
Sum over partitions formula: a(3) = 2*a(0)*a(2) + 1*a(1)^2 + 3*(a(0)^2)*a(1) + 1*a(0)^4 = 6 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 11.
a(4) = 45 since the top row of Q^3 = (11, 14, 12, 8, 0, 0, 0, ...); (11 + 14 + 12 + 8) = 45.

The correct asymptotic for this sequence is a(n) ~ W*(3+sqrt(8))^n*n^(-3/2), where W = (1+sqrt(2))/(2*2^(3/4)*sqrt(Pi)) = 0.404947065905750651736243... Result in book by D. Knuth (p. 539 of 3rd edition, exercise 12) is for sequence b(n), but a(n) = b(n+1)/2. Therefore is asymptotic a(n) ~ b(n) * (3+sqrt(8))/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 09 2012

For n > 0, a(n) = (1/(n+1)) * Sum_{k = 0 .. n-1} binomial(2*n-k, n) * binomial(n-1, k). This formula counts colored Dyck paths (as above) by number of white vertices. - David Callan, Mar 14 2004

Related to Schröder's second problem.
A001006 gives number of ways of drawing any number of nonintersecting chords between n points on a circle, while this sequence gives number of ways of drawing noncrossing chords between n points on a circle. The difference is that nonintersection chords have no point in common, while noncrossing chords may share an endpoint. - David W. Wilson, Jan 30 2003
For n>0, a(n) = number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n-1,n-1) that consist of steps (i,j), i,j nonnegative integers not both 0 and that stay strictly below the line y=x except at their endpoints. For example, a(3)=8 counts the paths with following step sequences: {(2, 2)}, {(2, 1), (0, 1)}, {(2, 0), (0, 2)}, {(2, 0), (0, 1), (0, 1)}, {(1, 0), (1, 2)}, {(1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)}, {(1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 2)}, {(1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1), (0, 1)}. If the word "strictly" is replaced by "weakly", the counting sequence becomes A059435. - David Callan, Jun 07 2006
The nodes on the circle are distinguished by their positions but are otherwise unlabeled. - Lee A. Newberg, Aug 09 2011
From Gus Wiseman, Jun 22 2019: (Start)
Conjecture: Also the number of simple graphs with vertices {1..n} not containing any pair of nesting edges. Two edges {a,b}, {c,d} where a < b and c < d are nesting if a < c and b > d or a > c and b < d. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 8 non-nesting edge-sets are:
  {}  {}  {}    {}
          {12}  {12}
                {13}
                {23}
                {12,13}
                {12,23}
                {13,23}
                {12,13,23}

Hankel transform is 8^C(n+1,2). - Philippe Deléham, Feb 04 2009

a(n-1) is also the number of ways a list of n items can be grouped into nested sublists (e.g., [a b c] to [a b c], [[a] b c], [[a, b] c], [[a [b]] c], and so on). - Ryan Tosh, Nov 10 2021

Sequence given by the Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of A082147 = {1, 1, 9, 89, 945, 10577, 123129, 1476841, ...}; example: det([1, 1, 9, 89; 1, 9, 89, 945; 9, 89, 945, 10577; 89, 945, 10577, 123129]) = 8^6 = 262144.

The number of labeled multigraphs on n vertices such that (i) no self loops are allowed; (ii) all edges are painted in one of 3 colors; (iii) edges between any pair of vertices are painted in distinct colors. Note, this implies that there are at most 3 edges between any vertex pair. Also note there is no restriction on the color of edges incident to a common vertex. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 14 2020

The outer diagonal is A059435.
The second outer diagonal is A090442.
The third outer diagonal is essentially 2*A068766.
The first column is A011782.
The second column is essentially A057711 (not considering its first two terms).
The second column is essentially A129952 (not considering its first two terms).
The second column is essentially 2*A001792.
The differences between the terms of the second column is essentially 2*A045623.
The third column is essentially 4*A084266.
The cumulative sums of the third column are essentially 4*A176027.
T(n,k) = 0 for n < k. If this overriding constraint is not applied, you get A059576. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jul 24 2011
For n >= 2 and 1 <= k <= n, T(n,k) is the number of bimonotone subdivisions of a 2-row grid with n points on the first row and k points on the second row (with the lower left point of the grid being the origin). A bimonotone subdivision of a convex polygon (the convex hull of the grid) is one where the internal dividing lines have nonnegative (including infinite) slopes. See Robeva and Sun (2020). - Petros Hadjicostas and Michel Marcus, Jul 15 2020
