Number of nonisomorphic unrooted unicursal planar maps with n+2 edges and exactly one vertex of valency 1 (unicursal means that exactly two vertices are of odd valency). - Valery A. Liskovets, Apr 07 2002
Total number of vertices in rooted Eulerian planar maps with n+1 edges.
Half the number of ways to dog-ear every page of an (n+1)-page book. - R. H. Hardin, Jun 21 2002

Number of Motzkin lattice paths with weights: 1 for up step, 4 for level step and 4 for down step. - Wenjin Woan, Oct 24 2004
The number of rooted bipartite n-edge maps in the plane (planar with a distinguished outside face). - Valery A. Liskovets, Mar 17 2005
Also the number of paths of length 2n+1 in a binary tree between two vertices that are one step away from each other. - David Koslicki (koslicki(AT)math.psu.edu), Nov 02 2010
2*a(n) for n > 1 is the number of increasing strict binary trees with 2n-1 nodes that simultaneously avoid 213 and 231 in the classical sense. For more information about increasing strict binary trees with an associated permutation, see A245894. - Manda Riehl, Aug 22 2014

FORMULA
a(n) = A052701(n+2)/2.
2*a(n) matches the odd-indexed terms of A090375.
a(n) = 2^n * binomial(2n+3, n+1) / (2n+3). - Len Smiley, Feb 24 2006
G.f.: (1-4x-sqrt(1-8x))/(8x^2) = C(2x)^2, where C(x) is the g.f. for Catalan numbers, A000108.

Let M = the following production matrix:
2, 2, 0, 0, 0, ...
2, 2, 2, 0, 0, ...
2, 2, 2, 2, 0, ...
2, 2, 2, 2, 2, ...
...
a(n) = sum of top row terms in M^n. Example: top row of M^3 = (40, 40, 24, 8, 0, 0, 0, ...), sum = 112 = a(3). (End)
D-finite with recurrence (n+2)*a(n) - 4*(2n+1)*a(n-1) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 01 2012
E.g.f.: a(n) = n!* [x^n] exp(4*x)*BesselI(1, 4*x)/(2*x). - Peter Luschny, Aug 25 2012
Expansion of square of continued fraction 1/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 2*x/(1 - ...)))). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 19 2017
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 06 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 38/49 + 192*arcsin(sqrt(1/8))/(49*sqrt(7)).
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 14/27 + 32*log(2)/81. (End)
a(n) = Product_{1 <= i <= j <= n} (i + j + 2)/(i + j - 1). Cf. A001700. - Peter Bala, Feb 22 2023
