a(n) is the number of Dyck paths of semilength n with no UUDD. See A025242 for a bijection between paths avoiding DDUU versus UUDD.

Also number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) which do not go above the diagonal x=y using steps (1,k), (k,1) with k>=1. - Alois P. Heinz, Oct 07 2015

a(n) is the number of bargraphs of semiperimeter n (n>=2). Example: a(4) = 5; the 5 bargraphs correspond to the compositions [1,1,1], [1,2], [2,1], [2,2], [3]. - Emeric Deutsch, May 20 2016 [a(n) are the row sums of A271942 for n >= 2. Peter Luschny, Oct 18 2020]

a(n) is the number of skew Motzkin paths of length n. A skew Motzkin path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1) (up), D=(1,-1) (down), F=(1,0) (flat) and A=(-1,1) (anti-down) so that down and anti-down steps do not overlap. - Sergey Kirgizov, Oct 03 2018

Conjecture: Also the number of maximal simple graphs with vertices {1..n} and no weakly nesting edges. Two edges {a,b}, {c,d} are weakly nesting if a <= c < d <= b or c <= a < b <= d. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(5) = 13 edge-sets are:

{} {12} {13} {14} {15}

{12,23} {12,24} {12,25}

{13,24} {13,25}

a(n) is the number of Dyck n-paths in which no nonterminal descent has the same length as the preceding ascent. Example: a(3) = 2 counts UUDUDD and UUUDDD where the latter path qualifies because DDD is the terminal descent. - David Callan, Dec 14 2021

Related to Schröder's second problem.

A001006 gives number of ways of drawing any number of nonintersecting chords between n points on a circle, while this sequence gives number of ways of drawing noncrossing chords between n points on a circle. The difference is that nonintersection chords have no point in common, while noncrossing chords may share an endpoint. - David W. Wilson, Jan 30 2003

For n>0, a(n) = number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n-1,n-1) that consist of steps (i,j), i,j nonnegative integers not both 0 and that stay strictly below the line y=x except at their endpoints. For example, a(3)=8 counts the paths with following step sequences: {(2, 2)}, {(2, 1), (0, 1)}, {(2, 0), (0, 2)}, {(2, 0), (0, 1), (0, 1)}, {(1, 0), (1, 2)}, {(1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)}, {(1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 2)}, {(1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1), (0, 1)}. If the word "strictly" is replaced by "weakly", the counting sequence becomes A059435. - David Callan, Jun 07 2006

The nodes on the circle are distinguished by their positions but are otherwise unlabeled. - Lee A. Newberg, Aug 09 2011

Conjecture: Also the number of simple graphs with vertices {1..n} not containing any pair of nesting edges. Two edges {a,b}, {c,d} where a < b and c < d are nesting if a < c and b > d or a > c and b < d. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 8 non-nesting edge-sets are:

{} {} {} {}

{12} {12}

{13}

{23}

{12,13}

{12,23}

Two edges {a,b}, {c,d} are crossing if a < c < b < d or c < a < d < b, and nesting if a < c < d < b or c < a < b < d.

First differs from A326255 in lacking 2599.

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798. The multiset multisystem with MM-number n is obtained by taking the multiset of prime indices of each prime index of n.

A multiset partition is nesting if it has two blocks of the form {...x,y...}, {...z,t...} where x < z and t < y or z < x and y < t. This is a stronger condition than capturing, so for example {{1,3,5},{2,4}} is capturing but not nesting.

Two edges {a,b}, {c,d} are crossing if a < c < b < d or c < a < d < b, and nesting if a < c < d < b or c < a < b < d. A graph with positive integer vertices is topologically connected if the graph whose vertices are the edges and whose edges are crossing pairs of edges is connected.
