a(n) is also the size of the automorphism group of the graph (edge graph) of the n-dimensional hypercube and also of the geometric automorphism group of the hypercube (the two groups are isomorphic). This group is an extension of an elementary Abelian group (C_2)^n by S_n. (C_2 is the cyclic group with two elements and S_n is the symmetric group.) - Avi Peretz (njk(AT)netvision.net.il), Feb 21 2001
Then a(n) appears in the power series: sqrt(1+sin(y)) = Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^floor(n/2)*y^(n)/a(n) and sqrt((1+cos(y))/2) = Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*y^(2n)/a(2n). - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 02 2002
Appears to be the BinomialMean transform of A001907. See A075271. - John W. Layman, Sep 28 2002
Number of n X n monomial matrices with entries 0, +-1.
Also number of linear signed orders.
Define a "downgrade" to be the permutation d which places the items of a permutation p in descending order. This note concerns those permutations that are equal to their double-downgrades. The number of permutations of order 2n having this property are equinumerous with those of order 2n+1. a(n) = number of double-downgrading permutations of order 2n and 2n+1. - Eugene McDonnell (eemcd(AT)mac.com), Oct 27 2003
a(n) = (Integral_{x=0..Pi/2} cos(x)^(2*n+1) dx) where the denominators are b(n) = (2*n)!/(n!*2^n). - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)excite.com), Mar 02 2004
1 + (1/2)x - (1/8)x^2 - (1/48)x^3 + (1/384)x^4 + ... = sqrt(1+sin(x)).
a(n)*(-1)^n = coefficient of the leading term of the (n+1)-th derivative of arctan(x), see Hildebrand link. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 14 2006
a(n) is the Pfaffian of the skew-symmetric 2n X 2n matrix whose (i,j) entry is j for iDavid Callan, Sep 25 2006
a(n) is the number of increasing plane trees with n+1 edges. (In a plane tree, each subtree of the root is an ordered tree but the subtrees of the root may be cyclically rotated.) Increasing means the vertices are labeled 0,1,2,...,n+1 and each child has a greater label than its parent. Cf. A001147 for increasing ordered trees, A000142 for increasing unordered trees and A000111 for increasing 0-1-2 trees. - David Callan, Dec 22 2006
Hamed Hatami and Pooya Hatami prove that this is an upper bound on the cardinality of any minimal dominating set in C_{2n+1}^n, the Cartesian product of n copies of the cycle of size 2n+1, where 2n+1 is a prime. - Jonathan Vos Post, Jan 03 2007
This sequence and (1,-2,0,0,0,0,...) form a reciprocal pair under the list partition transform and associated operations described in A133314. - Tom Copeland, Oct 29 2007
a(n) = number of permutations of the multiset {1,1,2,2,...,n,n,n+1,n+1} such that between the two occurrences of i, there is exactly one entry >i, for i=1,2,...,n. Example: a(2) = 8 counts 121323, 131232, 213123, 231213, 232131, 312132, 321312, 323121. Proof: There is always exactly one entry between the two 1s (when n>=1). Given a permutation p in A(n) (counted by a(n)), record the position i of the first 1, then delete both 1s and subtract 1 from every entry to get a permutation q in A(n-1). The mapping p -> (i,q) is a bijection from A(n) to the Cartesian product [1,2n] X A(n-1). - David Callan, Nov 29 2007
Row sums of A028338. - Paul Barry, Feb 07 2009
a(n) is the number of ways to seat n married couples in a row so that everyone is next to their spouse. Compare A007060. - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 29 2009
From Gary W. Adamson, Apr 21 2009: (Start)
Equals (-1)^n * (1, 1, 2, 8, 48, ...) dot (1, -3, 5, -7, 9, ...).
Example: a(4) = 384 = (1, 1, 2, 8, 48) dot (1, -3, 5, -7, 9) = (1, -3, 10, -56, 432). (End)
exp(x/2) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n/a(n). - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Sep 07 2009
Assuming n starts at 0, a(n) appears to be the number of Gray codes on n bits. It certainly is the number of Gray codes on n bits isomorphic to the canonical one. Proof: There are 2^n different starting positions for each code. Also, each code has a particular pattern of bit positions that are flipped (for instance, 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 for n=3), and these bit position patterns can be permuted in n! ways. - D. J. Schreffler (ds1404(AT)txstate.edu), Jul 18 2010
E.g.f. of 0,1,2,8,... is x/(1-2x/(2-2x/(3-8x/(4-8x/(5-18x/(6-18x/(7-... (continued fraction). - Paul Barry, Jan 17 2011
Number of increasing 2-colored trees with choice of two colors for each edge. In general, if we replace 2 with k we get the number of increasing k-colored trees. For example, for k=3 we get the triple factorial numbers. - Wenjin Woan, May 31 2011
a(n) = row sums of triangle A193229. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 18 2011
Also the number of permutations of 2n (or of 2n+1) that are equal to their reverse-complements. (See the Egge reference.) Note that the double-downgrade described in the preceding comment (McDonnell) is equivalent to the reverse-complement. - Justin M. Troyka, Aug 11 2011
The e.g.f. can be used to form a generator, [1/(1-2x)] d/dx, for A000108, so a(n) can be applied to A145271 to generate the Catalan numbers. - Tom Copeland, Oct 01 2011
The e.g.f. of 1/a(n) is BesselI(0,sqrt(2*x)). See Abramowitz-Stegun (reference and link under A008277), p. 375, 9.6.10. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 09 2012

Row sums of triangle A208057. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 22 2012
a(n) is the number of ways to designate a subset of elements in each n-permutation. a(n) = A000142(n) + A001563(n) + A001804(n) + A001805(n) + A001806(n) + A001807(n) + A035038(n) * n!. - Geoffrey Critzer, Nov 08 2012

Exponential self-convolution of A001147. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Oct 08 2016
Also the order of the automorphism group of the n-ladder rung graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Jul 22 2017
a(n) is the order of the group O_n(Z) = {A in M_n(Z): A*A^T = I_n}, the group of n X n orthogonal matrices over the integers. - Jianing Song, Mar 29 2021
a(n) is the number of ways to tile a (3n,3n)-benzel or a (3n+1,3n+2)-benzel using left stones and two kinds of bones; see Defant et al., below. - James Propp, Jul 22 2023

a(n)/A001147 gives an approximation for Pi/2 with (n-1)/3 + 1 digits of accuracy. - Aaron Kastel, Nov 13 2012

a(n) is the number of linear chord diagrams on 2n vertices with one marked chord such that none of the remaining n-1 chords are excluded by (i.e., are outside and do not contain) the marked chord, see [Young]. - Donovan Young, Aug 11 2020

a(n) = (2n-1)*a(n-1) + (n-1)!. - Aaron Kastel, Nov 13 2012
From Peter Bala, Jun 21 2013: (Start)
a(n) = (2*n)!/(n!*2^n)*(Sum_{k = 0..n-1} 2^k*k!^2/(2*k+1)!). Thus a(n)/ ((2*n)!/(n!*2^n)) -> Pi/2 as n -> infinity since Sum_{k >= 0} 2^k*k!^2/(2*k+1)! = Pi/2.
It appears that a(n) = Sum_{k = 1..n} 2^(k-1)*(k-1)!*(n+k-1)!/(2*k-1)!. Cf. A167571.
a(n) = (2*n)!/(n!*2^n)*(Pi/2) - 2^(n+1)*n!*(Integral_{x = 0..1} x^(2*n)/(1 + x^2)^(n+1) dx). Cf. A068102. (End)
From Peter Bala, Feb 18 2015: (Start)
Recurrence equation: a(n) = (3*n - 2)*a(n-1) - (n - 1)*(2*n - 3)*a(n-2) with a(1) = 1 and a(2) = 4.
The sequence b(n) = A001147(n), beginning [1, 3, 15, 105, 945, ... ], satisfies the same second-order recurrence equation. This leads to the generalized continued fraction expansion lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/b(n) = Pi/2 = 1 + 1/(3 - 6/(7 - 15/(10 - ... - n*(2*n - 1)/((3*n + 1) - ... )))). (End)
E.g.f.: arctan(x/sqrt(1 - 2*x))/sqrt(1 - 2*x). - Donovan Young, Aug 11 2020
From Sela Fried, Apr 13 2023: (Start)
a(n) = (n - 1)!*Sum_{k=0..n - 1} binomial(2*n - 1, 2*k)/binomial(n - 1, k).
a(n)/(n-1)! = 1 + (2*n - 1)/2*Integral_{t = 0..Pi/2} (1 + sin(2*t))^(n - 1) - (1 - sin(2*t))^(n - 1)dt.
Bala's conjecture is true. (End)
a(n) ~ Pi * 2^(n - 1/2) * n^n / exp(n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 13 2023
a(n) = (n - 1)!/2 * Sum_{k=0..n - 1} binomial(2*n, 2*k + 1)/binomial(n - 1, k). - Sela Fried, May 18 2023
