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

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.

			a(31)=627625976637472254550352492162870816129760 was computed using Kreimer's Hopf algebra of rooted trees. It subsumes 2.6*10^21 terms in quantum field theory.
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 4*x^3 + 27*x^4 + 248*x^5 + 2830*x^6 +...
where d/dx (A(x) - 1)^2/x = 1 + 4*x + 27*x^2 + 248*x^3 + 2830*x^4 +...

Related to Schröder's second problem.
A001006 gives number of ways of drawing any number of nonintersecting chords between n points on a circle, while this sequence gives number of ways of drawing noncrossing chords between n points on a circle. The difference is that nonintersection chords have no point in common, while noncrossing chords may share an endpoint. - David W. Wilson, Jan 30 2003
For n>0, a(n) = number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n-1,n-1) that consist of steps (i,j), i,j nonnegative integers not both 0 and that stay strictly below the line y=x except at their endpoints. For example, a(3)=8 counts the paths with following step sequences: {(2, 2)}, {(2, 1), (0, 1)}, {(2, 0), (0, 2)}, {(2, 0), (0, 1), (0, 1)}, {(1, 0), (1, 2)}, {(1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)}, {(1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 2)}, {(1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1), (0, 1)}. If the word "strictly" is replaced by "weakly", the counting sequence becomes A059435. - David Callan, Jun 07 2006
The nodes on the circle are distinguished by their positions but are otherwise unlabeled. - Lee A. Newberg, Aug 09 2011

Conjecture: Also the number of simple graphs with vertices {1..n} not containing any pair of nesting edges. Two edges {a,b}, {c,d} where a < b and c < d are nesting if a < c and b > d or a > c and b < d. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 8 non-nesting edge-sets are:
  {}  {}  {}    {}

A set partition of {1,...,n} 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. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 19 2019

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798. The multiset multisystem of n is obtained by taking the multiset of prime indices of each prime index of n.

A multiset of multisets is crossing if it contains a 2-element submultiset of the form {{...x...y...}, {...z...t...}} where x < z < y < t or z < x < t < y.

			The sequence of terms together with their multiset multisystems begins:

Two edges {x,y}, {z,t} are crossing if either x < z < y < t or z < x < t < y. If the vertices are arranged in a circle, this is equivalent to crossing of chords.

Covering means there are no isolated vertices.

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

In this interpretation, both intersecting (set theoretically) and crossing (topologically) edges are considered connected. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 23 2019

			G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 4*x^3 + 39*x^4 + 748*x^5 + 27162*x^6 +...
Let F(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 8*x^3 + 64*x^4 + 1024*x^5 +...+ 2^(n*(n-1)/2)*x^n +..
then A(x) = F(x/A(x)), A(x*F(x)) = F(x).
Coefficient of x^n in A(x)^(n+1)/(n+1) = 2^(n*(n-1)/2),
as can be seen by the main diagonal in the array of
coefficients in the initial powers of A(x):
A^1: [(1), 1, 1, 4, 39, 748, 27162, 1880872, 252273611,...;
A^2: [1, (2), 3, 10, 87, 1582, 55914, 3817876, 508370795,...;
A^3: [1, 3, (6), 19, 147, 2517, 86398, 5813550, 768378627,...;
A^4: [1, 4, 10, (32), 223, 3572, 118778, 7870640, 1032387787,...;
A^5: [1, 5, 15, 50, (320), 4771, 153245, 9992130, 1300492845,...;
A^6: [1, 6, 21, 74, 444, (6144), 190023, 12181278, 1572792585,...;
A^7: [1, 7, 28, 105, 602, 7728, (229376), 14441659, 1849390375,...;
A^8: [1, 8, 36, 144, 802, 9568, 271616, (16777216), 2130394591,...;
A^9: [1, 9, 45, 192, 1053, 11718, 317112, 19192320, (2415919104),...;
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.:
log(F(x)) = x + 3*x^2/2 + 19*x^3/3 + 223*x^4/4 + 4771*x^5/5 +...
