COMMENTS
a(n-4) = number of n-th generation vertices in the tree of sequences with unit increase labeled by 5 (cf. Zoran Sunic reference). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 07 2003
Number of standard tableaux of shape (n+3,n-2). - Emeric Deutsch, May 30 2004
a(n) = A214292(2*n,n-3) for n > 2. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 12 2012
a(n) is the number of North-East paths from (0,0) to (n,n) that cross the diagonal y = x horizontally exactly once. By symmetry, it is also the number of North-East paths from (0,0) to (n,n) that cross the diagonal y = x vertically exactly once. Details can be found in Section 3.3 in Pan and Remmel's link. - Ran Pan, Feb 02 2016
a(n) is the number of permutations pi of [n+3] such that s(pi)=321456...(n+3), where s denotes West's stack-sorting map. - Colin Defant, Jan 14 2019
a(n) is also the number of permutations of [n+1] avoiding the pattern 321. For permutations avoiding any of the other permutations of [3] (that is, any of 132, 213, 231, or 312) see A002054. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 26 2022

FORMULA
a(n) = 6*binomial(2*n+1, n-2)/(n+4).
G.f.: x^2*C(x)^6, where C(x) is g.f. for the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch, May 30 2004
E.g.f.: exp(2*x)*(Bessel_I(2,2*x) - Bessel_I(4,2*x)). - Paul Barry, Jun 04 2007
Let A be the Toeplitz matrix of order n defined by: A[i,i-1]=-1, A[i,j]=Catalan(j-i), (i<=j), and A[i,j]=0, otherwise. Then, for n >= 5, a(n-3) = (-1)^(n-5)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^5). - Milan Janjic, Jul 08 2010
a(n) = Sum_{i>=1, j>=1, k>=1, i+j+k=n+1} Catalan(i)*Catalan(j)*Catalan(k). T. D. Noe, Dec 22 2010
D-finite with recurrence -(n+4)*(n-2)*a(n) + 2*n*(2*n+1)*a(n-1) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 04 2012
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 02 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = 7/2 - 34*Pi/(27*sqrt(3)).
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = 828*log(phi)/(25*sqrt(5)) - 2819/450, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). (End)
a(n) ~ 3*4^(n+1)/(n^(3/2)*sqrt(Pi)). - Stefano Spezia, Apr 17 2024
EXAMPLE
a(3)=6 because the only permutations of 1234 with exactly 1 increasing subsequence of length 3 are 1423, 4123, 1342, 2314, 2341, 3124.
