All binary self-dual codes of length 2n, for n > 0, must contain at least a(n) codewords of weight n. More to the point, there will always be at least one, perhaps unique, binary self-dual code of length 2n that will contain exactly a(n) codewords that have a hamming weight equal to half the length of the code (n). This code can be constructed by direct summing the unique binary self-dual code of length 2 (up to permutation equivalence) to itself n times. A permutation equivalent code can be constructed by augmenting two identity matrices of length n together. - Nathan J. Russell, Nov 25 2018

a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n+1} (-1)^(k+binomial(n+2,2)) * k/(n+1) * binomial(n+1,k)^2.
(n + 1)*(2*n - 1)*a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)*2*a(n-1) + 4*(n - 1)*(2*n + 1)*a(n-2) with a(0) = a(1) = 1. (End)
a(n) = Integral_{x=-2..2} x^n*W(x)*dx, n>=0, where W(x) = sqrt((2+x)/(2-x))/(2*Pi) is a positive function on x=(-2,2) and is singular at x = 2. Therefore a(n) is a positive definite sequence. - Karol A. Penson, May 12 2025

First differences of central binomial coefficients: a(n) = A001405(n+1) - A001405(n).
The maximum size of an intersecting (or proper) antichain on an n-set. - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 27 2000
Number of ordered trees with n+1 edges, having root of degree at least 2 and nonroot nodes of outdegree 0 or 2. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 02 2002
a(n)=number of Dyck (n+1)-paths that are symmetric but not prime. A prime Dyck path is one that returns to the x-axis only at its terminal point. For example a(3)=3 counts UDUUDDUD, UUDDUUDD, UDUDUDUD. - David Callan, Dec 09 2004
Number of involutions of [n+2] containing the pattern 132 exactly once. For example, a(3)=3 because we have 1'3'2'45, 42'5'13' and 52'4'3'1 (the entries corresponding to the pattern 132 are "primed"). - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 17 2005
Also number of ways to put n eggs in floor(n/2) baskets where order of the baskets matters and all baskets have at least 1 egg. - Ben Paul Thurston, Sep 30 2006
For n >= 1 the number of standard Young tableaux with shapes corresponding to partitions into at most 2 distinct parts. - Joerg Arndt, Oct 25 2012
It seems that 3, 4, 10, ... are Colbourn's Covering Array Numbers CAN(2,k,2). - Ryan Dougherty, May 27 2015
Essentially the same as A007007. - Georg Fischer, Oct 02 2018
a(n) is the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} that contain exactly 1 more odd than even elements. For example, for n = 6, a(6) = 15 and the 15 sets are {1}, {3}, {5}, {1,2,3}, {1,2,5}, {1,3,4}, {1,3,6}, {1,4,5}, {1,5,6}, {2,3,5}, {3,4,5}, {3,5,6}, {1,2,3,4,5}, {1,2,3,5,6}, {1,3,4,5,6}. - Enrique Navarrete, Dec 21 2019
a(n) is the number of lattice paths of n steps taken from the step set {U=(1,1), D=(1,-1)} that start at the origin, never go below the x-axis, and end strictly above the x-axis; more succinctly, proper left factors of Dyck paths. For example, a(3)=3 counts UUU, UUD, UDU, and a(4)=4 counts UUUU, UUUD, UUDU, UDUU. - David Callan and Emeric Deutsch, Jan 25 2021
For n >= 3, a(n) is also the number of pinnacle sets in the (n-2)-Plummer-Toft graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Sep 11 2024

Convolution of A001405 and A126120 shifted right: g001405(x)*g126120(x) = g037952(x)/x. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 17 2007
D-finite with recurrence: (n+2)*a(n) + (-n-2)*a(n-1) + 2*(-2*n+1)*a(n-2) + 4*(n-2)*a(n-3) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 25 2013. Proved by Robert Israel, Nov 13 2014
For n > 0: a(n) = A265848(n,0). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 24 2015
a(n) = binomial(n, (n-2)/2) = A001791(n/2), n even; a(n) = binomial(n, (n+1)/2) = A001700((n-1)/2), n odd. - Enrique Navarrete, Dec 21 2019
From R. J. Mathar, Sep 23 2021: (Start)
A001405(n) = a(n) + A000108(n/2), where A(.)=0 for non-integer arguments.

From Amiram Eldar, Sep 27 2024: (Start)
