Inverse Gudermannian gd^(-1)(x) = log(sec(x) + tan(x)) = log(tan(Pi/4 + x/2)) = arctanh(sin(x)) = 2 * arctanh(tan(x/2)) = 2 * arctanh(csc(x) - cot(x)). - Michael Somos, Mar 19 2011
a(n) is the number of downup permutations of [2n]. Example: a(2)=5 counts 4231, 4132, 3241, 3142, 2143. - David Callan, Nov 21 2011
a(n) is the number of increasing full binary trees on vertices {0,1,2,...,2n} for which the leftmost leaf is labeled 2n. - David Callan, Nov 21 2011
a(n) is the number of unordered increasing trees of size 2n+1 with only even degrees allowed and degree-weight generating function given by cosh(t). - Markus Kuba, Sep 13 2014
a(n) is the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shape (n+1,n,n-1,...,3,2)/(n-1,n-2,...2,1). - Ran Pan, Apr 10 2015
Since cos(z) has a root at z = Pi/2 and no other root in C with a smaller |z|, the radius of convergence of the e.g.f. (intended complex-valued) is Pi/2 = A019669 (see also A028296). - Stanislav Sykora, Oct 07 2016
All terms are odd. - Alois P. Heinz, Jul 22 2018
The sequence starting with a(1) is periodic modulo any odd prime p. The minimal period is (p-1)/2 if p == 1 mod 4 and p-1 if p == 3 mod 4 [Knuth & Buckholtz, 1967, Theorem 2]. - Allen Stenger, Aug 03 2020
Conjecture: taking the sequence [a(n) : n >= 1] modulo an integer k gives a purely periodic sequence with period dividing phi(k). For example, the sequence taken modulo 21 begins [1, 5, 19, 20, 16, 2, 1, 5, 19, 20, 16, 2, 1, 5, 19, 20, 16, 2, 1, 5, 19, ...] with an apparent period of 6 = phi(21)/2. - Peter Bala, May 08 2023

(1)... a(n) = (-1/4)^n*B(2*n,-1),
where {B(n,x)}n>=1 = [1, 1+x, 1+6*x+x^2, 1+23*x+23*x^2+x^3, ...] is the sequence of Eulerian polynomials of type B - see A060187. Equivalently,
(2)... a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..2*n} Sum_{j = 0..k} (-1)^(n-j) *binomial(2*n+1,k-j)*(j+1/2)^(2*n).
We also have
(3)... a(n) = 2*A(2*n,i)/(1+i)^(2*n+1),
where i = sqrt(-1) and where {A(n,x)}n>=1 = [x, x + x^2, x + 4*x^2 + x^3, ...] denotes the sequence of Eulerian polynomials - see A008292. Equivalently,
(4)... a(n) = i*Sum_{k = 1..2*n} (-1)^(n+k)*k!*Stirling2(2*n,k) *((1+i)/2)^(k-1)
= i*Sum_{k = 1..2*n} (-1)^(n+k)*((1+i)/2)^(k-1) Sum_{j = 0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(k,j)*j^(2*n).
Either this explicit formula for a(n) or (2) above may be used to obtain congruence results for a(n). For example, for prime p
(5a)... a(p) = 1 (mod p)
(5b)... a(2*p) = 5 (mod p)
and for odd prime p
(6a)... a((p+1)/2) = (-1)^((p-1)/2) (mod p)
(6b)... a((p-1)/2) = -1 + (-1)^((p-1)/2) (mod p).

a(n) = (-1)^n*2^(4*n+1)*(zeta(-2*n,1/4) - zeta(-2*n,3/4)). - Gerry Martens, May 27 2011
a(n) may be expressed as a sum of multinomials taken over all compositions of 2*n into even parts (Vella 2008): a(n) = Sum_{compositions 2*i_1 + ... + 2*i_k = 2*n} (-1)^(n+k)* multinomial(2*n, 2*i_1, ..., 2*i_k). For example, there are 4 compositions of the number 6 into even parts, namely 6, 4+2, 2+4 and 2+2+2, and hence a(3) = 6!/6! - 6!/(4!*2!) - 6!/(2!*4!) + 6!/(2!*2!*2!) = 61. A companion formula expressing a(n) as a sum of multinomials taken over the compositions of 2*n-1 into odd parts has been given by Malenfant 2011. - Peter Bala, Jul 07 2011

We may compare the representation a(n) = Product_{k = 0..n-1} (n*(n+1)-k*(k+1)) with n! = Product_{k = 0..n-1} (n-k). Thus we may view a(n) as a generalized factorial function associated with the oblong numbers A002378. Cf. A000680.
The associated generalized binomial coefficients a(n)/(a(k)*a(n-k)) are triangle A086645, cf. A186432. (End)

For all elements x of the sequence, 12*x^2 - 12 is a square. Lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = 2 + sqrt(3) = (4 + sqrt(12))/2 which preserves the kinship with the equation "12*x^2 - 12 is a square" where the initial "12" ends up appearing as a square root. - Gregory V. Richardson, Oct 10 2002

A triangle with row sums generating the sequence can be constructed by taking the production matrix M. Take powers of M, extracting the top rows.
M =

  2, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, ...
  2, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, ...
  2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, ...
  ...
The triangle generated from M is:
   1,
   1,  1,
   3,  1, 3,
  11,  3, 3, 9,
  41, 11, 9, 9, 27,

Even-indexed terms are odd while odd-indexed terms are even. Indeed, a(2*n) = 2*(a(n))^2 - 1 and a(2*n+1) = 2*a(n)*a(n+1) - 2. - Timothy L. Tiffin, Oct 11 2016
For each n, a(0) divides a(n), a(1) divides a(2n+1), a(2) divides a(4*n+2), a(3) divides a(6*n+3), a(4) divides a(8*n+4), a(5) divides a(10n+5), and so on. Thus, a(k) divides a((2*n+1)*k) for each k > 0 and n >= 0. A proof of this can be found in Bhargava-Kedlaya-Ng's first solution to Problem A2 of the 76th Putnam Mathematical Competition. Links to the exam and its solutions can be found below. - Timothy L. Tiffin, Oct 12 2016

If any term a(n) is a prime number, then its index n will be a power of 2. This is a consequence of the results given in the previous two comments. See A277434 for those prime terms.
a(2n) == 1 (mod 6) and a(2*n+1) == 2 (mod 6). Consequently, each odd prime factor of a(n) will be congruent to 1 modulo 6 and, thus, found in A002476.
a(n) == 1 (mod 10) if n == 0 (mod 6), a(n) == 2 (mod 10) if n == {1,-1} (mod 6), a(n) == 7 (mod 10) if n == {2,-2} (mod 6), and a(n) == 6 (mod 10) if n == 3 (mod 6). So, the rightmost digits of a(n) form a repeating cycle of length 6: 1, 2, 7, 6, 7, 2. (End)

			2^6 - 1 = 63 does not divide a(2^4) = 708158977, therefore 63 is composite. 2^5 - 1 = 31 divides a(2^3) = 18817, therefore 31 is prime.

This is also the number of ways of arranging the elements of n distinct pairs, assuming the order of elements is significant and the pairs are distinguishable. When the pairs are not distinguishable, see A001147 and A132101. For example, there are 6 ways of arranging 2 pairs [1,1], [2,2]: {[1122], [1212], [1221], [2211], [2121], [2112]}. - Ross Drewe, Mar 16 2008

Number of ways that 2n people of different heights can be arranged (for a photograph) in two rows of equal length so that every person in the front row is shorter than the person immediately behind them in the back row.
a(n) is the number of functions f:[n]->[n^2] such that, if floor((f(x))^.5) = floor((f(y))^.5), then x = y. For example, with n = 4, the range of f consists of one element from each of the four sets {1,2,3}, {4,5,6,7,8}, {9,10,11,12,13,14,15}, and {16}. Hence there are 1*3*5*7 = 105 ways to choose the range for f, and there are 4! ways to injectively map {1,2,3,4} to the four elements of the range. Thus there are 105*24 = 2520 such functions. Note also that a(n) = n!*(product of the first n odd numbers). - Dennis P. Walsh, Nov 28 2012
a(n) is also the 2*n th difference of n-powers of A000217 (triangular numbers). For example a(2) is the 4th difference of the squares of triangular numbers. - Enric Reverter i Bigas, Jun 24 2013
a(n) is the multinomial coefficient (2*n) over (2, 2, 2, ..., 2) where there are n 2's in the last parenthesis. It is therefore also the number of words of length 2n obtained with n letters, each letter appearing twice. - Robert FERREOL, Jan 14 2018

a(n) = A087127(n,2*n) = Sum_{i=0..2*n} (-1)^(2*n-i)*binomial(2*n, i)*binomial(i+2, 2)^n. Let T(n,k,j) = ((n - k + j)*(2*n - 2*k + 1))^n*binomial(2*n, 2*k-j+1) then a(n) = Sum{k=0..n} (T(n,k,1) - T(n,k,0)). For example a(12) = A087127(12,24) = Sum_{k=0..12} (T(12,k,1) - T(12,k,0)) = 24!/2^12. - André F. Labossière, Mar 29 2004 [Corrected by Jianing Song, Jan 08 2019]
For even n, a(n) = binomial(2n, n)*(a(n/2))^2. For odd n, a(n) = binomial(2n, n+1)*a((n+1)/2)*a((n-1)/2). For positive n, a(n) = binomial(2n, 2)*a(n-1) with a(0) = 1. - Dennis P. Walsh, Nov 17 2009
a(n) = Product_{i=1..n} binomial(2i, 2).
a(n) = a(n-1)*binomial(2n, 2).
From Peter Bala, Feb 21 2011: (Start)
a(n) = Product_{k = 0..n-1} (T(n) - T(k)), where T(n) = n*(n + 1)/2 is the n-th triangular number.
Compare with n! = Product_{k = 0..n-1} (n - k).
Thus we may view a(n) as a generalized factorial function associated with the triangular numbers A000217. Cf. A010050. The corresponding generalized binomial coefficients a(n)/(a(k)*a(n-k)) are triangle A086645. Also cf. A186432.
a(n) = n*(n + n-1)*(n + n-1 + n-2)*...*(n + n-1 + n-2 + ... + 1).
For example, a(5) = 5*(5+4)*(5+4+3)*(5+4+3+2)*(5+4+3+2+1) = 113400. (End).
G.f.: 1/U(0) where U(k)= x*(2*k - 1)*k + 1 - x*(2*k + 1)*(k + 1)/U(k+1); (continued fraction, Euler's 1st kind, 1-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 28 2012
a(n) = n!*(product of the first n odd integers). - Dennis P. Walsh, Nov 28 2012
a(0) = 1, a(n) = a(n-1)*T(2*n-1), where T(n) is the n-th triangular number. For example: a(4) = a(3)*T(7) = 90*28 = 2520. - Enric Reverter i Bigas, Jun 24 2013

Narayana numbers of type B. Row n of this triangle is the h-vector of the simplicial complex dual to an associahedron of type B_n (a cyclohedron) [Fomin & Reading, p. 60]. See A063007 for the corresponding f-vectors for associahedra of type B_n. See A001263 for the h-vectors for associahedra of type A_n. The Hilbert transform of this triangular array is A108625 (see A145905 for the definition of this term).
Let A_n be the root lattice generated as a monoid by {e_i - e_j: 0 <= i, j <= n + 1}. Let P(A_n) be the polytope formed by the convex hull of this generating set. Then the rows of this array are the h-vectors of a unimodular triangulation of P(A_n) [Ardila et al.]. A063007 is the corresponding array of f-vectors for these type A_n polytopes. See A086645 for the array of h-vectors for type C_n polytopes and A108558 for the array of h-vectors associated with type D_n polytopes.

The n-th row consists of the coefficients of the polynomial P_n(t) = Integral_{s = 0..2*Pi} (1 + t^2 - 2*t*cos(s))^n/Pi/2 ds. For example, when n = 3, we get P_3(t) = t^6 + 9*t^4 + 9*t^2 + 1; the coefficients are 1, 9, 9, 1. - Theodore Kolokolnikov, Oct 26 2010
Let E(y) = Sum_{n >= 0} y^n/n!^2 = BesselJ(0, 2*sqrt(-y)). Then this triangle is the generalized Riordan array (E(y), y) with respect to the sequence n!^2 as defined in Wang and Wang. - Peter Bala, Jul 24 2013

Let s denote West's stack-sorting map. T(n,k) is the number of permutations pi of [n+1] with k descents such that s(pi) avoids the patterns 132, 231, and 321. T(n,k) is also the number of permutations pi of [n+1] with k descents such that s(pi) avoids the patterns 132, 312, and 321.
T(n,k) is the number of permutations of [n+1] with k descents that avoid the patterns 1342, 3142, 3412, and 3421. (End)

a(n,m) has the following interesting combinatoric interpretation. Let s(n,m) equal the set of all base-4, n-digit numbers with n-m more 1-digits than 2-digits. For example s(2,1) = {10,01,13,31} (note that numbers like 1 are left-padded with 0's to ensure that they have 2 digits). Notice that #s(2,1) = a(2,1) with # indicating cardinality. This is true in general. a(n,m)=#s(n,m). In words, a(n,m) gives the number of n-digit, base-4 numbers with n-m more 1 digits than 2 digits. A proof is provided in the Links section. - Russell Jay Hendel, Jun 23 2015

From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 18 2012: (Start)
Let A(x) be the g.f. of the flattened sequence, then:
G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(n^2) * (1+x)^(2*n).
G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n*(1+x)^(2*n) * Product_{k=1..n} (1 - (1+x)^2*x^(4*k-3)) / (1 - (1+x)^2*x^(4*k-1)).
G.f.: A(x) = 1/(1 - x*(1+x)^2/(1 + x*(1-x^2)*(1+x)^2/(1 - x^5*(1+x)^2/(1 + x^3*(1-x^4)*(1+x)^2/(1 - x^9*(1+x)^2/(1 + x^5*(1-x^6)*(1+x)^2/(1 - x^13*(1+x)^2/(1 + x^7*(1-x^8)*(1+x)^2/(1 - ...))))))))), a continued fraction.

From Peter Bala, Jul 14 2015: (Start)
Denote this array by P. Then P * transpose(P) is the square array ( binomial(2*n + 2*k, 2*k) )n,k>=0, which, read by antidiagonals, is A086645.
Transpose(P) is a generalized Riordan array (1, (1 + x)^2) as defined in the Bala link.
Let p(x) = (1 + x)^2. P^2 gives the coefficients in the expansion of the polynomials ( p(p(x)) )^n, P^3 gives the coefficients in the expansion of the polynomials ( p(p(p(x))) )^n and so on.
Row sums are 2^(2*n); row sums of P^2 are 5^(2*n), row sums of P^3 are 26^(2*n). In general, the row sums of P^k, k = 0,1,2,..., are equal to A003095(k)^(2*n).
The signed version of this array ( (-1)^k*binomial(2*n,k) )n,k>=0 is a left-inverse for A034839.
A034839 * P = A080928. (End)
