Perturbation expansion in quantum field theory: spinor case in 4 spacetime dimensions.
a(n)*2^(-n) is the coefficient of the x^(2*n-1) term in the series reversal of the asymptotic expansion of 2*DawsonF(x) = sqrt(Pi)*exp(-x^2)*erfi(x) for x -> inf. - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Apr 23 2016
The September 2018 talk by Noam Zeilberger (see link to video) connects three topics (planar maps, Tamari lattices, lambda calculus) and eight sequences: A000168, A000260, A000309, A000698, A000699, A002005, A062980, A267827. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 17 2018
A set partition is topologically connected if the graph whose vertices are the blocks and whose edges are crossing pairs of blocks is connected, where two blocks cross each other if they are of the form {{...x...y...},{...z...t...}} for some x < z < y < t or z < x < t < y. Then a(n) is the number of topologically connected 2-uniform set partitions of {1...2n}. See my links for examples. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 23 2019
From Julien Courtiel, Oct 09 2024: (Start)
a(n) is the number of rooted bridgeless combinatorial maps with n edges (genus is not fixed). A map is bridgeless if it has no edge whose removal disconnects the graph. For example, for n=2, there are 4 bridgeless maps with 2 edges: 2 planar maps with 1 vertex (either two consecutive loops, or two nested loops), 1 toric map with 1 vertex, and 1 planar map with 2 vertices connected by a double edge.
Also, a(n) is the number of trees with n edges equipped with a binary tubing. A tube is a connected subgraph. A binary tubing of a tree is a nested set collection S of tubes such that 1. S contains the tube of all vertices 2. Every tube of S is either reduced to one vertex, or it can be can partitioned by 2 tubes of S.

Also called the relaxed ménage problem (cf. A000179).
a(n) can be seen as a subset of the unordered pairings of the first 2n integers (A001147) with forbidden pairs (1,2n) and (i,i+1) for all i in [1,2n-1] (all adjacent integers modulo 2n). The linear version of this constraint is A000806. - Olivier Gérard, Feb 08 2011
Number of perfect matchings in the complement of C_{2n} where C_{2n} is the cycle graph on 2n vertices. - Andrew Howroyd, Mar 15 2016
Also the number of 2-uniform set partitions of {1...2n} containing no two cyclically successive vertices in the same block. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 27 2019

A set partition is crossing if it contains a pair of blocks of the form {{...x...y...}, {...z...t...}} where x < z < y < t or z < x < t < y.

The topologically connected components of a set partition correspond to the blocks of its minimal non-crossing coarsening.

a(n) is the number of graphs on vertices 1,...,n such that, when these vertices are arranged counterclockwise around a circle and edges are drawn as straight line segments, the resulting diagram is connected. - Jonathan Novak (j2novak(AT)math.uwaterloo.ca), Apr 30 2010

dividing each diagonal term in row n by (n+1) gives 2^(n*(n-1)/2).
The diagonal above the main diagonal gives coefficients of l.g.f.:
