%C A000096 a(n) is the number of "prime" n-dimensional polyominoes. A "prime" n-polyomnio
cannot be formed by connecting any other n-polyominoes except for
the n-monomino and the n-monomino is not prime. E.g. for n=1, the
1-monomino is the line of length 1 and the only "prime" 1-polyominoes
are the lines of length 2 and 3. This refers to "free" n-dimensional
polyominoes, i.e. that can be rotated along any axis. - Bryan Jacobs

%C A000096 Solutions to the quadratic equation q(m, r) = (-3 +/- sqrt(9 + 8(m -
r))) / 2, where m - r is included in a(n). Let t(m) = the triangle
number (A000217) less than some number k and r = k - t(m). If k is
neither prime nor a power of two and m - r is included in A000096,
then m - q(m, r) will produce a value that shares a divisor with
k. - Andrew Plewe, Jun 18 2005

%C A000096 For n>=1, a(n) is the number of distinct shuffles of the identity permutation
on n+1 letters with the identity permutation on 2 letters (12). [From
Camillia Smith (cammie(AT)math.harvard.edu), Oct 04 2008]

%C A000096 Theorem 2, p. 3, of Yashar Memarian, states "let G be a 4-regular minimal
graph on the plane with n attaching points. Then G has at most (n/
2)C2 + n vertices if n is even, else 0. This is sharp. For each n,
there is a minimal 4-regular graph which achieves this bound." Since
xC2 = (1/2)*(x^2) - (1/2)x, the expression (n/2)C2 + n simplifies
to (1/8)*(x^2) + (3/4)*x which is n(n+3)/2 for n an even value of
x. Hence I'd say: "let G be a 4-regular minimal graph on the plane
with n attaching points. Then G has at most A000096(n) = n(n+3)/2
vertices if n is even, else 0. This is sharp." [From Jonathan Vos
