A very large number of combinatorial interpretations are known - see references, esp. R. P. Stanley, "Catalan Numbers", Cambridge University Press, 2015. This is probably the longest entry in the OEIS, and rightly so.
The solution to Schröder's first problem: number of ways to insert n pairs of parentheses in a word of n+1 letters. E.g., for n=2 there are 2 ways: ((ab)c) or (a(bc)); for n=3 there are 5 ways: ((ab)(cd)), (((ab)c)d), ((a(bc))d), (a((bc)d)), (a(b(cd))).
Consider all the binomial(2n,n) paths on squared paper that (i) start at (0, 0), (ii) end at (2n, 0) and (iii) at each step, either make a (+1,+1) step or a (+1,-1) step. Then the number of such paths that never go below the x-axis (Dyck paths) is C(n). [Chung-Feller]

The multiplicity with which a prime p divides C_n can be determined by first expressing n+1 in base p. For p=2, the multiplicity is the number of 1 digits minus 1. For p an odd prime, count all digits greater than (p+1)/2; also count digits equal to (p+1)/2 unless final; and count digits equal to (p-1)/2 if not final and the next digit is counted. For example, n=62, n+1 = 223_5, so C_62 is not divisible by 5. n=63, n+1 = 224_5, so 5^3 | C_63. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Feb 08 2006
Koshy and Salmassi give an elementary proof that the only prime Catalan numbers are a(2) = 2 and a(3) = 5. Is the only semiprime Catalan number a(4) = 14? - Jonathan Vos Post, Mar 06 2006
The answer is yes. Using the formula C_n = binomial(2n,n)/(n+1), it is immediately clear that C_n can have no prime factor greater than 2n. For n >= 7, C_n > (2n)^2, so it cannot be a semiprime. Given that the Catalan numbers grow exponentially, the above consideration implies that the number of prime divisors of C_n, counted with multiplicity, must grow without limit. The number of distinct prime divisors must also grow without limit, but this is more difficult. Any prime between n+1 and 2n (exclusive) must divide C_n. That the number of such primes grows without limit follows from the prime number theorem. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Apr 14 2006

C(n) is the degree of the Grassmannian G(1,n+1): the set of lines in (n+1)-dimensional projective space, or the set of planes through the origin in (n+2)-dimensional affine space. The Grassmannian is considered a subset of N-dimensional projective space, N = binomial(n+2,2) - 1. If we choose 2n general (n-1)-planes in projective (n+1)-space, then there are C(n) lines that meet all of them. - Benji Fisher (benji(AT)FisherFam.org), Mar 05 2009

Consider a set of A000217(n) balls of n colors in which, for each integer k = 1 to n, exactly one color appears in the set a total of k times. (Each ball has exactly one color and is indistinguishable from other balls of the same color.) a(n+1) equals the number of ways to choose 0 or more balls of each color while satisfying the following conditions: 1. No two colors are chosen the same positive number of times. 2. For any two colors (c, d) that are chosen at least once, color c is chosen more times than color d iff color c appears more times in the original set than color d.
If the second requirement is lifted, the number of acceptable ways equals A000110(n+1). See related comments for A016098, A085082. (End)

One class of generalized Catalan numbers can be defined by g.f. A(x) = (1-sqrt(1-q*4*x*(1-(q-1)*x)))/(2*q*x) with nonzero parameter q. Recurrence: (n+3)*a(n+2) -2*q*(2*n+3)*a(n+1) +4*q*(q-1)*n*a(n) = 0 with a(0)=1, a(1)=1.
Asymptotic approximation for q >= 1: a(n) ~ (2*q+2*sqrt(q))^n*sqrt(2*q*(1+sqrt(q))) /sqrt(4*q^2*Pi*n^3).
For q <= -1, the g.f. defines signed sequences with asymptotic approximation: a(n) ~ Re(sqrt(2*q*(1+sqrt(q)))*(2*q+2*sqrt(q))^n) / sqrt(q^2*Pi*n^3), where Re denotes the real part. Due to Stokes' phenomena, accuracy of the asymptotic approximation deteriorates at/near certain values of n.
Special cases are A000108 (q=1), A068764 to A068772 (q=2 to 10), A240880 (q=-3).

Further, letting x = 1/y and expanding y about 0 to find large roots, that is, y = Sum_{n>=1} y_{n}*eps^n, one finds y = 0 - eps + eps^2 - 2*eps^3 + 5*eps^3 - ... with y_{n} = (-1)^n*C(n-1). - Derek Orr, Mar 15 2019

4^n = (n-th row terms) dot (first n+1 odd integer terms). Example: 4^4 = 256 = (14, 28, 20, 7, 1) dot (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) = (14 + 84 + 100 + 49 + 9) = 256. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 13 2011
The linear system of n equations with coefficients defined by the first n rows solve for diagonal lengths of regular polygons with N= 2n+1 edges; the constants c^0, c^1, c^2, ... are on the right hand side, where c = 2 + 2*cos(2*Pi/N). Example: take the first 4 rows relating to the 9-gon (nonagon), N = 2*4 + 1; with c = 2 + 2*cos(2*Pi/9) = 3.5320888.... The equations are (1,0,0,0) = 1; (1,1,0,0) = c; (2,3,1,0) = c^2; (5,9,5,1) = c^3. The solutions are 1, 2.53208..., 2.87938..., and 1.87938...; the four distinct diagonal lengths of the 9-gon (nonagon) with edge = 1. (Cf. comment in A089942 which uses the analogous operations but with c = 1 + 2*cos(2*Pi/9).) - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 21 2011
Also called the Lobb numbers, after Andrew Lobb, are a natural generalization of the Catalan numbers, given by L(m,n)=(2m+1)*Binomial(2n,m+n)/(m+n+1), where n >= m >= 0. For m=0, we get the n-th Catalan number. See added reference. - Jayanta Basu, Apr 30 2013
From Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 20 2013: (Start)
T(n, k) = A053121(2*n, 2*k). T(n, k) appears in the formula for the (2*n)-th power of the algebraic number rho(N):= 2*cos(Pi/N) = R(N, 2) in terms of the odd-indexed diagonal/side length ratios R(N, 2*k+1) = S(2*k, rho(N)) in the regular N-gon inscribed in the unit circle (length unit 1). S(n, x) are Chebyshev's S polynomials (see A049310):
rho(N)^(2*n) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*R(N, 2*k+1), n >= 0, identical in N > = 1. For a proof see the Sep 21 2013 comment under A053121. Note that this is the unreduced version if R(N, j) with j > delta(N), the degree of the algebraic number rho(N) (see A055034), appears.
For the odd powers of rho(n) see A039598. (End)

Example for rho(N) = 2*cos(Pi/N) powers:
n=2: rho(N)^4 = 2*R(N,1) + 3*R(N,3) + 1*R(N, 5) =
  2 + 3*S(2, rho(N)) + 1*S(4, rho(N)), identical in N >= 1. For N=4 (the square with only one distinct diagonal), the degree delta(4) = 2, hence R(4, 3) and R(4, 5) can be reduced, namely to R(4, 1) = 1 and R(4, 5) = -R(4,1) = -1, respectively. Therefore, rho(4)^4 =(2*cos(Pi/4))^4 = 2 + 3 -1 = 4. (End)

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

Inverse of Riordan array (c(x)^3,x*c(x)^2) or A050155, with c(x) the g.f. of A000108. Unsigned array is the Riordan array (1/(1-x)^3,x/(1-x)^2), with T(n,k) = binomial(n+k+2,2*k+2).
Triangle of coefficients of polynomials defined by: c0=1; p(x, n) = (2 + c0 - x)*p(x, n - 1) + (-1 - c0 (2 - x))*p(x, n - 2) + c0*p(x, n - 3). Setting c0=0 gives A136674. - Roger L. Bagula, Apr 08 2008
The triangle entries Ts(n,k):=(-1)^(n-1)*A109954(n-1, k) = ((-1)^k)*binomial(n+k+1, 2(k+1)), n>=1, k=0..n-1, are the coefficients of x^(2*k) of the polynomial P(n,x^2) := (1 - (-1)^n*S(2*n,x))/x^2, with the Chebyshev S-polynomials with coefficient triangle given in A049310.
P(n,x^2) = - R(n+1,x)*S(n-1,x)/x^2 if n is even and P(n,x^2) = R(n,x)*S(n,x)/x^2 if n is odd, with R the monic integer Chebyshev T-polynomials with coefficient triangle given in A127672. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 24 2012.

Comments

For the coefficients of Chebyshev polynomials S(n,x) see A049310.
The row length sequence for this array is A109613 = {1,1,3,3,5,5,...}.
The row polynomials (in x^2) for even row numbers are
S(2*k,x)^2 = Sum_{m=0..2*k} a(2*k,m)*x^(2*m), k >= 0.
For odd row numbers the row polynomials (in x^2) are
(S(2*k+1,x)^2)/x^2 = Sum_{m=0..2*k} a(2*k+1,m)*x^(2*m), k >= 0.
The o.g.f. for the polynomials S(n,x)^2 is
S(x,z):=((1+z)/(1-z))/(1 + (2-x^2)z +z^2). See the link for a proof. Therefore the coefficients constitute the Riordan array (1/(1-x^2),x/(1+x)^2) found as A158454.
The o.g.f. for S(2*k,sqrt(x))^2 is
(1-2*(1-x)*z+z^2)/((1-z)*(1 - (2-4*x+x^2)*z + z^2)).
The o.g.f. for (S(2*k+1,sqrt(x))^2)/x is
((1+z)/(1-z))/(1 - (2-4*x+x^2)*z + z^2).
The row sums A011655(n+1) are the same as those for the triangle A158454.
The alternating row sums for even numbered rows (-1)^n*A007598(n+1) coincide with those of triangle A158454. For odd row numbers n=2k+1 these sums are A049684(k+1), k >= 0 (squares of even-indexed Fibonacci numbers).
