2^0 = 1 is the only odd power of 2.
Number of subsets of an n-set.
There are 2^(n-1) compositions (ordered partitions) of n (see for example Riordan). This is the unlabeled analog of the preferential labelings sequence A000670.
This is also the number of weakly unimodal permutations of 1..n + 1, that is, permutations with exactly one local maximum. E.g., a(4) = 16: 12345, 12354, 12453, 12543, 13452, 13542, 14532 and 15432 and their reversals. - Jon Perry, Jul 27 2003 [Proof: see next line! See also A087783.]
Proof: n must appear somewhere and there are 2^(n-1) possible choices for the subset that precedes it. These must appear in increasing order and the rest must follow n in decreasing order. QED. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 26 2003
a(n+1) is the smallest number that is not the sum of any number of (distinct) earlier terms.
Same as Pisot sequences E(1, 2), L(1, 2), P(1, 2), T(1, 2). See A008776 for definitions of Pisot sequences.
With initial 1 omitted, same as Pisot sequences E(2, 4), L(2, 4), P(2, 4), T(2, 4). - David W. Wilson
Not the sum of two or more consecutive numbers. - Lekraj Beedassy, May 14 2004
Least deficient or near-perfect numbers (i.e., n such that sigma(n) = A000203(n) = 2n - 1). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jun 03 2004. [Comment from Max Alekseyev, Jan 26 2005: All the powers of 2 are least deficient numbers but it is not known if there exists a least deficient number that is not a power of 2.]
Almost-perfect numbers referred to as least deficient or slightly defective (Singh 1997) numbers. Does "near-perfect numbers" refer to both almost-perfect numbers (sigma(n) = 2n - 1) and quasi-perfect numbers (sigma(n) = 2n + 1)? There are no known quasi-perfect or least abundant or slightly excessive (Singh 1997) numbers.
The sum of the numbers in the n-th row of Pascal's triangle; the sum of the coefficients of x in the expansion of (x+1)^n.
The Collatz conjecture (the hailstone sequence will eventually reach the number 1, regardless of which positive integer is chosen initially) may be restated as (the hailstone sequence will eventually reach a power of 2, regardless of which positive integer is chosen initially).
The only hailstone sequence which doesn't rebound (except "on the ground"). - Alexandre Wajnberg, Jan 29 2005
With p(n) as the number of integer partitions of n, p(i) is the number of parts of the i-th partition of n, d(i) is the number of different parts of the i-th partition of n, m(i,j) is the multiplicity of the j-th part of the i-th partition of n, one has: a(n) = Sum_{i = 1..p(n)} (p(i)! / (Product_{j=1..d(i)} m(i,j)!)). - Thomas Wieder, May 18 2005
The number of binary relations on an n-element set that are both symmetric and antisymmetric. Also the number of binary relations on an n-element set that are symmetric, antisymmetric and transitive.
The first differences are the sequence itself. - Alexandre Wajnberg and Eric Angelini, Sep 07 2005

For n >= 1, a(n) is equal to the number of functions f:{1, 2, ..., n} -> {1, 2} such that for a fixed x in {1, 2, ..., n} and a fixed y in {1, 2} we have f(x) != y. - Aleksandar M. Janjic and Milan Janjic, Mar 27 2007
Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n) is the number of pairs of elements {x,y} of P(A) for which x = y. - Ross La Haye, Jan 09 2008
a(n) is the number of permutations on [n+1] such that every initial segment is an interval of integers. Example: a(3) counts 1234, 2134, 2314, 2341, 3214, 3241, 3421, 4321. The map "p -> ascents of p" is a bijection from these permutations to subsets of [n]. An ascent of a permutation p is a position i such that p(i) < p(i+1). The permutations shown map to 123, 23, 13, 12, 3, 2, 1 and the empty set respectively. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008
2^(n-1) is the largest number having n divisors (in the sense of A077569); A005179(n) is the smallest. - T. D. Noe, Sep 02 2008
a(n) appears to match the number of divisors of the modified primorials (excluding 2, 3 and 5). Very limited range examined, PARI example shown. - Bill McEachen, Oct 29 2008
Successive k such that phi(k)/k = 1/2, where phi is Euler's totient function. - Artur Jasinski, Nov 07 2008
A classical transform consists (for general a(n)) in swapping a(2n) and a(2n+1); examples for Jacobsthal A001045 and successive differences: A092808, A094359, A140505. a(n) = A000079 leads to 2, 1, 8, 4, 32, 16, ... = A135520. - Paul Curtz, Jan 05 2009
This is also the (L)-sieve transform of {2, 4, 6, 8, ..., 2n, ...} = A005843. (See A152009 for the definition of the (L)-sieve transform.) - John W. Layman, Jan 23 2009

Permutations of n+1 elements where no element is more than one position right of its original place. For example, there are 4 such permutations of three elements: 123, 132, 213, and 312. The 8 such permutations of four elements are 1234, 1243, 1324, 1423, 2134, 2143, 3124, and 4123. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 24 2009
Catalan transform of A099087. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 29 2009
a(n) written in base 2: 1,10,100,1000,10000,..., i.e., (n+1) times 1, n times 0 (A011557(n)). - Jaroslav Krizek, Aug 02 2009
Or, phi(n) is equal to the number of perfect partitions of n. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Oct 10 2009
These are the 2-smooth numbers, positive integers with no prime factors greater than 2. - Michael B. Porter, Oct 04 2009
A064614(a(n)) = A000244(n) and A064614(m) < A000244(n) for m < a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 08 2010
a(n) is the largest number m such that the number of steps of iterations of {r - (largest divisor d < r)} needed to reach 1 starting at r = m is equal to n. Example (a(5) = 32): 32 - 16 = 16; 16 - 8 = 8; 8 - 4 = 4; 4 - 2 = 2; 2 - 1 = 1; number 32 has 5 steps and is the largest such number. See A105017, A064097, A175125. - Jaroslav Krizek, Feb 15 2010

The first left hand diagonal T(n, 0) = A006125(n + 1), the first right hand diagonal T(n, n) = A036442(n + 1) and the center diagonal T(2*n, n) = A053765(n + 1). Some triangle sums, see A180662, are: Row1(n) = A122743(n), Row2(n) = A181174(n), Fi1(n) = A181175(n), Fi2(2*n) = A181175(2*n) and Fi2(2*n + 1) = 2*A181175(2*n + 1). - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 10 2010

a(n) is the largest number k such that (k^n-2)/(k-2) is an integer (for n > 1); (k^a(n)+1)/(k+1) is never an integer (for k > 1 and n > 0). - Derek Orr, May 22 2014
If x = A083420(n), y = a(n+1) and z = A087289(n), then x^2 + 2*y^2 = z^2. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 09 2014
The mini-sequence b(n) = least number k > 0 such that 2^k ends in n identical digits is given by {1, 18, 39}. The repeating digits are {2, 4, 8} respectively. Note that these are consecutive powers of 2 (2^1, 2^2, 2^3), and these are the only powers of 2 (2^k, k > 0) that are only one digit. Further, this sequence is finite. The number of n-digit endings for a power of 2 with n or more digits id 4*5^(n-1). Thus, for b(4) to exist, one only needs to check exponents up to 4*5^3 = 500. Since b(4) does not exist, it is clear that no other number will exist. - Derek Orr, Jun 14 2014
The least number k > 0 such that 2^k ends in n consecutive decreasing digits is a 3-number sequence given by {1, 5, 25}. The consecutive decreasing digits are {2, 32, 432}. There are 100 different 3-digit endings for 2^k. There are no k-values such that 2^k ends in '987', '876', '765', '654', '543', '321', or '210'. The k-values for which 2^k ends in '432' are given by 25 mod 100. For k = 25 + 100*x, the digit immediately before the run of '432' is {4, 6, 8, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2, ...} for x = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ...}, respectively. Thus, we see the digit before '432' will never be a 5. So, this sequence is complete. - Derek Orr, Jul 03 2014
a(n) is the number of permutations of length n avoiding both 231 and 321 in the classical sense which are breadth-first search reading words of increasing unary-binary trees. For more details, see the entry for permutations avoiding 231 at A245898. - Manda Riehl, Aug 05 2014
Numbers n such that sigma(n) = sigma(2n) - phi(4n). - Farideh Firoozbakht, Aug 14 2014
This is a B_2 sequence: for i < j, differences a(j) - a(i) are all distinct. Here 2*a(n) < a(n+1) + 1, so a(n) - a(0) < a(n+1) - a(n). - Thomas Ordowski, Sep 23 2014
a(n) counts n-walks (closed) on the graph G(1-vertex; 1-loop, 1-loop). - David Neil McGrath, Dec 11 2014

Number of monotone maps f : [0..n] -> [0..n] which are order-increasing (i <= f(i)) and idempotent (f(f(i)) = f(i)). In other words, monads on the n-th ordinal (seen as a posetal category). Any monad f determines a subset of [0..n] that contains n, by considering its set of monad algebras = fixed points { i | f(i) = i }. Conversely, any subset S of [0..n] containing n determines a monad on [0..n], by the function i |-> min { j | i <= j, j in S }. - Noam Zeilberger, Dec 11 2016
Consider n points lying on a circle. Then for n>=2 a(n-2) gives the number of ways to connect two adjacent points with nonintersecting chords. - Anton Zakharov, Dec 31 2016

From "The Guinness Book of Primes": "During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the largest known prime number was the number of grains of rice on the chessboard up to and including the nineteenth square: 524,287 [= 2^19 - 1]. By the time Lord Nelson was fighting the Battle of Trafalgar, the record for the largest prime had gone up to the thirty-first square of the chessboard: 2,147,483,647 [= 2^31 - 1]. This ten-digits number was proved to be prime in 1772 by the Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler, and it held the record until 1867." [du Sautoy] - Robert G. Wilson v, Nov 26 2013

Theorem. Let b = 2^p - 1 (where p is a prime). Then b is a Mersenne prime iff (c = 2^p - 2 is totient or a term of A002202). Otherwise, if c is (nontotient or a term of A005277) then b is composite. Proof. Trivial, since, while b = v^g - 1 where v is even, v > 2, g is an integer, g > 1, b is always composite, and c = v^g - 2 is nontotient (or a term of A005277), and so is for any composite b = 2^g - 1 (in the last case, c = v^g - 2 is also nontotient, or a term of A005277). - Sergey Pavlov, Aug 30 2021 [Disclaimer: This proof has not been checked. - N.

Runs of successive numbers have lengths which are powers of 4.
Apparently, for any m>=1, 2^m is the largest power of 2 dividing sum(k=1,n,binomial(2k,k)^m) if and only if n is in the sequence. - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 27 2003
Numbers that begin with a 1 in base 4. - Michel Marcus, Dec 05 2013
The lower and upper asymptotic densities of this sequence are 1/3 and 2/3, respectively. - Amiram Eldar, Feb 01 2021

Number of walks of length 2*n+2 between any two diametrically opposite vertices of the cycle graph C_8. - Herbert Kociemba, Jul 02 2004
If we consider a(4*k+2), then 2^4 == 3^4 == 3 (mod 13); 2^(4*k+2) + 3^(4*k+2) == 3^k*(4+9) == 3*0 == 0 (mod 13). So a(4*k+2) can never be prime. - Jose Brox, Dec 27 2005
If k is odd, then a(n*k) is divisible by a(n), since: a(n*k) = (2^n)^k + (3^n)^k = (2^n + 3^n)*((2^n)^(k-1) - (2^n)^(k-2) (3^n) + - ... + (3^n)^(k-1)). So the only possible primes in the sequence are a(0) and a(2^n) for n>=1. I've checked that a(2^n) is composite for 3 <= n <= 15. As with Fermat primes, a probabilistic argument suggests that there are only finitely many primes in the sequence. - Dean Hickerson, Dec 27 2005
Let x,y,z be elements from some power set P(n), i.e., the power set of a set of n elements. Define a function f(x,y,z) in the following manner: f(x,y,z) = 1 if x is a subset of y and y is a subset of z and x does not equal z; f(x,y,z) = 0 if x is not a subset of y or y is not a subset of z or x equals z. Now sum f(x,y,z) for all x,y,z of P(n). This gives a(n). - Ross La Haye, Dec 26 2005
Number of monic (irreducible) polynomials of degree 1 over GF(2^n). - Max Alekseyev, Jan 13 2006
Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A and B be the Cartesian product of P(A) with itself. Then a(n) = the number of (x,y) of B for which x does not equal y. - Ross La Haye, Jan 02 2008

Number of pairs of polynomials (f,g) in GF(2)[x] satisfying deg(f) <= n, deg(g) <= n and gcd(f,g) = 1.
An unpublished result due to Stephen Suen, David desJardins, and W. Edwin Clark. This is the case k = 2, q = 2 of their formula q^((n+1)*k) * (1 - 1/q^(k-1) + (q-1)/q^((n+1)*k)) for the number of ordered k-tuples (f_1, ..., f_k) of polynomials in GF(q)[x] such that deg(f_i) <= n for all i and gcd(f_1, ..., f_k) = 1.
Apparently the same as A084508 shifted left.
Terms in binary are palindromes of the form 1x1 where x is a string of 2*n zeros (A152577). - Brad Clardy, Sep 01 2011
For n > 0, a(n) is the number k such that the number of iterations of the map k -> (3k +1)/8 == 4 (mod 8) until reaching (3k +1)/8 <> 4 (mod 8) equals n. (see the Collatz problem: the start of the parity trajectory of a(n) is n times {100} = 100100100100...100abcd...). - Michel Lagneau, Jan 23 2012
