COMMENT

Number of intersection points of diagonals of convex n-gon.

Also the number of equilateral triangles with vertices in a equilateral triangular array of points with n rows (offset 1), with any orientation. - Ignacio Larrosa Canestro (ignacio.larrosa(AT)eresmas.net), Apr 09 2002

For n>0 a(n)=(-1/8)*coefficient of x in Zagier's polynomial P_(2n,n) (Zagier's polynomials are used by pari-gp for acceleration of alternating or positive series)

Figurate numbers based on the 4-dimensional regular convex polytope called the regular 4-simplex, pentachoron, 5-cell, pentatope or 4-hypertetrahedron with Schlaefli symbol {3,3,3}. a(n)=((n*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3))/4!) - Michael J. Welch (mjw1(AT)ntlworld.com), Apr 01 2004

Maximal number of crossings that can be created by connecting n vertices with straight lines. - Cameron Redsell-Montgomerie (credsell(AT)uoguelph.ca), Jan 30 2007

If X is an n-set and Y a fixed (n-1)-subset of X then a(n) is equal to the number of 4-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Aug 15 2007

Product of four consecutive numbers divided by 24 - Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Dec 02 2007

For strings consisting entirely of 0s and 1s, the number of unique arrangements of four 1s such that 1s are not adjacent. The shortest possible string is 7 characters, of which there is only one solution: 1010101, corresponding to a(5). An eight character string has 5 solutions, nine has 15, ten has 35, and so on, congruent to A000332. - Gil Broussard (gil_broussard(AT)bellsouth.net), Mar 19 2008

Apart from the first 4 zeros, this sequence also represents the partial sums of oblong numbers. That is, a(n)=n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)/24 (n>=1). - Mohammad K. Azarian (azarian(AT)evansville.edu), Apr 03 2008
