Number of solutions to the rook problem on a 2n X 2n board having a certain symmetry group (see Robinson for details).
Also the value of the n-th derivative of exp(x^2) evaluated at 1. - N. Calkin, Apr 22 2010
For n >= 1, a(n) is also the sum of the degrees of the irreducible representations of the group of n X n signed permutation matrices (described in sequence A066051). The similar sum for the "ordinary" symmetric group S_n is in sequence A000085. - Sharon Sela (sharonsela(AT)hotmail.com), Jan 12 2002
It appears that this is also the number of permutations of 1, 2, ..., n+1 such that each term (after the first) is within 2 of some preceding term. Verified for n+1 <= 6. E.g., a(4) = 20 because of the 24 permutations of 1, 2, 3, 4, the only ones not permitted are 1, 4, 2, 3; 1, 4, 3, 2; 4, 1, 2, 3; and 4, 1, 3, 2. - Gerry Myerson, Aug 06 2003
Hankel transform is A108400. - Paul Barry, Feb 11 2008
From Emeric Deutsch, Jun 19 2010: (Start)
Number of symmetric involutions of [2n]. Example: a(2)=6 because we have 1234, 2143, 1324, 3412, 4231, and 4321. See the Egge reference, pp. 419-420.
Number of symmetric involutions of [2n+1]. Example: a(2)=6 because we have 12345, 14325, 21354, 45312, 52341, and 54321. See the Egge reference, pp. 419-420.

The sequence can be obtained from the infinite product of 2 X 2 matrices [(1,N); (1,1)] by extracting the upper left terms, where N = (1, 3, 5, ...), the odd integers. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 28 2016

The metric dimension of a graph is the least number of nodes needed to characterize uniquely any other vertex by its vector of distances to those nodes. Determining the metric dimension of a general graph is a known NP-complete problem. It is not known, however, whether or not the metric dimension of hypercubes is NP-complete.
The nondecreasing sequence a(n) provides the metric dimension of the n-dimensional hypercube (i.e., with 2^n vertices) for 1 <= n <= 10, computed by brute force. Using an approximation algorithm, Mladenović et al. claim that the next seven terms in the sequence are 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10.
Observation: first 11 terms coincide with A187103. - Omar E. Pol, Apr 29 2018 [updated by Pontus von Brömssen, Apr 06 2023]
Independent Verfication: Using the MaxSat solver RC2 (Ignatiev et al., 2019), and symmetry breaking constraints, I have verified the first 10 terms. In the previous references given, it is not clear which of the terms have been verified and which only have upper bounds verified. - Victor S. Miller, Mar 27 2023

Examples

			The metric dimension of a complete graph on n vertices (denoted as K_n) is (n - 1). For n = 1 the hypercube is isomorphic to K_2, so a(1)=1.
For n = 2, the hypercube has vertices (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), and (1,1), which form a simple cycle. Since each of these nodes has two other nodes at the same distance from it, a(2) >= 2. Using nodes (0,1) and (1,1) to encode all nodes by their distance to these two nodes, we find that (0,0) <-> (1,2); (0,1) <-> (0,1); (1,0) <-> (2,1); and (1,1) <-> (1,0). Since the vectors of distances (1,2), (0,1), (2,1), and (1,0) are all different, a(2) = 2.
