Array T(m,n) = 2*T(m,n-1) + T(m-1,n):
  1, 1,  2,   4,   8,   16, ... = a(n)

a(n) is the number of words of length n over an alphabet of two letters, of which one letter appears an even number of times (the empty word of length 0 is included). See the analogous odd number case in A131577, and the Balakrishnan reference in A006516 (the 4-letter odd case), pp. 68-69, problems 2.66, 2.67 and 2.68. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 17 2017
Number of D-equivalence classes of Łukasiewicz paths. Łukasiewicz paths are D-equivalent iff the positions of pattern D are identical in these paths. - Sergey Kirgizov, Apr 08 2018
Number of color patterns (set partitions) for an oriented row of length n using two or fewer colors (subsets). Two color patterns are equivalent if we permute the colors. For a(4)=8, the 4 achiral patterns are AAAA, AABB, ABAB, and ABBA; the 4 chiral patterns are the 2 pairs AAAB-ABBB and AABA-ABAA. - Robert A. Russell, Oct 30 2018
The determinant of the symmetric n X n matrix M defined by M(i,j) = (-1)^max(i,j) for 1 <= i,j <= n is equal to a(n) * (-1)^(n*(n+1)/2). - Bernard Schott, Dec 29 2018
For n>=1, a(n) is the number of permutations of length n whose cyclic representations can be written in such a way that when the cycle parentheses are removed what remains is 1 through n in natural order. For example, a(4)=8 since there are exactly 8 permutations of this form, namely, (1 2 3 4), (1)(2 3 4), (1 2)(3 4), (1 2 3)(4), (1)(2)(3 4), (1)(2 3)(4), (1 2)(3)(4), and (1)(2)(3)(4). Our result follows readily by conditioning on k, the number of parentheses pairs of the form ")(" in the cyclic representation. Since there are C(n-1,k) ways to insert these in the cyclic representation and since k runs from 0 to n-1, we obtain a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} C(n-1,k) = 2^(n-1). - Dennis P. Walsh, May 23 2020
Maximum number of preimages that a permutation of length n + 1 can have under the consecutive-231-avoiding stack-sorting map. - Colin Defant, Aug 28 2020
a(n) is the number of occurrences of the empty set {} in the von Neumann ordinals from 0 up to n. Each ordinal k is defined as the set of all smaller ordinals: 0 = {}, 1 = {0}, 2 = {0,1}, etc. Since {} is the foundational element of all ordinals, the total number of times it appears grows as powers of 2. - Kyle Wyonch, Mar 30 2025

Taking a = b = 1 to start with and carrying out this mapping repeatedly on each new (reduced) rational number gives the following sequence 1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, ... converging to 2^(1/2). Sequence contains the numerators. - Amarnath Murthy, Mar 22 2003 [Amended by Paul E. Black (paul.black(AT)nist.gov), Dec 18 2006]

From Charlie Marion, Jan 07 2009: (Start)
In general, denominators, a(k,n) and numerators, b(k,n), of continued fraction convergents to sqrt((k+1)/k) may be found as follows:
let a(k,0) = 1, a(k,1) = 2k; for n>0, a(k,2n) = 2*a(k,2n-1) + a(k,2n-2) and a(k,2n+1) = (2k)*a(k,2n) + a(k,2n-1);
let b(k,0) = 1, b(k,1) = 2k+1; for n>0, b(k,2n) = 2*b(k,2n-1) + b(k,2n-2) and b(k,2n+1) = (2k)*b(k,2n) + b(k,2n-1).
For example, the convergents to sqrt(2/1) start 1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29.
In general, if a(k,n) and b(k,n) are the denominators and numerators, respectively, of continued fraction convergents to sqrt((k+1)/k) as defined above, then
k*a(k,2n)^2 - a(k,2n-1)*a(k,2n+1) = k = k*a(k,2n-2)*a(k,2n) - a(k,2n-1)^2 and
b(k,2n-1)*b(k,2n+1) - k*b(k,2n)^2 = k+1 = b(k,2n-1)^2 - k*b(k,2n-2)*b(k,2n);
for example, if k=1 and n=3, then b(1,n)=a(n+1) and
1*a(1,6)^2 - a(1,5)*a(1,7) = 1*169^2 - 70*408 = 1;
1*a(1,4)*a(1,6) - a(1,5)^2 = 1*29*169 - 70^2 = 1;
b(1,5)*b(1,7) - 1*b(1,6)^2 = 99*577 - 1*239^2 = 2;
b(1,5)^2 - 1*b(1,4)*b(1,6) = 99^2 - 1*41*239 = 2.

The sequences a(n) and b(n) := A000129(n) are entries of powers of the special case of the Brahmagupta Matrix - for details see Suryanarayan's paper. Further, as Suryanarayan remark, if we set A = 2*(a(n) + b(n))*b(n), B = a(n)*(a(n) + 2*b(n)), C = a(n)^2 + 2*a(n)*b(n) + 2*b(n)^2 we obtain integral solutions of the Pythagorean relation A^2 + B^2 = C^2, where A and B are consecutive integers. - Roman Witula, Jul 28 2012

a(n) = A000129(n) + A000129(n-1), where A000129(n) is the n-th Pell Number; e.g., a(6) = 99 = A000129(6) + A000129(5) = 70 + 29. Hence the sequence of fractions has the form 1 + A000129(n-1)/A000129(n), and the ratio A000129(n-1)/A000129(n)converges to sqrt(2) - 1. - Gregory L. Simay, Nov 30 2018

G.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1) * x^(n-1) * Product_{k = 1..n} (1 - k*x)/(1 - 3*x + k*x^2).
The following series telescope:
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(2*n) + 1/a(2*n)) = 1/4, since 1/(a(2*n) + 1/a(2*n)) = 1/A077445(n) + 1/A077445(n+1).
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(2*n+1) - 1/a(2*n+1)) = 1/8, since. 1/(a(2*n+1) - 1/a(2*n+1)) = 1/(4*Pell(2*n)) + 1/(4*Pell(2*n+2)), where Pell(n) = A000129(n).
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(2*n+1) + 9/a(2*n+1)) = 1/10, since 1/(a(2*n+1) + 9/a(2*n+1)) = b(n) + b(n+1), where b(n) = A001109(n)/(2*Pell(2*n-1)*Pell(2*n+1)).
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(n)*a(n+1)) = 1 - sqrt(2)/2 = A268682, since (-1)^(n+1)/(a(n)*a(n+1)) = Pell(n)/a(n) - Pell(n+1)/a(n+1). (End)

T(n, k) is also the number of idempotent order-preserving full transformations (of an n-chain) of height k >=1 (height(alpha) = |Im(alpha)|) and of waist n (waist(alpha) = max(Im(alpha))). - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008
A085478 is jointly generated with A078812 as a triangular array of coefficients of polynomials u(n,x): initially, u(1,x) = v(1,x) = 1; for n>1, u(n,x) = u(n-1,x)+x*v(n-1)x and v(n,x) = u(n-1,x)+(x+1)*v(n-1,x). See the Mathematica section. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 25 2012
Per Kimberling's recursion relations, see A102426. - Tom Copeland, Jan 19 2016
Subtriangle of the triangle given by (0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (1, 0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 26 2012
T(n,k) is also the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of 2*n+1 into 2*k+1 parts which are all odd. Proof: The o.g.f. of column k, x^k/(1-x)^(2*k+1) for k >= 0, is the o.g.f. of the odd-indexed members of the sequence with o.g.f. (x/(1-x^2))^(2*k+1) (bisection, odd part). Thus T(n,k) is obtained from the sum of the multinomial numbers A048996 for the partitions of 2*n+1 into 2*k+1 parts, all of which are odd. E.g., T(3,1) = 3 + 3 from the numbers for the partitions [1,1,5] and [1,3,3], namely 3!/(2!*1!) and 3!/(1!*2!), respectively. The number triangle with the number of these partitions as entries is A152157. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 09 2012
The matrix elements of the inverse are T^(-1)(n,k) = (-1)^(n+k)*A039599(n,k). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 12 2013
T(n,k) = A258993(n+1,k) for k = 0..n-1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 22 2015
The n-th row polynomial in descending powers of x is the n-th Taylor polynomial of the algebraic function F(x)*G(x)^n about 0, where F(x) = (1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x))/(2*sqrt(1 + 4*x)) and G(x) = ((1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x))/2)^2. For example, for n = 4, (1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x))/(2*sqrt(1 + 4*x)) * ((1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x))/2)^8 = (x^4  + 10*x^3 + 15*x^2 + 7*x + 1) + O(x^5). - Peter Bala, Feb 23 2018
Row n also gives the coefficients of the characteristc polynomial of the tridiagonal n X n matrix M_n given in A332602: Phi(n, x) := Det(M_n - x*1_n) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*(-x)^k, for n >= 0, with Phi(0, x) := 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 25 2020
It appears that the largest root of the n-th degree polynomial is equal to the sum of the distinct diagonals of a (2*n+1)-gon including the edge, 1. The largest root of x^3 - 6*x^2 + 5*x - 1 is 5.048917... = the sum of (1 + 1.80193... + 2.24697...). Alternatively, the largest root of the n-th degree polynomial is equal to the square of sigma(2*n+1). Check: 5.048917... is the square of sigma(7), 2.24697.... Given N = 2*n+1, sigma(N) (N odd) can be defined as 1/(2*sin(Pi/(2*N))). Relating to the 9-gon, the largest root of x^4 - 10*x^3 + 15*x^2 - 7*x + 1 is 8.290859..., = the sum of (1 + 1.879385... + 2.532088... + 2.879385...), and is the square of sigma(9), 2.879385... Refer to A231187 for a further clarification of sigma(7). - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 28 2022
For n >=1, the n-th row is given by the coefficients of the minimal polynomial of -4*sin(Pi/(4*n + 2))^2. - Eric W. Weisstein, Jul 12 2023
Denoting this lower triangular array by L, then L * diag(binomial(2*k,k)^2) * transpose(L) is the LDU factorization of A143007, the square array of crystal ball sequences for the A_n X A_n lattices. - Peter Bala, Feb 06 2024
T(n, k) is the number of occurrences of the periodic substring (01)^k in the periodic string (01)^n (see Proposition 4.7 at page 7 in Fang). - Stefano Spezia, Jun 09 2024

Let C_n be the root lattice generated as a monoid by {+-2*e_i: 1 <= i <= n; +-e_i +- e_j: 1 <= i not equal to j <= n}. Let P(C_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(C_n) [Ardila et al.]. See A127674 for (a signed version of) the corresponding array of f-vectors for these type C_n polytopes.

Inverse binomial transform of A001077. Binomial transform of expansion of cosh(sqrt(5)*x) (1,0,5,0,25,...).
The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting a priori with the fraction 1/1, the numerators of fractions built according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 5 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the sequence of fractions is sqrt(5). - Cino Hilliard, Sep 25 2005
Numerators of fractions in the approximation of the square root of 5 satisfying: a(n) = (a(n-1)+c)/(a(n-1)+1), with c=5 and a(1)=1. For denominators see A063727. - Mark Dols, Jul 24 2009
Equals right border of triangle A143969. (1, 6, 16, 56, ...) = row sums of triangle A143969 and INVERT transform of (1, 5, 5, 5, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 06 2008
a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 1 type of 1 and 5 types of other natural numbers. - Milan Janjic, Aug 13 2010
From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 30 2016: (Start)
The sequence is case N=1 in an infinite set obtained by taking powers of the 2 X 2 matrix M = [(1,5); (1,N)], then extracting the upper left terms. The infinite set begins:
N=1 (A084057):  1, 6, 16,  56,  176,   576,   1856, ...
N=2 (A108306):  1, 6, 21,  81,  306,  1161,   4401, ...
N=3 (A164549):  1, 6, 26, 116,  516,  2296,  10216, ...
N=4 (A015449):  1, 6, 31, 161,  836,  4341,  22541, ...
N=5 (A000400):  1, 6, 36, 216, 1296,  7776,  46656, ...
N=6 (A049685):  1, 6, 41, 281, 1926, 13201,  90481, ...
N=7 (.......):  1, 6, 46, 356, 2756, 21336, 222712, ...
...
Sequences in the above set can be obtained by taking INVERT transforms of the following:
N=1 INVERT transform of (1, 5,  5,  5,   5,    5, ...
N=2 ..."......"......". (1, 5, 10, 20,  40,   80, ...
N=3 ..."......"......". (1, 5, 15, 45, 135,  405, ...
N=4 ..."......"......". (1, 5, 20, 80, 320, 1280, ...
...
with the pattern (1, 5, N*5, (N^2)*5, (N^3)*5, ...
It appears that the sequence generated from powers (n>0) of the matrix P = [(1,a); (1,b)], (a,b > 0), then extracting the upper left terms, is equal to the INVERT transform of the sequence starting: (1, a, b*a, (b^2)*a, (b^3)*a, ...). (End)

O.g.f.: G(x) = P[P[Cinv(x),-1],-1] = P[Cinv(x),-2] = x*(1-x)/(1 - 2*x*(1-x)) = x*A146599(x).
