The first line cuts the pancake into 2 pieces. For n > 1, the n-th line crosses every earlier line (avoids parallelism) and also avoids every previous line intersection, thus increasing the number of pieces by n. For 16 lines, for example, the number of pieces is 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... + 16 = 137. These are the triangular numbers plus 1 (cf. A000217).
m = (n-1)(n-2)/2 + 1 is also the smallest number of edges such that all graphs with n nodes and m edges are connected. - Keith Briggs, May 14 2004
Also maximal number of grandchildren of a binary vector of length n+2. E.g., a binary vector of length 6 can produce at most 11 different vectors when 2 bits are deleted.
This is also the order dimension of the (strong) Bruhat order on the finite Coxeter group B_{n+1}. - Nathan Reading (reading(AT)math.umn.edu), Mar 07 2002

For n >= 1 a(n) is the number of terms in the expansion of (x+y)*(x^2+y^2)*(x^3+y^3)*...*(x^n+y^n). - Yuval Dekel (dekelyuval(AT)hotmail.com), Jul 28 2003
Also the number of terms in (1)(x+1)(x^2+x+1)...(x^n+...+x+1); see A000140.
Narayana transform (analog of the binomial transform) of vector [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...] = A000124; using the infinite lower Narayana triangle of A001263 (as a matrix), N; then N * [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...] = A000124. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 28 2005
Number of interval subsets of {1, 2, 3, ..., n} (cf. A002662). - Jose Luis Arregui (arregui(AT)unizar.es), Jun 27 2006
Define a number of straight lines in the plane to be in general arrangement when (1) no two lines are parallel, (2) there is no point common to three lines. Then these are the maximal numbers of regions defined by n straight lines in general arrangement in the plane. - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Oct 19 2006
Note that a(n) = a(n-1) + A000027(n-1). This has the following geometrical interpretation: Suppose there are already n-1 lines in general arrangement, thus defining the maximal number of regions in the plane obtainable by n-1 lines and now one more line is added in general arrangement. Then it will cut each of the n-1 lines and acquire intersection points which are in general arrangement. (See the comments on A000027 for general arrangement with points.) These points on the new line define the maximal number of regions in 1-space definable by n-1 points, hence this is A000027(n-1), where for A000027 an offset of 0 is assumed, that is, A000027(n-1) = (n+1)-1 = n. Each of these regions acts as a dividing wall, thereby creating as many new regions in addition to the a(n-1) regions already there, hence a(n) = a(n-1) + A000027(n-1). Cf. the comments on A000125 for an analogous interpretation. - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Oct 19 2006
When constructing a zonohedron, one zone at a time, out of (up to) 3-d non-intersecting parallelepipeds, the n-th element of this sequence is the number of edges in the n-th zone added with the n-th "layer" of parallelepipeds. (Verified up to 10-zone zonohedron, the enneacontahedron.) E.g., adding the 10th zone to the enneacontahedron requires 46 parallel edges (edges in the 10th zone) by looking directly at a 5-valence vertex and counting visible vertices. - Shel Kaphan, Feb 16 2006
Binomial transform of (1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...) and inverse binomial transform of A072863: (1, 3, 9, 26, 72, 192, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 15 2007

Also number of distinct sums of 1 through n where each of those can be + or -. E.g., {1+2,1-2,-1+2,-1-2} = {3,-1,1,-3} and a(2) = 4. - Toby Gottfried, Nov 17 2011
This sequence is complete because the sum of the first n terms is always greater than or equal to a(n+1)-1. Consequently, any nonnegative number can be written as a sum of distinct terms of this sequence. See A204009, A072638. - Frank M Jackson, Jan 09 2012
The sequence is the number of distinct sums of subsets of the nonnegative integers, and its first differences are the positive integers. See A208531 for similar results for the squares. - John W. Layman, Feb 28 2012

n points in general position determine "n choose 2" lines, so A055503(n) <= a(n(n-1)/2). If n > 3, the lines are not in general position and so A055503(n) < a(n(n-1)/2). - Jonathan Sondow, Dec 01 2015

From Klaus Purath, Jan 29 2020: (Start)
The odd prime factors != 7 occur in an interval of p successive terms either never or exactly twice, while 7 always occurs only once. If a prime factor p appears in a(n) and a(m) within such an interval, then n + m == -1 (mod p). When 7 divides a(n), then 2*n == -1 (mod 7). a(n) is never divisible by the prime numbers given in A003625.
While all prime factors p != 7 can occur to any power, a(n) is never divisible by 7^2. The prime factors are given in A045373. The prime terms of this sequence are given in A055469.

a(n-1) is the greatest sum of arch lengths for the top arches of a semi-meander with n arches. An arch length is the number of arches covered + 1.
      /\   The top arch has a length of 3.  /\   The top arch has a length of 3.
     /  \  Both bottom arches have a       //\\  The middle arch has a length of 2.
    //\/\\ length of 1.                   ///\\\ The bottom arch has a length of 1.

For n> 0, let the n-dimensional cube {0,1}^n be, provided with the Hamming distance, d. Given an element x in {0,1}^n, a(n) is the number of elements y in {0,1}^n such that d(x, y) <= 2. Example: n = 4. (0,0,0,0), (1,0,0,0), (0,1,0,0), (0,0,1,0), (0,0,0,1), (0,0,1,1), (0,1,0,1), (0,1,1,0), (1,0,0,1), (1,0,1,0), (1,1,0,0) are at distance <= 2 from (0,0,0,0), so a(4) = 11. - Yosu Yurramendi, Dec 10 2021

a(n+4) is the number of ways to tile an equilateral triangle of side length 2*n with smaller equilateral triangles of side length n and side length 1. For example, with n=2, there are 22 ways to tile an equilateral triangle of side length 4 with smaller ones of sides 2 and 1, including the one tiling with sixteen triangles of sides 1 and the one tiling with four triangles of sides 2. - Ahmed ElKhatib and Greg Dresden, Aug 19 2024
Define a "hatpin" to be the planar graph consisting of a distinguished point (called the "head") and a semi-infinite line from that point. The maximum number of regions than can be formed by drawing n hatpins is a(n-1). See link for the case n = 4. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 25 2025

From Klaus Purath, Mar 18 2019: (Start)
Let m be a(n) or a prime factor of a(n). Then, except for 1 and 5, there are, if m is a prime, exactly two squares y^2 such that the difference y^2 - m contains exactly one pair of factors {x,z} such that the following applies: x*z = y^2 - m, x + y = z with
x < y, where {x,y,z} are relatively prime numbers. {x,y,z} are the initial values of a sequence of the Fibonacci type. Thus each a(n) > 5, if it is a prime, and each prime factor p > 5 of an a(n) can be assigned to exactly two sequences of the Fibonacci type. a(0) = 1 belongs to the original Fibonacci sequence and a(1) = 5 to the Lucas sequence.
But also the reverse assignment applies. From any sequence (f(i)) of the Fibonacci type we get from its 3 initial values by f(i)^2 - f(i-1)*f(i+1) with f(i-1) < f(i) a term a(n) or a prime factor p of a(n). This relation is also valid for any i. In this case we get the absolute value |a(n)| or |p|. (End)

a(n+1) is the number of wedged n-dimensional spheres in the homotopy of the neighborhood complex of Kneser graph KG_{2,n}.

[2*(5*n^2 + 1)-int(n==0) for n in range(56)] # G. C. Greubel, May 25 2023

G.f.: (1+x)*(1+8*x+x^2)/(1-x)^3. - Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation
G.f. for coordination sequence for A_n lattice is (1-z)^(-n) *  Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(n, i)^2*z^i. [Bacher et al.]
a(n+1) = A027599(n+2) + A092277(n+1) - Creighton Dement, Feb 11 2005
a(n) = 2 + A033583(n), n >= 1. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 18 2012
a(n) = 12 + 24*(n-1) + 8*A000217(n-2) + 6*A000290(n-1). The properties of the cuboctahedron, namely, its number of vertices (12), edges (24), and faces as well as face-type (8 triangles and 6 squares), are involved in this formula. - Peter M. Chema, Mar 26 2017
a(n) = A062786(n) + A062786(n+1). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 28 2018
E.g.f.: -1 + 2*(1 + 5*x + 5*x^2)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, May 25 2023
Sum{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 3/4 + Pi*sqrt(5)*coth(Pi/sqrt 5)/20 = 1.14624... - R. J. Mathar, Apr 27 2024
