%N Binomial transform of Catalan numbers.

%C Partial sums of A002212 (the restricted hexagonal polyominoes with n cells). 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-2,0), with no peaks at even level. Example: a(3)=5 because among the six Schroeder paths from (0,0) to (4,0) only UUDD has a peak at an even level. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Dec 06 2003

%C Number of binary trees of weight n where leaves have positive integer weights. Non-commutative Non-associative version of partitions of n. - _Michael Somos_, May 23 2005

%C Appears also as the number of Euler trees with total weight n (associated with even switching class of matrices of order 2n). - _David Garber_, Sep 19 2005

%C Number of symmetric hex trees with 2n-1 edges; also number of symmetric hex trees with 2n-2 edges. A hex tree is a rooted tree where each vertex has 0, 1, or 2 children and, when only one child is present, it is either a left child, or a median child, or a right child (name due to an obvious bijection with certain tree-like polyhexes; see the Harary-Read reference). A hex tree is symmetric if it is identical with its reflection in a bisector through the root. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Dec 19 2006

%C The Hankel transform of [1, 2, 5, 15, 51, 188, ...] is [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...], see A000012 ; the Hankel transform of [2, 5, 15, 51, 188, 731, ...] is [2, 5, 13, 34, 89, ...], see A001519. - _Philippe Deléham_, Dec 19 2006

%C a(n) = number of 321-avoiding partitions of [n]. A partition is 321-avoiding if the permutation obtained from its canonical form (entries in each block listed in increasing order and blocks listed in increasing order of their first entries) is 321-avoiding. For example, the only partition of [5] that fails to be 321-avoiding is 15/24/3 because the entries 5,4,3 in the permutation 15243 form a 321 pattern. - _David Callan_, Jul 22 2008

%C The sequence 1,1,2,5,15,51,188,... has Hankel transform A001519. - _Paul Barry_, Jan 13 2009

%C From _Gary W. Adamson_, May 17 2009: (Start)

%C Equals INVERT transform of A033321: (1, 1, 2, 6, 21, 79, 311, ...).

%C Equals INVERTi transform of A002212: (1, 3, 10, 36, 137, ...).

%C Convolved with A026378, (1, 4, 17, 75, 339, ...) = A026376: (1, 6, 30, 144, ...)

%C (End)

%C a(n) is the number of vertices of the composihedron CK(n). The composihedra are a sequence of convex polytopes used to define maps of certain homotopy H-spaces. They are cellular quotients of the multiplihedra and cellular covers of the cubes. - Stefan Forcey (sforcey(AT)gmail.com), Dec 17 2009

%C a(n) is the number of Motzkin paths of length n-1 in which the (1,0)-steps at level 0 come in 2 colors and those at a higher level come in 3 colors. Example: a(4)=15 because we have 2^3 = 8 paths of shape UHD, 2 paths of shape HUD, 2 paths of shape UDH, and 3 paths of shape UHD; here U=(1,1), H=(1,0), and D=(1,-1). - _Emeric Deutsch_, May 02 2011

%C REVERT transform of (1, 2, -3, 5, -8, 13, -21, 34, ... ) where the entries are Fibonacci numbers, A000045. Equivalently, coefficients in the series reversion of x(1-x)/(1+x-x^2). This means that the substitution of the gf (1-x-(1-6x+5x^2)^(1/2))/(2(1-x)) for x in x(1-x)/(1+x-x^2) will simplify to x. - _David Callan_, Nov 11 2012

%C The number of plane trees with nodes that have positive integer weights and whose total weight is n. - _Brad R. Jones_, Jun 12 2014

%C From _Tom Copeland_, Nov 02 2014: (Start)

%C 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).

%C 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)].

%C 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).

%C BTC(x) = C[Pinv(x)] gives A007317, a binomial transform of the Catalan numbers, with BTC^(-1)(x) = P[Cinv(x)] = (x-x^2) / (1 + x - x^2).

%C 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).

%C 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].

%C (End)

%C Starting with offset 0, a(n) is also the number of Schröder paths of semilength n avoiding UH (an up step directly followed by a long horizontal step). Example: a(2)=5 because among the six possible Schröder paths of semilength 2 only UHD contains UH. - _Valerie Roitner_, Jul 23 2020
