Number of balanced strings of length n: let d(S) = #(1's) - #(0's), # == count in S, then S is balanced if every substring T of S has -2 <= d(T) <= 2.
Number of "fold lines" seen when a rectangular piece of paper is folded n+1 times along alternate orthogonal directions and then unfolded. - Quim Castellsaguer (qcastell(AT)pie.xtec.es), Dec 30 1999
Also the number of binary strings with the property that, when scanning from left to right, once the first 1 is seen in position j, there must be a 1 in positions j+2, j+4, ... until the end of the string. (Positions j+1, j+3, ... can be occupied by 0 or 1.) - Jeffrey Shallit, Sep 02 2002
a(n-1) is also the Moore lower bound on the order of a (3,n)-cage. - Eric W. Weisstein, May 20 2003 and Jason Kimberley, Oct 30 2011

From John P. McSorley, Sep 28 2010: (Start)
a(n) = DPE(n+1) is the total number of k-double-palindromes of n up to cyclic equivalence. See sequence A180918 for the definitions of a k-double-palindrome of n and of cyclic equivalence. Sequence A180918 is the 'DPE(n,k)' triangle read by rows where DPE(n,k) is the number of k-double-palindromes of n up to cyclic equivalence. For example, we have a(4) = DPE(5) = DPE(5,1) + DPE(5,2) + DPE(5,3) + DPE(5,4) + DPE(5,5) = 0 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6.
The 6 double-palindromes of 5 up to cyclic equivalence are 14, 23, 113, 122, 1112, 11111. They come from cyclic equivalence classes {14,41}, {23,32}, {113,311,131}, {122,212,221}, {1112,2111,1211,1121}, and {11111}. Hence a(n)=DPE(n+1) is the total number of cyclic equivalence classes of n containing at least one double-palindrome.

For n > 0, there is a red-black tree of height n with a(n-1) internal nodes and none with less.
In order a red-black tree of given height has minimal number of nodes, it has exactly 1 path with strictly alternating red and black nodes. All nodes outside this height defining path are black.
Consider:
mrbt5                R
                    / \
                   /   \
                  /     \
                 /       B
                /       / \
mrbt4          B       /   B
              / \     B   E E
             /   B   E E
mrbt3       R   E E
           / \
          /   B
mrbt2    B   E E
        / E
mrbt1  R
      E E
(Red nodes shown as R, blacks as B, externals as E.)
Red-black trees mrbt1, mrbt2, mrbt3, mrbt4, mrbt5 of respective heights h = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; all minimal in the number of internal nodes, namely 1, 2, 4, 6, 10.
Recursion (let n = h-1): a(-1) = 0, a(n) = a(n-1) + 2^floor(n/2), n >= 0.

Also the number of strings of length n with the digits 1 and 2 with the property that the sum of the digits of all substrings of uneven length is not divisible by 3. An example with length 8 is 21221121. - Herbert Kociemba, Apr 29 2017
a(n-2) is the number of achiral n-bead necklaces or bracelets using exactly two colors.  For n=4, the four arrangements are AAAB, AABB, ABAB, and ABBB. - Robert A. Russell, Sep 26 2018
Partial sums of powers of 2 repeated 2 times, like A200672 where is 3 times. - Yuchun Ji, Nov 16 2018
Also the number of binary words of length n with cuts-resistance <= 2, where, for the operation of shortening all runs by one, cuts-resistance is the number of applications required to reach an empty word. Explicitly, these are words whose sequence of run-lengths, all of which are 1 or 2, has no odd-length run of 1's sandwiched between two 2's. - Gus Wiseman, Nov 28 2019
Also the number of up-down paths with n steps such that the height difference between the highest and lowest points is at most 2. - Jeremy Dover, Jun 17 2020
Also the number of non-singleton integer compositions of n + 2 with no odd part other than the first or last. Including singletons gives A052955. This is an unsorted (or ordered) version of A351003. The version without even (instead of odd) interior parts is A001911, complement A232580. Note that A000045(n-1) counts compositions without odd parts, with non-singleton case A077896, and A052952/A074331 count non-singleton compositions without even parts. Also the number of compositions y of n + 1 such that y_i = y_{i+1} for all even i. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 19 2022

Example: Partial sums of powers of 2 repeated 2 times:
a(3) = 1+1+2 = 4;
a(4) = 1+1+2+2 = 6;

We define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670 and ranked by A333217.
A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,2,2,2,1) has no alternating permutations, even though it does have the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2). An alternating pattern is necessarily an anti-run (A005649).
Conjecture: Also the number of non-weakly up/down (or down/up) patterns of length n. For example:
- The a(3) = 7 non-weakly up/down patterns:
  (121), (122), (123), (132), (221), (231), (321)
- The a(3) = 7 non-weakly down/up patterns:
  (112), (123), (211), (212), (213), (312), (321)
- The a(3) = 7 non-alternating patterns (see example for more):
  (111), (112), (122), (123), (211), (221), (321)

         (2,1,1)
         (2,2,1)

Also the number of weakly alternating non-strict integer partitions of n, where we define a sequence to be weakly alternating if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with either.

A number's prime signature (row n of A124010) is the sequence of positive exponents in its prime factorization.

Also numbers whose multiset of prime factors is not weakly alternating, where we define a sequence to be weakly alternating if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with either. This sequence looks at the somewhat degenerate case where no strict decreases are allowed.

We define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670 and ranked by A333217.
We define a sequence to be weakly alternating if it is alternately weakly increasing and weakly decreasing, starting with either.
Conjecture: The directed cases, which count non-weakly up/down or non-weakly down/up patterns, are both equal to the strong case: A350252.
