To show for example that C(2n+1, n+1) is the number of monotone maps from 1..n + 1 to 1..n + 1, notice that we can describe such a map by a nondecreasing sequence of length n + 1 with entries from 1 to n + 1. The number k of increases in this sequence is anywhere from 0 to n. We can specify these increases by throwing k balls into n+1 boxes, so the total is Sum_{k = 0..n} C((n+1) + k - 1, k) = C(2*n+1, n+1).
Also number of ordered partitions (or compositions) of n + 1 into n + 1 parts. E.g., a(2) = 10: 003, 030, 300, 012, 021, 102, 120, 210, 201, 111. - Mambetov Bektur (bektur1987(AT)mail.ru), Apr 17 2003

(E.g., for n = 2 there are 10 walks, all starting at 0, 0: 0, 1 -> 0, 0; 0, 1 -> 1, 1; 0, 1 -> 0, 2; 1, 0 -> 0, 0; 1, 0 -> 1, 1; 1, 0 -> 2, 0; 1, 0 -> 1, -1; -1, 0 -> 0, 0; -1, 0 -> -1, 1; -1, 0-> -2, 0.)
Also total number of leaves in all ordered trees with n + 1 edges.
Also number of digitally balanced numbers [A031443] from 2^(2*n+1) to 2^(2*n+2). - Naohiro Nomoto, Apr 07 2001

Also the numerator of the constant term in the expansion of cos^(2*n)(x) or sin^(2*n)(x) when the denominator is 2^(2*n-1). - Robert G. Wilson v
Consider the expansion of cos^n(x) as a linear combination of cosines of multiple angles. If n is odd, then the expansion is a combination of a*cos((2*k-1)*x)/2^(n-1) for all 2*k - 1 <= n. If n is even, then the expansion is a combination of a*cos(2k*x)/2^(n-1) terms plus a constant. "The constant term, [a(n)/2^(2n-1)], is due to the fact that [cos^2n(x)] is never negative, i.e., electrical engineers would say the average or 'dc value' of [cos^(2*n)(x)] is [a(n)/2^(2*n-1)]. The dc value of [cos^(2*n-1)(x)] on the other hand, is zero because it is symmetrical about the horizontal axis, i.e., it is negative and positive equally." Nahin[62] - Robert G. Wilson v, Aug 01 2002
Also number of times a fixed Dyck word of length 2*k occurs in all Dyck words of length 2*n + 2*k. Example: if the fixed Dyck word is xyxy (k = 2), then it occurs a(1) = 3 times in the 5 Dyck words of length 6 (n = 1): (xy[xy)xy], xyxxyy, xxyyxy, x(xyxy)y, xxxyyy (placed between parentheses). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 02 2003

Example: For prime 29 = 4*7 + 1 use a(7-1) = 1716 = (2*7)!/(2*7!*7!), 5 = 1716 mod 29 and 2 = 5*(2*7)! mod 29, then 29 = 5*5 + 2*2.
The number of compositions of 2*n, say c_1 + c_2 + ... + c_k = 2n, satisfy that Sum_{i = 1..j} c_i < 2*j for all j = 1..k, or equivalently, the number of subsets, say S, of [2*n-1] = {1, 2, ..., 2*n-1} with at least n elements such that if 2k is in S, then there must be at least k elements in S smaller than 2k. E.g., a(2) = 3 because we can write 4 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 + 2 = 1 + 2 + 1. - Ricky X. F. Chen (ricky_chen(AT)mail.nankai.edu.cn), Jul 30 2006

a(n) is the number of Schroder paths of semilength n in which the (2,0)-steps at level 0 come in 2 colors and there are no (2,0)-steps at a higher level.

From Tom Copeland, Nov 09 2014: (Start)
The shifted array belongs to a family of arrays associated to the Catalan A000108 (t = 1), and Riordan, or Motzkin sums A005043 (t = 0), with the o.g.f. [1 - sqrt(1 - 4x/(1 + (1 - t)x))]/2 and inverse x*(1 - x)/[1 + (t - 1)*x*(1 - x)]. See A091867 for more info on this family. Here is t = -3 (mod signs in the results).
Let C(x) = [1 - sqrt(1-4x)]/2, an o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108, with inverse Cinv(x) = x*(1-x) and P(x,t) = x/(1 + t*x) with inverse P(x, -t).
O.g.f: G(x) = [-1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x/(1 - 4*x))]/2 = -C[P(-x, 4)].
Inverse o.g.f: Ginv(x) = x*(1 + x)/(1 + 4*x*(1 + x)) = -P(Cinv(-x), -4) (shifted signed A001792). A088218(x) = 1 + G(x).
Equals A001813/2 omitting the leading 1 there. (End)

Essentially the same as A001700, which has more information.
Note that the unique rooted tree with no edges has no leaves, so a(0)=1 is by convention. - Michael Somos, Jul 30 2011

Hankel transform is A000027; example: Det([1,1,3,10;1,3,10,35;3,10,35,126; 10,35,126,462]) = 4. - Philippe Deléham, Apr 13 2007

Also the number of integer compositions of 2n with alternating (or reverse-alternating) sum 0 (ranked by A344619). This is equivalent to Ran Pan's comment at A001700. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 10 compositions are:
() (11) (22) (33)
(121) (132)
(1111) (231)
(1122)
(1221)
(2112)
(2211)

For n > 0, a(n) is also the number of integer compositions of 2n with alternating sum 2.

A number n is in the sequence if and only if the following inequalities hold s_2(n) <= 2 and s_3(n) + s_3(n-1) - s_3(2*n-1) <= 2, where s_m(n) is sum of digits of n in base m. - Vladimir Shevelev, Oct 30 2013
Equivalently, a number n is in the sequence if and only if there is at most 1 "carry" when adding n and n-1 in both base-2 arithmetic and base-3 arithmetic. - Tom Edgar, Oct 31 2013

Examples

			For n = 64 we have s_2(64) = 1, s_3(n) = 4, s_3(64-1) = 3, s_3(2*64-1) = 5 and 4+3-5 = 2. So 64 is in the sequence. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Oct 30 2013
