Also structured triakis octahedral numbers (vertex structure 9) (Cf. A100171 = alternate vertex); and structured heptagonal anti-prism numbers (Cf. A100185 = structured anti-prisms).
If Y is a 2-subset of a 2n-set X then, for n>=2, a(n-1) is the number of 4-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan Janjic, Nov 18 2007
Let M(2n-1) be a (2n-1)x(2n-1) matrix whose (i,j)-entry equals i^2/(i^2+sqrt(-1)) if i=j and equals 1 otherwise. Then a(n) equals (-1)^(n+1) times the real part of prod(k^2+sqrt(-1),k=1...2n-1) times the determinant of M(2n-1). - John M. Campbell, Sep 07 2011
Principal diagonal of the convolution array A213752. - Clark Kimberling, Jun 20 2012
The Fuss-Catalan numbers are Cat(d,k)= [1/(k*(d-1)+1)]*binomial(k*d,k) and enumerate the number of (d+1)-gon partitions of a (k*(d-1)+2)-gon (cf. Whieldon and Schuetz link). a(n)= Cat(n,4), so enumerates the number of (n+1)-gon partitions of a (4*(n-1)+2)-gon. Analogous series are A000326 (k=3) and A234043 (k=5). Also, a(n)= A006918(4n+1) = A008610(4n+1) = A053307(4n+1) with offset=0. - Tom Copeland, Oct 05 2014
