%C A172481 The binomial transform is in A126184.
%C A172481 An elephant sequence, see A175654 and A175655. There are 24 A[5] vectors, with decimal values between 7 and 448, that lead for the corner squares to this sequence. Its companion sequence for the central square is A175656. Furthermore there are 36 A[5] vectors, with decimal values between 15 and 480, that lead for the central square to four times this sequence for n >= -1. Its companion sequence for the corner squares is A059570. - _Johannes W. Meijer_, Aug 15 2010
%C A172481 a(n) is also the number of runs of weakly increasing parts in all compositions of n+1. a(2) = 5: (111), (12), (2)(1), (3). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Apr 30 2017
