D. E. Knuth writes: "Before Fibonacci wrote his work, the sequence F_{n} had already been discussed by Indian scholars, who had long been interested in rhythmic patterns that are formed from one-beat and two-beat notes. The number of such rhythms having n beats altogether is F_{n+1}; therefore both Gopāla (before 1135) and Hemachandra (c. 1150) mentioned the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... explicitly." (TAOCP Vol. 1, 2nd ed.) - Peter Luschny, Jan 11 2015
In keeping with historical accounts (see the references by P. Singh and S. Kak), the generalized Fibonacci sequence a, b, a + b, a + 2b, 2a + 3b, 3a + 5b, ... can also be described as the Gopala-Hemachandra numbers H(n) = H(n-1) + H(n-2), with F(n) = H(n) for a = b = 1, and Lucas sequence L(n) = H(n) for a = 2, b = 1. - Lekraj Beedassy, Jan 11 2015
Susantha Goonatilake writes: "[T]his sequence was well known in South Asia and used in the metrical sciences. Its development is attributed in part to Pingala (200 BC), later being associated with Virahanka (circa 700 AD), Gopala (circa 1135), and Hemachandra (circa 1150)—all of whom lived and worked prior to Fibonacci." (Toward a Global Science: Mining Civilizational Knowledge, p. 126) - Russ Cox, Sep 08 2021
Also sometimes called Hemachandra numbers.
Also sometimes called Lamé's sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence, like any additive sequence, naturally tends to be geometric with common ratio not a rational power of 10; consequently, for a sufficiently large number of terms, Benford's law of first significant digit (i.e., first digit 1 <= d <= 9 occurring with probability log_10(d+1) - log_10(d)) holds. - Lekraj Beedassy, Apr 29 2005 (See Brown-Duncan, 1970. - N.

A result of Jacobi from 1848 states that every symmetric matrix over a p.i.d. is congruent to a triple-diagonal matrix. Consider the maximal number T(n) of summands in the determinant of an n X n triple-diagonal matrix. This is the same as the number of summands in such a determinant in which the main-, sub- and superdiagonal elements are all nonzero. By expanding on the first row we see that the sequence of T(n)'s is the Fibonacci sequence without the initial stammer on the 1's. - Larry Gerstein (gerstein(AT)math.ucsb.edu), Mar 30 2007
Suppose psi=log(phi). We get the representation F(n)=(2/sqrt(5))*sinh(n*psi) if n is even; F(n)=(2/sqrt(5))*cosh(n*psi) if n is odd. There is a similar representation for Lucas numbers (A000032). Many Fibonacci formulas now easily follow from appropriate sinh and cosh formulas. For example: the de Moivre theorem (cosh(x)+sinh(x))^m = cosh(mx)+sinh(mx) produces L(n)^2 + 5F(n)^2 = 2L(2n) and L(n)F(n) = F(2n) (setting x=n*psi and m=2). - Hieronymus Fischer, Apr 18 2007
Inverse: floor(log_phi(sqrt(5)*F(n)) + 1/2) = n, for n > 1. Also for n > 0, floor((1/2)*log_phi(5*F(n)*F(n+1))) = n. Extension valid for integer n, except n=0,-1: floor((1/2)*sign(F(n)*F(n+1))*log_phi|5*F(n)*F(n+1)|) = n (where sign(x) = sign of x). - Hieronymus Fischer, May 02 2007
F(n+2) = the number of Khalimsky-continuous functions with a two-point codomain. - Shiva Samieinia (shiva(AT)math.su.se), Oct 04 2007

Except for the initial term, the numerator of the convergents to the recursion x = 1/(x+1). - Cino Hilliard, Sep 15 2008
F(n) is the number of possible binary sequences of length n that obey the sequential construction rule: if last symbol is 0, add the complement (1); else add 0 or 1. Here 0,1 are metasymbols for any 2-valued symbol set. This rule has obvious similarities to JFJ Laros's rule, but is based on addition rather than substitution and creates a tree rather than a single sequence. - Ross Drewe, Oct 05 2008

F(n+1) = number of Motzkin paths of length n having exactly one weak ascent. A Motzkin path of length n is a lattice path from (0,0) to (n,0) consisting of U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(1,0) steps and never going below the x-axis. A weak ascent in a Motzkin path is a maximal sequence of consecutive U and H steps. Example: a(5)=5 because we have (HHHH), (HHU)D, (HUH)D, (UHH)D, and (UU)DD (the unique weak ascent is shown between parentheses; see A114690). - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 11 2010
(F(n-1) + F(n+1))^2 - 5*F(n-2)*F(n+2) = 9*(-1)^n. - Mohamed Bouhamida, Mar 31 2010
From the Pinter and Ziegler reference's abstract: authors "show that essentially the Fibonacci sequence is the unique binary recurrence which contains infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions.

From Hieronymus Fischer, Oct 20 2010: (Start)
Fibonacci numbers are those numbers m such that m*phi is closer to an integer than k*phi for all k, 1 <= k < m. More formally: a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=1, a(n+1) = minimal m > a(n) such that m*phi is closer to an integer than a(n)*phi.
For all numbers 1 <= k < F(n), the inequality |k*phi-round(k*phi)| > |F(n)*phi-round(F(n)*phi)| holds.
F(n)*phi - round(F(n)*phi) = -((-phi)^(-n)), for n > 1.
Fract(1/2 + F(n)*phi) = 1/2 -(-phi)^(-n), for n > 1.
Fract(F(n)*phi) = (1/2)*(1 + (-1)^n) - (-phi)^(-n), n > 1.
Inverse: n = -log_phi |1/2 - fract(1/2 + F(n)*phi)|.

From Bridget Tenner, Feb 22 2012: (Start)
The number of free permutations of [n].

The sequence F(n+1)^(1/n) is increasing. The sequence F(n+2)^(1/n) is decreasing. - Thomas Ordowski, Apr 19 2012
Two conjectures: For n > 1, F(n+2)^2 mod F(n+1)^2 = F(n)*F(n+1) - (-1)^n. For n > 0, (F(2n) + F(2n+2))^2 = F(4n+3) + Sum_{k = 2..2n} F(2k). - Alex Ratushnyak, May 06 2012
From Ravi Kumar Davala, Jan 30 2014: (Start)
Proof of Ratushnyak's first conjecture: For n > 1, F(n+2)^2 - F(n)*F(n+1) + (-1)^n = 2*F(n+1)^2.
Consider: F(n+2)^2 - F(n)*F(n+1) - 2*F(n+1)^2
         = F(n+2)^2 - F(n+1)^2 - F(n+1)^2 - F(n)*F(n+1)
         = (F(n+2) + F(n+1))*(F(n+2) - F(n+1)) - F(n+1)*(F(n+1) + F(n))
         = F(n+3)*F(n) - F(n+1)*F(n+2) = -(-1)^n.
Proof of second conjecture: L(n) stands for Lucas number sequence from A000032.
Consider the fact that
    L(2n+1)^2 = L(4n+2) - 2
   (F(2n) + F(2n+2))^2 = F(4n+1) + F(4n+3) - 2
   (F(2n) + F(2n+2))^2 = (Sum_{k = 2..2n} F(2k)) + F(4n+3).

The relationship: INVERT transform of (1,1,0,0,0,...) = (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...), while the INVERT transform of (1,0,1,0,1,0,1,...) = (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...) is equivalent to: The numbers of compositions using parts 1 and 2 is equivalent to the numbers of compositions using parts == 1 (mod 2) (i.e., the odd integers). Generally, the numbers of compositions using parts 1 and k is equivalent to the numbers of compositions of (n+1) using parts 1 mod k. Cf. A000930 for k = 3 and A003269 for k = 4. Example: for k = 2, n = 4 we have the compositions (22; 211, 121; 112; 1111) = 5; but using parts 1 and 3 we have for n = 5: (311, 131, 113, 11111, 5) = 5. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 05 2012
The sequence F(n) is the binomial transformation of the alternating sequence (-1)^(n-1)*F(n), whereas the sequence F(n+1) is the binomial transformation of the alternating sequence (-1)^n*F(n-1). Both of these facts follow easily from the equalities a(n;1)=F(n+1) and b(n;1)=F(n) where a(n;d) and b(n;d) are so-called "delta-Fibonacci" numbers as defined in comments to A014445 (see also the papers of Witula et al.). - Roman Witula, Jul 24 2012
F(n) is the number of different (n-1)-digit binary numbers such that all substrings of length > 1 have at least one digit equal to 1. Example: for n = 5 there are 8 binary numbers with n - 1 = 4 digits (1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111), only the F(n) = 5 numbers 1010, 1011, 1101, 1110 and 1111 have the desired property. - Hieronymus Fischer, Nov 30 2012
For positive n, F(n+1) equals the determinant of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 1's along the main diagonal, i's along the superdiagonal and along the subdiagonal where i = sqrt(-1). Example: Det([1,i,0,0; i,1,i,0; 0,i,1,i; 0,0,i,1]) = F(4+1) = 5. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 24 2013
For n >= 1, number of compositions of n where there is a drop between every second pair of parts, starting with the first and second part; see example. Also, a(n+1) is the number of compositions where there is a drop between every second pair of parts, starting with the second and third part; see example. - Joerg Arndt, May 21 2013 [see the Hopkins/Tangboonduangjit reference for a proof, see also the Checa reference for alternative proofs and statistics]

For n >= 4, F(n-1) is the number of simple permutations in the geometric grid class given in A226433. - Jay Pantone, Sep 08 2013
a(n) are the pentagon (not pentagonal) numbers because the algebraic degree 2 number rho(5) = 2*cos(Pi/5) = phi (golden section), the length ratio diagonal/side in a pentagon, has minimal polynomial C(5,x) = x^2 - x - 1 (see A187360, n=5), hence rho(5)^n = a(n-1)*1 + a(n)*rho(5), n >= 0, in the power basis of the algebraic number field Q(rho(5)). One needs a(-1) = 1 here. See also the P. Steinbach reference under A049310. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 01 2013
A010056(a(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 10 2013
Define F(-n) to be F(n) for n odd and -F(n) for n even. Then for all n and k, F(n+2k)^2 - F(n)^2 = F(n+k)*( F(n+3k) - F(n-k) ). - Charlie Marion, Dec 20 2013
( F(n), F(n+2k) ) satisfies the Diophantine equation: X^2 + Y^2 - L(2k)*X*Y = F(4k)^2*(-1)^n. This generalizes Bouhamida's comments dated Sep 06 2009 and Sep 08 2009. - Charlie Marion, Jan 07 2014
For any prime p there is an infinite periodic subsequence within F(n) divisible by p, that begins at index n = 0 with value 0, and its first nonzero term at n = A001602(i), and period k = A001602(i). Also see A236479. - Richard R. Forberg, Jan 26 2014

The expression round(1/(F(k+1)/F(n) + F(k)/F(n+1))), for n > 0, yields a Fibonacci sequence with k-1 leading zeros (with rounding 0.5 to 0). - Richard R. Forberg, Aug 04 2014
Conjecture: For n > 0, F(n) is the number of all admissible residue classes for which specific finite subsequences of the Collatz 3n + 1 function consists of n+2 terms. This has been verified for 0 < n < 51. For details see Links. - Mike Winkler, Oct 03 2014

Let P(x) = x/(1+x) with comp. inverse Pinv(x) = x/(1-x) = -P[-x], and C(x) = [1-sqrt(1-4x)]/2, an o.g.f. for the shifted Catalan numbers A000108, with inverse Cinv(x) = x * (1-x).
Fin(x) = P[C(x)] = C(x)/[1 + C(x)] is an o.g.f. for the Fine numbers, A000957 with inverse Fin^(-1)(x) = Cinv[Pinv(x)] = Cinv[-P(-x)].
Mot(x) = C[P(x)] = C[-Pinv(-x)] gives an o.g.f. for shifted A005043, the Motzkin or Riordan numbers with comp. inverse Mot^(-1)(x) = Pinv[Cinv(x)] = (x - x^2) / (1 - x + x^2) (cf. A057078).
BTC(x) = C[Pinv(x)] gives A007317, a binomial transform of the Catalan numbers, with BTC^(-1)(x) = P[Cinv(x)].
Fib(x) = -Fin[Cinv(Cinv(-x))] = -P[Cinv(-x)] = x + 2 x^2 + 3 x^3 + 5 x^4 + ... = (x+x^2)/[1-x-x^2] is an o.g.f. for the shifted Fibonacci sequence A000045, so the comp. inverse is Fib^(-1)(x) = -C[Pinv(-x)] = -BTC(-x) and Fib(x) = -BTC^(-1)(-x).
Generalizing to P(x,t) = x /(1 + t*x) and Pinv(x,t) = x /(1 - t*x) = -P(-x,t) gives other relations to lattice paths, such as the o.g.f. for A091867, C[P[x,1-t]], and that for A104597, Pinv[Cinv(x),t+1].

We prove Conjecture 1 of Rashid listed in the Formula section.
We use the following notation: F(n)=A000045(n), the Fibonacci numbers, and L(n) = A000032(n), the Lucas numbers. The fundamental Fibonacci-Lucas recursion asserts that G(n) = G(n-1) + G(n-2), with "L" or "F" replacing "G".
We need the following prerequisites which we label (A), (B), (C), (D). The prerequisites are formulas in the Koshy book listed in the References section. (A) F(m-1) + F(m+1) = L(m) (Koshy, p. 97, #32), (B) L(2m) + 2*(-1)^m = L(m)^2 (Koshy p. 97, #41), (C) F(m+k)*F(m-k) = (-1)^n*F(k)^2 (Koshy, p. 113, #24, Tagiuri's identity), and (D) F(n)^2 + F(n+1)^2 = F(2n+1) (Koshy, p. 97, #30).
We must also prove (E), L(n+2)*F(n-1) = F(2n+1)+2*(-1)^n. To prove (E), first note that by (A), proof of (E) is equivalent to proving that F(n+1)*F(n-1) + F(n+3)*F(n-1) = F(2n+1) + 2*(-1)^n. But by (C) with k=1, we have F(n+1)*F(n-1) = F(n)^2 + (-1)^n. Applying (C) again with k=2 and m=n+1, we have F(n+3)*F(n-1) = F(n+1) + (-1)^n. Adding these two applications of (C) together and using (D) we have F(n+1)*F(n-1) + F(n+3)*F(n-1) = F(n)^2 + F(n+1)^2 + 2*(-1)^n = F(2n+1) + 2(-1)^n, completing the proof of (E).
We now prove Conjecture 1. By (A) and the Fibonacci-Lucas recursion, we have F(2n+1) + F(2n+2) + F(2n+3) + F(2n+4) = (F(2n+1) + F(2n+3)) + (F(2n+2) + F(2n+4)) = L(2n+2) +L(2n+3) = L(2n+4). But then by (B), with m=2n+4, we have sqrt(L(2n+4) + 2(-1)^n) = L(n+2). Finally by (E), we have L(n+2)*F(n-1) = F(2n+1) + 2*(-1)^n. Dividing both sides by F(n-1), we have (F(2n+1) + 2*(-1)^n)/F(n-1) = L(n+2) = sqrt(F(2n+1) + F(2n+2) + F(2n+3) + F(2n+4) + 2(-1)^n), as required.

F(n+1) is the number of subsets of {1,2,.,.,n} in which all differences between successive elements of subsets are odd.

F(n) is the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} in which the smallest element of the subset equals the size of the subset (this type of subset is sometimes called extraordinary). For example, F(6) = 8 and the subsets are {1}, {2,3}, {2,4}, {2,5}, {3,4,5}, {2,6}, {3,4,6}, {3,5,6}. It is easy to see that these subsets follow the Fibonacci recursion F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) since we get F(n) such subsets by keeping all F(n-1) subsets from the previous stage (in the example, the F(5)=5 subsets that don't include 6), and by adding one to all elements and appending an additional element n to each subset in F(n-2) subsets (in the example, by applying this to the F(4)=3 subsets {1}, {2,3}, {2,4} we obtain {2,6}, {3,4,6}, {3,5,6}). - Enrique Navarrete, Sep 28 2020

F(n) = ((1+sqrt(5))^n - (1-sqrt(5))^n)/(2^n*sqrt(5)).
Alternatively, F(n) = ((1/2+sqrt(5)/2)^n - (1/2-sqrt(5)/2)^n)/sqrt(5).

x | F(n) ==> x | F(kn).
A sufficient condition for F(m) to be divisible by a prime p is (p - 1) divides m, if p == 1 or 4 (mod 5); (p + 1) divides m, if p == 2 or 3 (mod 5); or 5 divides m, if p = 5. (This is essentially Theorem 180 in Hardy and Wright.) - Fred W. Helenius (fredh(AT)ix.netcom.com), Jun 29 2001

From Kurmang. Aziz. Rashid, Feb 21 2004: (Start)
Conjecture 1: for n >= 2, sqrt(F(2n+1) + F(2n+2) + F(2n+3) + F(2n+4) + 2*(-1)^n) = (F(2n+1) + 2*(-1)^n)/F(n-1). [For a proof see Comments section.]
Conjecture 2: for n >= 0, (F(n+2)*F(n+3)) - (F(n+1)*F(n+4)) + (-1)^n = 0.
[Two more conjectures removed by Peter Luschny, Nov 17 2017]
Theorem 1: for n >= 0, (F(n+3)^ 2 - F(n+1)^ 2)/F(n+2) = (F(n+3)+ F(n+1)).
Theorem 2: for n >= 0, F(n+10) = 11*F(n+5) + F(n).
Theorem 3: for n >= 6, F(n) = 4*F(n-3) + F(n-6). (End)
Conjecture 2 of Rashid is actually a special case of the general law F(n)*F(m) + F(n+1)*F(m+1) = F(n+m+1) (take n <- n+1 and m <- -(n+4) in this law). - Harmel Nestra (harmel.nestra(AT)ut.ee), Apr 22 2005
Conjecture 2 of Rashid Kurmang simplified: F(n)*F(n+3) = F(n+1)*F(n+2)-(-1)^n. Follows from d'Ocagne's identity: m=n+2. - Alex Ratushnyak, May 06 2012
Conjecture: for all c such that 2-phi <= c < 2*(2-phi) we have F(n) = floor(phi*a(n-1)+c) for n > 2. - Gerald McGarvey, Jul 21 2004

F(n*m) = Sum_{k = 0..m} binomial(m,k)*F(n-1)^k*F(n)^(m-k)*F(m-k). The generating function of F(n*m) (n fixed, m = 0,1,2,...) is G(x) = F(n)*x / ((1 - F(n-1)*x)^2 - F(n)*x*(1 - F(n-1)*x) - (F(n)*x)^2). E.g., F(15) = 610 = F(5*3) = binomial(3,0)* F(4)^0*F(5)^3*F(3) + binomial(3,1)* F(4)^1*F(5)^2*F(2) + binomial(3,2)* F(4)^2*F(5)^1*F(1) + binomial(3,3)* F(4)^3*F(5)^0*F(0) = 1*1*125*2 + 3*3*25*1 + 3*9*5*1 + 1*27*1*0 = 250 + 225 + 135 + 0 = 610. - Miklos Kristof, Feb 12 2007

2^0 = 1 is the only odd power of 2.
Number of subsets of an n-set.
There are 2^(n-1) compositions (ordered partitions) of n (see for example Riordan). This is the unlabeled analog of the preferential labelings sequence A000670.
This is also the number of weakly unimodal permutations of 1..n + 1, that is, permutations with exactly one local maximum. E.g., a(4) = 16: 12345, 12354, 12453, 12543, 13452, 13542, 14532 and 15432 and their reversals. - Jon Perry, Jul 27 2003 [Proof: see next line! See also A087783.]
Proof: n must appear somewhere and there are 2^(n-1) possible choices for the subset that precedes it. These must appear in increasing order and the rest must follow n in decreasing order. QED. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 26 2003
a(n+1) is the smallest number that is not the sum of any number of (distinct) earlier terms.

Least deficient or near-perfect numbers (i.e., n such that sigma(n) = A000203(n) = 2n - 1). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jun 03 2004. [Comment from Max Alekseyev, Jan 26 2005: All the powers of 2 are least deficient numbers but it is not known if there exists a least deficient number that is not a power of 2.]
Almost-perfect numbers referred to as least deficient or slightly defective (Singh 1997) numbers. Does "near-perfect numbers" refer to both almost-perfect numbers (sigma(n) = 2n - 1) and quasi-perfect numbers (sigma(n) = 2n + 1)? There are no known quasi-perfect or least abundant or slightly excessive (Singh 1997) numbers.
The sum of the numbers in the n-th row of Pascal's triangle; the sum of the coefficients of x in the expansion of (x+1)^n.
The Collatz conjecture (the hailstone sequence will eventually reach the number 1, regardless of which positive integer is chosen initially) may be restated as (the hailstone sequence will eventually reach a power of 2, regardless of which positive integer is chosen initially).
The only hailstone sequence which doesn't rebound (except "on the ground"). - Alexandre Wajnberg, Jan 29 2005

a(n) is the number of permutations on [n+1] such that every initial segment is an interval of integers. Example: a(3) counts 1234, 2134, 2314, 2341, 3214, 3241, 3421, 4321. The map "p -> ascents of p" is a bijection from these permutations to subsets of [n]. An ascent of a permutation p is a position i such that p(i) < p(i+1). The permutations shown map to 123, 23, 13, 12, 3, 2, 1 and the empty set respectively. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008

The powers-of-2 triangle T(n, k), n >= 0 and 0 <= k <= n, begins with: {1}; {2, 4}; {8, 16, 32}; {64, 128, 256, 512}; ... . The first left hand diagonal T(n, 0) = A006125(n + 1), the first right hand diagonal T(n, n) = A036442(n + 1) and the center diagonal T(2*n, n) = A053765(n + 1). Some triangle sums, see A180662, are: Row1(n) = A122743(n), Row2(n) = A181174(n), Fi1(n) = A181175(n), Fi2(2*n) = A181175(2*n) and Fi2(2*n + 1) = 2*A181175(2*n + 1). - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 10 2010

The mini-sequence b(n) = least number k > 0 such that 2^k ends in n identical digits is given by {1, 18, 39}. The repeating digits are {2, 4, 8} respectively. Note that these are consecutive powers of 2 (2^1, 2^2, 2^3), and these are the only powers of 2 (2^k, k > 0) that are only one digit. Further, this sequence is finite. The number of n-digit endings for a power of 2 with n or more digits id 4*5^(n-1). Thus, for b(4) to exist, one only needs to check exponents up to 4*5^3 = 500. Since b(4) does not exist, it is clear that no other number will exist. - Derek Orr, Jun 14 2014
The least number k > 0 such that 2^k ends in n consecutive decreasing digits is a 3-number sequence given by {1, 5, 25}. The consecutive decreasing digits are {2, 32, 432}. There are 100 different 3-digit endings for 2^k. There are no k-values such that 2^k ends in '987', '876', '765', '654', '543', '321', or '210'. The k-values for which 2^k ends in '432' are given by 25 mod 100. For k = 25 + 100*x, the digit immediately before the run of '432' is {4, 6, 8, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2, ...} for x = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ...}, respectively. Thus, we see the digit before '432' will never be a 5. So, this sequence is complete. - Derek Orr, Jul 03 2014

Number of monotone maps f : [0..n] -> [0..n] which are order-increasing (i <= f(i)) and idempotent (f(f(i)) = f(i)). In other words, monads on the n-th ordinal (seen as a posetal category). Any monad f determines a subset of [0..n] that contains n, by considering its set of monad algebras = fixed points { i | f(i) = i }. Conversely, any subset S of [0..n] containing n determines a monad on [0..n], by the function i |-> min { j | i <= j, j in S }. - Noam Zeilberger, Dec 11 2016

For some authors, the terms "natural numbers" and "counting numbers" include 0, i.e., refer to the nonnegative integers A001477; the term "whole numbers" frequently also designates the whole set of (signed) integers A001057.
a(n) is smallest positive integer which is consistent with sequence being monotonically increasing and satisfying a(a(n)) = n (cf. A007378).
Inverse Euler transform of A000219.
The rectangular array having A000027 as antidiagonals is the dispersion of the complement of the triangular numbers, A000217 (which triangularly form column 1 of this array). The array is also the transpose of A038722. - Clark Kimberling, Apr 05 2003
For nonzero x, define f(n) = floor(nx) - floor(n/x). Then f=A000027 if and only if x=tau or x=-tau. - Clark Kimberling, Jan 09 2005
Numbers of form (2^i)*k for odd k (i.e., n = A006519(n)*A000265(n)); thus n corresponds uniquely to an ordered pair (i,k) where i=A007814, k=A000265 (with A007814(2n)=A001511(n), A007814(2n+1)=0). - Lekraj Beedassy, Apr 22 2006
If the offset were changed to 0, we would have the following pattern: a(n)=binomial(n,0) + binomial(n,1) for the present sequence (number of regions in 1-space defined by n points), A000124 (number of regions in 2-space defined by n straight lines), A000125 (number of regions in 3-space defined by n planes), A000127 (number of regions in 4-space defined by n hyperplanes), A006261, A008859, A008860, A008861, A008862 and A008863, where the last six sequences are interpreted analogously and in each "... by n ..." clause an offset of 0 has been assumed, resulting in a(0)=1 for all of them, which corresponds to the case of not cutting with a hyperplane at all and therefore having one region. - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Oct 19 2006
Define a number of points on a straight line to be in general arrangement when no two points coincide. Then these are the numbers of regions defined by n points in general arrangement on a straight line, when an offset of 0 is assumed. For instance, a(0)=1, since using no point at all leaves one region. The sequence satisfies the recursion a(n) = a(n-1) + 1. This has the following geometrical interpretation: Suppose there are already n-1 points in general arrangement, thus defining the maximal number of regions on a straight line obtainable by n-1 points, and now one more point is added in general arrangement. Then it will coincide with no other point and act as a dividing wall thereby creating one new region in addition to the a(n-1)=(n-1)+1=n regions already there, hence a(n)=a(n-1)+1. Cf. the comments on A000124 for an analogous interpretation. - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Oct 19 2006
The sequence a(n)=n (for n=1,2,3) and a(n)=n+1 (for n=4,5,...) gives to the rank (minimal cardinality of a generating set) for the semigroup I_n\S_n, where I_n and S_n denote the symmetric inverse semigroup and symmetric group on [n]. - James East, May 03 2007
The sequence a(n)=n (for n=1,2), a(n)=n+1 (for n=3) and a(n)=n+2 (for n=4,5,...) gives the rank (minimal cardinality of a generating set) for the semigroup PT_n\T_n, where PT_n and T_n denote the partial transformation semigroup and transformation semigroup on [n]. - James East, May 03 2007
"God made the integers; all else is the work of man." This famous quotation is a translation of "Die ganzen Zahlen hat der liebe Gott gemacht, alles andere ist Menschenwerk," spoken by Leopold Kronecker in a lecture at the Berliner Naturforscher-Versammlung in 1886. Possibly the first publication of the statement is in Heinrich Weber's "Leopold Kronecker," Jahresberichte D.M.V. 2 (1893) 5-31. - Clark Kimberling, Jul 07 2007
Binomial transform of A019590, inverse binomial transform of A001792. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 24 2007
Writing A000027 as N, perhaps the simplest one-to-one correspondence between N X N and N is this: f(m,n) = ((m+n)^2 - m - 3n + 2)/2. Its inverse is given by I(k)=(g,h), where g = k - J(J-1)/2, h = J + 1 - g, J = floor((1 + sqrt(8k - 7))/2). Thus I(1)=(1,1), I(2)=(1,2), I(3)=(2,1) and so on; the mapping I fills the first-quadrant lattice by successive antidiagonals. - Clark Kimberling, Sep 11 2008
a(n) is also the mean of the first n odd integers. - Ian Kent, Dec 23 2008

Triangle T(k,j) of natural numbers, read by rows, with T(k,j) = binomial(k,2) + j = (k^2-k)/2 + j where 1 <= j <= k. In other words, a(n) = n = binomial(k,2) + j where k is the largest integer such that binomial(k,2) < n and j = n - binomial(k,2). For example, T(4,1)=7, T(4,2)=8, T(4,3)=9, and T(4,4)=10. Note that T(n,n)=A000217(n), the n-th triangular number. - Dennis P. Walsh, Nov 19 2009

a(n) = Product_{k=1..n-1} (2*sin(Pi*k/(2*n)))^2, n > 1.
These identities are used in the calculation of products of ratios of lengths of certain lines in a regular n-gon. For the first identity see the Gradstein-Ryshik reference, p. 62, 1.392 1., bringing the first factor there to the left hand side and taking the limit x -> 0 (L'Hôpital). The second line follows from the first one. Thanks to Seppo Mustonen who led me to consider n-gon lengths products. (End)

Changing the offset to 1 gives the arithmetical function a(1) = 1, a(n) = 0 for n > 1, the identity function for Dirichlet multiplication (see Apostol). - N. J. A. Sloane
Changing the offset to 1 makes this the decimal expansion of 1. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 13 2014
Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of A000007 (powers of 0), A000012 (powers of 1), A000079 (powers of 2), A000244 (powers of 3), A000302 (powers of 4), A000351 (powers of 5), A000400 (powers of 6), A000420 (powers of 7), A001018 (powers of 8), A001019 (powers of 9), A011557 (powers of 10), A001020 (powers of 11), etc. - Philippe Deléham, Jul 07 2005

The number of maximal self-avoiding walks from the NW to SW corners of a 1 X n grid. - Sean A. Irvine, Nov 19 2010
Historically there has been some disagreement as to whether 0^0 = 1. Graphing x^0 seems to support that conclusion, but graphing 0^x instead suggests that 0^0 = 0. Euler and Knuth have argued in favor of 0^0 = 1. For some calculators, 0^0 triggers an error, while in Mathematica, 0^0 is Indeterminate. - Alonso del Arte, Nov 15 2011
Another consequence of changing the offset to 1 is that then this sequence can be described as the sum of Moebius mu(d) for the divisors d of n. - Alonso del Arte, Nov 28 2011
With the convention 0^0 = 1, 0^n = 0 for n > 0, the sequence a(n) = 0^|n-k|, which equals 1 when n = k and is 0 for n >= 0, has g.f. x^k. A000007 is the case k = 0. - George F. Johnson, Mar 08 2013

Number of 4321-, (3412,2413)-, (3412,3142)- and 3412-avoiding involutions in S_n.
Number of sequences of length n-1 consisting of positive integers such that the first and last elements are 1 or 2 and the absolute difference between any 2 consecutive elements is 0 or 1. - Jon Perry, Sep 04 2003

Also number of Motzkin n-paths: paths from (0,0) to (n,0) in an n X n grid using only steps U = (1,1), F = (1,0) and D = (1,-1).
Number of Dyck n-paths with no UUU. (Given such a Dyck n-path, change each UUD to U, then change each remaining UD to F. This is a bijection to Motzkin n-paths. Example with n=5: U U D U D U U D D D -> U F U D D.)
Number of Dyck (n+1)-paths with no UDU. (Given such a Dyck (n+1)-path, mark each U that is followed by a D and each D that is not followed by a U. Then change each unmarked U whose matching D is marked to an F. Lastly, delete all the marked steps. This is a bijection to Motzkin n-paths. Example with n=6 and marked steps in small type: U U u d D U U u d d d D u d -> U U u d D F F u d d d D u d -> U U D F F D.) (End)
a(n) is the number of strings of length 2n+2 from the following recursively defined set: L contains the empty string and, for any strings a and b in L, we also find (ab) in L. The first few elements of L are e, (), (()), ((())), (()()), (((()))), ((()())), ((())()), (()(())) and so on. This proves that a(n) is less than or equal to C(n), the n-th Catalan number. See Orrick link (2024). - Saul Schleimer (saulsch(AT)math.rutgers.edu), Feb 23 2006 (Additional linked comment added by William P. Orrick, Jun 13 2024.)
a(n) = number of Dyck n-paths all of whose valleys have even x-coordinate (when path starts at origin). For example, T(4,2)=3 counts UDUDUUDD, UDUUDDUD, UUDDUDUD. Given such a path, split it into n subpaths of length 2 and transform UU->U, DD->D, UD->F (there will be no DUs for that would entail a valley with odd x-coordinate). This is a bijection to Motzkin n-paths. - David Callan, Jun 07 2006
Also the number of standard Young tableaux of height <= 3. - Mike Zabrocki, Mar 24 2007
a(n) is the number of RNA shapes of size 2n+2. RNA Shapes are essentially Dyck words without "directly nested" motifs of the form A[[B]]C, for A, B and C Dyck words.

The sequence is self-generated from top row A going to the left starting (1,1) and bottom row = B, the same sequence but starting (0,1) and going to the right. Take dot product of A and B and add the result to n-th term of A to get the (n+1)-th term of A. Example: a(5) = 21 as follows: Take dot product of A = (9, 4, 2, 1, 1) and (0, 1, 1, 2, 4) = (0, + 4 + 2 + 2 + 4) = 12; which is added to 9 = 21. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 27 2008

Starting with offset 1 = iterates of M * [1,1,0,0,0,...], where M = a tridiagonal matrix with [0,1,1,1,...] in the main diagonal and [1,1,1,...] in the super and subdiagonals. - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 07 2009
a(n) is the number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} having genus 0. The genus g(p) of a permutation p of {1,2,...,n} is defined by g(p)=(1/2)[n+1-z(p)-z(cp')], where p' is the inverse permutation of p, c = 234...n1 = (1,2,...,n), and z(q) is the number of cycles of the permutation q. Example: a(4)=9; indeed, p=3412=(13)(24) is the only involution of {1,2,3,4} with genus > 0. This follows easily from the fact that a permutation p of {1,2,...,n} has genus 0 if and only if the cycle decomposition of p gives a noncrossing partition of {1,2,...,n} and each cycle of p is increasing (see Lemma 2.1 of the Dulucq-Simion reference). [Also, redundantly, for p=3412=(13)(24) we have cp'=2341*3412=4123=(1432) and so g(p)=(1/2)(4+1-2-1)=1.] - Emeric Deutsch, May 29 2010

Then a(n) = Sum_{i = 0..n, j = 0..n} w(i,j,n) is the number of such walks of length n. - Peter Luschny, May 21 2011
a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 3.0 as N->infinity: (1+2*cos(2*Pi/N)) relating to longest odd N regular polygon diagonals, by way of example, N=7: Using the tridiagonal generator [cf. comment of Jan 07 2009], for polygon N=7, we extract an (N-1)/2 = 3 X 3 matrix, [0,1,0; 1,1,1; 0,1,1] with an e-val of 2.24697...; the longest Heptagon diagonal with edge = 1. As N tends to infinity, the diagonal lengths tend to 3.0, the convergent of the sequence. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 08 2011

If tau_1 and tau_2 are two distinct permutation patterns chosen from the set {132,231,312}, then a(n) is the number of valid hook configurations of permutations of [n+1] that avoid the patterns tau_1 and tau_2. - Colin Defant, Apr 28 2019
Number of permutations of length n that are sorted to the identity by a consecutive-321-avoiding stack followed by a classical-21-avoiding stack. - Colin Defant, Aug 29 2020
From Helmut Prodinger, Dec 13 2020: (Start)
a(n) is the number of paths in the first quadrant starting at (0,0) and consisting of n steps from the infinite set {(1,1), (1,-1), (1,-2), (1,-3), ...}.
For example, denoting U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), D_ j=(1,-j) for j >= 2, a(4) counts UUUU, UUUD, UUUD_2, UUUD_3, UUDU, UUDD, UUD_2U, UDUU, UDUD.
This step set is inspired by {(1,1), (1,-1), (1,-3), (1,-5), ...}, suggested by Emeric Deutsch around 2000.

Named by Donaghey (1977) after the Israeli-American mathematician Theodore Motzkin (1908-1970). In Sloane's "A Handbook of Integer Sequences" (1973) they were called "generalized ballot numbers". - Amiram Eldar, Apr 15 2021
Number of Motzkin n-paths a(n) is split into A107587(n), number of even Motzkin n-paths, and A343386(n), number of odd Motzkin n-paths. The value A107587(n) - A343386(n) can be called the "shadow" of a(n) (see A343773). - Gennady Eremin, May 17 2021
Conjecture: If p is a prime of the form 6m+1 (A002476), then a(p-2) is divisible by p. Currently, no counterexample exists for p < 10^7. Personal communication from Robert Gerbicz: mod such p this is equivalent to A066796 with comment: "Every A066796(n) from A066796((p-1)/2) to A066796(p-1) is divisible by prime p of form 6m+1". - Serge Batalov, Feb 08 2022
From Rob Burns, Nov 11 2024: (Start)
The conjecture is proved in the 2017 paper by Rob Burns in the Links below. The result is contained in Tables 4 and 5 of the paper, which show that a(p-2) == 0 (mod p) when p == 1 (mod 6) and a(p-2) == -1 (mod p) when p == -1 (mod 6).
In fact, the 2017 paper by Burns establishes more general congruences for a(p^k - 2) where k >= 1.
If p == 1 (mod 6) then a(p^k - 2) == 0 (mod p) for k >= 1.
If p == -1 (mod 6) then a(p^k - 2) == -1 (mod p) when k is odd and a(p^k - 2) == 0 (mod p) when k is even.
These are consequences of the transitions provided in Tables 4, 5 and 6 of the paper.
The 2024 paper by Nadav Kohen also proves the conjecture. Proposition 6 of the paper states that a prime p divides a(p-2) if and only if p = (1 mod 3). (End)
From Peter Bala, Feb 10 2022: (Start)
Conjectures:
(1) For prime p == 1 (mod 6) and n, r >= 1, a(n*p^r - 2) == -A005717(n-1) (mod p), where we take A005717(0) = 0 to match Batalov's conjecture above.
(2) For prime p == 5 (mod 6) and n >= 1, a(n*p - 2) == -A005773(n) (mod p).
(3) For prime p >= 3 and k >= 1, a(n + p^k) == a(n) (mod p) for 0 <= n <= (p^k - 3).
(4) For prime p >= 5 and k >= 2, a(n + p^k) == a(n) (mod p^2) for 0 <= n <= (p^(k-1) - 3). (End)
The Hankel transform of this sequence with a(0) omitted gives the period-6 sequence [1, 0, -1, -1, 0, 1, ...] which is A010892 with its first term omitted, while the Hankel transform of the current sequence is the all-ones sequence A000012, and also it is the unique sequence with this property which is similar to the unique Hankel transform property of the Catalan numbers. - Michael Somos, Apr 17 2022
The number of terms in which the exponent of any variable x_i is not greater than 2 in the expansion of Product_{j=1..n} Sum_{i=1..j} x_i. E.g.: a(4) = 9: 3*x1^2*x2^2, 4*x1^2*x2*x3, 2*x1^2*x2*x4, x1^2*x3^2, x1^2*x3*x4, 2*x1*x2^2*x3, x1*x2^2*x4, x1*x2*x3^2, x1*x2*x3*x4. - Elif Baser, Dec 20 2024
