Numbers of the form (k^2+1)/2 for k odd.
(y(2x+1))^2 + (y(2x^2+2x))^2 = (y(2x^2+2x+1))^2. E.g., let y = 2, x = 1; (2(2+1))^2 + (2(2+2))^2 = (2(2+2+1))^2, (2(3))^2 + (2(4))^2 = (2(5))^2, 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2, 36 + 64 = 100. - Glenn B. Cox (igloos_r_us(AT)canada.com), Apr 08 2002

k such that the Diophantine equation x^3 - y^3 = x*y + k has a solution with y = x-1. If that solution is (x,y) = (m+1,m) then m^2 + (m+1)^2 = k. Note that this Diophantine equation is an elliptic curve and (m+1,m) is an integer point on it. - James R. Buddenhagen, Aug 12 2008

For k>0, x^4 + x^2 + k factors over the integers iff sqrt(k) is in this sequence. - James R. Buddenhagen, Aug 15 2010
Create the simple continued fraction from Pythagorean triples to get [2n + 1; 2n^2 + 2n, 2n^2 + 2n + 1]; its value equals the rational number 2n + 1 + a(n) / (4n^4 + 8n^3 + 6n^2 + 2n + 1). - J. M. Bergot, Sep 30 2011
a(n), n >= 1, has in its prime number factorization only primes of the form 4*k+1, i.e., congruent to 1 (mod 4) (see A002144). This follows from the fact that a(n) is a primitive sum of two squares and odd. See Theorem 3.20, p. 164, in the given Niven-Zuckerman-Montgomery reference. E.g., a(3) = 25 = 5^2, a(6) = 85 = 5*17. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 08 2012

(a(n)-1)/a(n) = 2*x / (1+x^2) where x = n/(n+1). Note that in this form, this is the velocity-addition formula according to the special theory of relativity (two objects traveling at 1/(n+1) slower than c relative to each other appear to travel at 1/a(n) less than c to a stationary observer). - Christian N. K. Anderson, May 20 2013 [Corrected by Rémi Guillaume, May 22 2025]
A geometric curiosity: the envelope of the circles x^2 + (y-a(n)/2)^2 = ((2n+1)/2)^2 is the parabola y = x^2, the n=0 circle being the osculating circle at the parabola vertex. - Jean-François Alcover, Dec 02 2013
Draw n ellipses in the plane (n>0), any 2 meeting in 4 points; a(n-1) gives the number of internal regions into which the plane is divided (cf. A051890, A046092); a(n-1) = A051890(n) - 1 = A046092(n-1) + 1. - Jaroslav Krizek, Dec 27 2013
a(n) is also, of course, the scalar product of the 2-vector (n, n+1) (or (n+1, n)) with itself. The unique inverse of (n, n+1) as vector in the Clifford algebra over the Euclidean 2-space is (1/a(n))(0, n, n+1, 0) (similarly for the other vector). In general the unique inverse of such a nonzero vector v (odd element in Cl_2) is v^(-1) = (1/|v|^2) v. Note that the inverse with respect to the scalar product is not unique for any nonzero vector. See the P. Lounesto reference, sects. 1.7 - 1.12, pp. 7-14. See also the Oct 15 2014 comment in A147973. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 06 2014

An off-diagonal of the array of Delannoy numbers, A008288, (or a row/column when the array is shown as a square). As such, this is one of the crystal ball sequences. - Jack W Grahl, Feb 15 2021 and Shel Kaphan, Jan 18 2023
a(n) appears as a solution to a "Riddler Express" puzzle on the FiveThirtyEight website. The Jan 21 2022 issue (problem) and the Jan 28 2022 issue (solution) present the following puzzle and include a proof. - Fold a square piece of paper in half, obtaining a rectangle. Fold again to obtain a square with 1/4 the size of the original square. Then make n cuts through the folded paper. a(n) is the greatest number of pieces of the unfolded paper after the cutting. - Manfred Boergens, Feb 22 2022
a(n) is (1/6) times the number of 2 X 2 triangles in the n-th order hexagram with 12*n^2 cells. - Donghwi Park, Feb 06 2024

Number of parts in all compositions (ordered partitions) of n + 1. For example, a(2) = 8 because in 3 = 2 + 1 = 1 + 2 = 1 + 1 + 1 we have 8 parts. Also number of compositions (ordered partitions) of 2n + 1 with exactly 1 odd part. For example, a(2) = 8 because the only compositions of 5 with exactly 1 odd part are 5 = 1 + 4 = 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 4 + 1 = 1 + 2 + 2 = 2 + 1 + 2 = 2 + 2 + 1. - Emeric Deutsch, May 10 2001

Recursive formulas for a(n) are in many cases derivable from its property wherein delta^k(a(n)) - a(n) = k*2^n where delta^k(a(n)) represents the k-th forward difference of a(n). Provable with a difference table and a little induction. - Ethan Beihl, May 02 2011

a(n) is the number of length-2n binary sequences that contain a subsequence of ones with length n or more. To derive this result, note that there are 2^n sequences where the initial one of the subsequence occurs at entry one. If the initial one of the subsequence occurs at entry 2, 3, ..., or n + 1, there are 2^(n-1) sequences since a zero must precede the initial one. Hence a(n) = 2^n + n*2^(n-1)=(n+2)2^(n-1). An example is given in the example section below. - Dennis P. Walsh, Oct 25 2012
As the total number of parts in all compositions of n+1 (see the first line in Comments) the equivalent sequence for partitions is A006128.

The shifted array belongs to an interpolated family of arrays associated to the Catalan A000108 (t=1), and Riordan, or Motzkin sums A005043 (t=0), with the interpolating o.g.f. (1-sqrt(1-4x/(1+(1-t)x)))/2 and inverse x(1-x)/(1+(t-1)x(1-x)). See A091867 for more info on this family. Here the interpolation is t=-3 (mod signs in the results).
Let C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1-4x))/2, an o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108, with inverse Cinv(x) = x*(1-x) and P(x,t) = x/(1+t*x) with inverse P(x,-t).
Shifted o.g.f: G(x) = x*(1-x)/(1 - 4x*(1-x)) = P[Cinv(x),-4].
Inverse o.g.f: Ginv(x) = [1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x/(1+4x))]/2 = C[P(x, 4)] (signed shifted A001700). Cf. A030528. (End)
For n > 0, element a(n) of the sequence is equal to the gradients of the (n-1)-th row of Pascal triangle multiplied with the square of the integers from n+1,...,1. I.e., row 3 of Pascal's triangle 1,3,3,1 has gradients 1,2,0,-2,-1, so a(4) = 1*(5^2) + 2*(4^2) + 0*(3^2) - 2*(2^2) - 1*(1^2) = 48. - Jens Martin Carlsson, May 18 2017

Formula

a(n, 1) = 1/n; a(n, k) = a(n-1, k-1) - a(n, k-1) for k > 1.
Considering the integer values (rather than unit fractions): a(n, k) = k*C(n, k) = n*C(n-1, k-1) = a(n, k-1)*a(n-1, k-1)/(a(n, k-1) - a(n-1, k-1)) = a(n-1, k) + a(n-1, k-1)*k/(k-1) = (a(n-1, k) + a(n-1, k-1))*n/(n-1) = k*A007318(n, k) = n*A007318(n-1, k-1). Row sums of integers are n*2^(n-1) = A001787(n); row sums of the unit fractions are A003149(n-1)/A000142(n). - Henry Bottomley, Jul 22 2002

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

Table T(n,k) = n+2*k-2 n, k > 0, read by antidiagonals.
General case A209304. Let m be natural number. The first column of the table T(n,1) is the sequence of the natural numbers A000027. Every next column is formed from previous shifted by m elements.
For m=0 the result is A002260,
for m=1 the result is A002024,
for m=2 the result is A128076,
for m=3 the result is A131914,
for m=4 the result is A209304. (End)

Examples

			First few rows of the triangle are:
1;
3, 2;
5, 4, 3;
7, 6, 5, 4;
9, 8, 7, 6, 5;
...

Formula

Matrix product A128064 * A004736 as infinite lower triangular matrices.
From Boris Putievskiy, Jan 24 2013: (Start)
For the general case:
a(n) = m*A003056 -(m-1)*A002260.
a(n) = m*(t+1) + (m-1)*(t*(t+1)/2-n), where t=floor((-1+sqrt(8*n-7))/2).
For m = 2:
a(n) = 2*A003056 -A002260.
a(n) = 2*(t+1)+(t*(t+1)/2-n), where t=floor((-1+sqrt(8*n-7))/2). (End)
a(n) = (r^2 + 3*r - 2*n)/2, where r = round(sqrt(2*n)). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 19 2021
