Number of parallelogram polyominoes having n+1 columns and n+1 rows. - Emeric Deutsch, May 21 2003
Number of tilings of an  hexagon.
a(n) is the number of non-crossing partitions of [2n+1] into n+1 blocks. For example, a[1] counts 13-2, 1-23, 12-3. - David Callan, Jul 25 2005
The number of returning walks of length 2n on the upper half of a square lattice, since a(n) = Sum_{k=0..2n} binomial(2n,k)*A126120(k)*A126869(n-k). - Andrew V. Sutherland, Mar 24 2008
For sequences counting walks in the upper half-plane starting from the origin and finishing at the lattice points (0,m) see A145600 (m = 1), A145601 (m = 2), A145602 (m = 3) and A145603 (m = 4). - Peter Bala, Oct 14 2008
The number of proper mergings of two n-chains. - Henri Mühle, Aug 17 2012
a(n) is number of pairs of non-intersecting lattice paths from (0,0) to (n+1,n+1) using (1,0) and (0,1) as steps. Here, non-intersecting means two paths do not share a vertex except the origin and the destination. For example, a(1) = 3 because we have three such pairs from (0,0) to (2,2): {NNEE,EENN}, {NNEE,ENEN}, {NENE,EENN}. - Ran Pan, Oct 01 2015
Also the number of ordered rooted trees with 2(n+1) nodes and n+1 leaves, i.e., half of the nodes are leaves. These trees are ranked by A358579. The unordered version is A185650. - Gus Wiseman, Nov 27 2022
The number of secondary GL(2) invariants constructed from n+1 two component vectors. This number was evaluated by using the Molien-Weyl formula to compute the Hilbert series of the ring of invariants. - Jaco van Zyl, Jun 30 2025

Number of walks of length 2*n+2 between any two diametrically opposite vertices of the cycle graph C_8. - Herbert Kociemba, Jul 02 2004
If we consider a(4*k+2), then 2^4 == 3^4 == 3 (mod 13); 2^(4*k+2) + 3^(4*k+2) == 3^k*(4+9) == 3*0 == 0 (mod 13). So a(4*k+2) can never be prime. - Jose Brox, Dec 27 2005
If k is odd, then a(n*k) is divisible by a(n), since: a(n*k) = (2^n)^k + (3^n)^k = (2^n + 3^n)*((2^n)^(k-1) - (2^n)^(k-2) (3^n) + - ... + (3^n)^(k-1)). So the only possible primes in the sequence are a(0) and a(2^n) for n>=1. I've checked that a(2^n) is composite for 3 <= n <= 15. As with Fermat primes, a probabilistic argument suggests that there are only finitely many primes in the sequence. - Dean Hickerson, Dec 27 2005
Let x,y,z be elements from some power set P(n), i.e., the power set of a set of n elements. Define a function f(x,y,z) in the following manner: f(x,y,z) = 1 if x is a subset of y and y is a subset of z and x does not equal z; f(x,y,z) = 0 if x is not a subset of y or y is not a subset of z or x equals z. Now sum f(x,y,z) for all x,y,z of P(n). This gives a(n). - Ross La Haye, Dec 26 2005

Second binomial transform of A032443 with interpolated zeros.
a(n) is the total number of lattice points, taken over all Dyck n-paths (A000108), that (i) lie on or above ground level and (ii) lie on or directly below a peak. For example with n = 2, UUDD has 1 peak contributing 3 lattice points--(2, 0), (2, 1) and (2, 2) when the path starts at the origin--and UDUD has 2 peaks, each contributing 2 lattice points and so a(2) = 3 + 4 = 7. - David Callan, Jul 14 2006
Hankel transform is binomial(n + 2, 2). - Paul Barry, Dec 04 2007

Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) with steps E=(1,0) and N=(0,1) which touch or cross the line x-y=2. Example: For n=3 there are 6 paths EEENNN, EENENN, EENNEN, EENNNE, ENEENN and NEEENN. - Herbert Kociemba, May 23 2004
Number of dissections of a convex (n+3)-gon by noncrossing diagonals into several regions, exactly n-2 of which are triangular. Example: a(3)=6 because the convex hexagon ABCDEF is dissected by any of the diagonals AC, BD, CE, DF, EA, FB into regions containing exactly 1 triangle. - Emeric Deutsch, May 31 2004
Number of UUU's (triple rises), where U=(1,1), in all Dyck paths of semilength n+1. Example: a(3)=6 because we have UD(UUU)DDD, (UUU)DDDUD, (UUU)DUDDD, (UUU)DDUDD and (U[UU)U]DDDD, the triple rises being shown between parentheses. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 03 2004

Sum of the jump-lengths of all full binary trees with n internal nodes. In the preorder traversal of a full binary tree, any transition from a node at a deeper level to a node on a strictly higher level is called a jump; the positive difference of the levels is called the jump distance; the sum of the jump distances in a given full binary tree is called the jump-length. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 18 2007
a(n) = number of convex polyominoes (A005436) of perimeter 2n+4 that are directed but not parallelogram polyominoes, because the directed convex polyominoes are counted by the central binomial coefficient binomial(2n,n) and the subset of parallelogram polyominoes is counted by the Catalan number C(n+1) = binomial(2n+2,n+1)/(n+2) and a(n) = binomial(2n,n) - C(n+1). - David Callan, Nov 29 2007
a(n) = number of DUU's in all Dyck paths of semilength n+1. Example: a(3)=6 because we have UU(DUU)DDD, U(DUU)UDDD, U(DUU)DUDD, UDU(DUU)DD, U(DUU)DDUD, UUD(DUU)DD, the DUU's being shown between parentheses and no other Dyck path of semilength 4 contains a DUU. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008

a(n) is the sum of pyramid weights of all Dyck paths of length 2n (for pyramid weight see Denise and Simion). Equivalently, a(n) is the sum of the total lengths of end branches of an ordered tree, summation being over all ordered trees with n edges. For example, the five ordered trees with 3 edges have total lengths of endbranches 3,2,3,3 and 3. - Emeric Deutsch, May 30 2003
a(n) is the number of Motzkin paths of length 2n with exactly one level segment. (A level segment is a maximal sequence of contiguous flatsteps.) Example: for n=2, the paths counted are FFFF, FFUD, UDFF, UFFD. The formula for a(n) below counts these paths by length of the level segment. - David Callan, Jul 15 2004

Coxeter-Catalan numbers for Coxeter groups of type D_n [Armstrong]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 09 2022
a(n+1) is the number of ways that a best of n pairs contest with early termination can go. For example, the first stage of an association football (soccer) penalty-kick shoot out has n=5 pairs of shots and there are a(6)=672 distinct ways it can go. For n=2 pairs, writing G for goal and M for miss, and listing the up-to-four shots in chronological order with teams alternating shots, the n(3)=14 possibilities are MMMM, MMMG, MMGM, MMGG, MGM, MGGM, MGGG, GMMM, GMMG, GMG, GGMM, GGMG, GGGM, and GGGG. Not all four shots are taken in two cases because it becomes impossible for one team to overcome the lead of the other team. - Lee A. Newberg, Jul 20 2024

N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 23 2003

Row sums: A006318 (Schroeder numbers). Essentially same as triangle A060693 transposed.
T(n,k) is number of Schroeder paths (i.e., consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=(2,0) and never going below the x-axis) from (0,0) to (2n,0), having k U's. E.g., T(2,1)=3 because we have UHD, UDH and HUD. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 06 2003
Little Schroeder numbers A001003 have a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A088617(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k)*2^k. - Paul Barry, May 24 2005
Conjecture: The expected number of U's in a Schroeder n-path is asymptotically Sqrt[1/2]*n for large n. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008
T(n, k) is also the number of order-preserving and order-decreasing partial transformations (of an n-chain) of width k (width(alpha) = |Dom(alpha)|). - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008
The antidiagonals of this lower triangular matrix are the rows of A055151. - Tom Copeland, Jun 17 2015

From Peter Bala, Jul 20 2015: (Start)
O.g.f. A(x,t) = ( 1 - x - sqrt((1 - x)^2 - 4*x*t) )/(2*x*t) = 1 + (1 + t)*x + (1 + 3*t + 2*t^2)*x^2 + ....
1 + x*(dA(x,t)/dx)/A(x,t) = 1 + (1 + t)*x + (1 + 4*t + 3*t^2)*x^2 + ... is the o.g.f. for A123160.
For n >= 1, the n-th row polynomial equals (1 + t)/(n+1)*Jacobi_P(n-1,1,1,2*t+1). Removing a factor of 1 + t from the row polynomials gives the row polynomials of A033282. (End)
From Tom Copeland, Jan 22 2016: (Start)
The o.g.f. G(x,t) = {1 - (2t+1) x - sqrt[1 - (2t+1) 2x + x^2]}/2x = (t + t^2) x + (t + 3t^2 + 2t^3) x^2 + (t + 6t^2 + 10t^3 + 5t^3) x^3 + ... generating shifted rows of this entry, excluding the first, was given in my 2008 formulas for A033282 with an o.g.f. f1(x,t) = G(x,t)/(1+t) for A033282. Simple transformations presented there of f1(x,t) are related to A060693 and A001263, the Narayana numbers. See also A086810.
The inverse of G(x,t) is essentially given in A033282 by x1, the inverse of f1(x,t): Ginv(x,t) = x [1/(t+x) - 1/(1+t+x)] = [((1+t) - t) / (t(1+t))] x - [((1+t)^2 - t^2) / (t(1+t))^2] x^2 + [((1+t)^3 - t^3) / (t(1+t))^3] x^3 - ... . The coefficients in t of Ginv(xt,t) are the o.g.f.s of the diagonals of the Pascal triangle A007318 with signed rows and an extra initial column of ones. The numerators give the row o.g.f.s of signed A074909.
Rows of A088617 are shifted columns of A107131, whose reversed rows are the Motzkin polynomials of A055151, related to A011973. The diagonals of A055151 give the rows of A088671, and the antidiagonals (top to bottom) of A088617 give the rows of A107131 and reversed rows of A055151. The diagonals of A107131 give the columns of A055151. The antidiagonals of A088617 (bottom to top) give the rows of A055151.
