COMMENT

n+1 first appears in the sequence at the A002522(n)-th entry (since the ultimate occurrence of n is n^2). a(n) refers to the greatest minimal length of monotone subsequence (i.e.either increasing or decreasing) contained within any sequence of n distinct numbers,according to the Erdos-Szekeres theorem - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), May 20 2003

a(n) = SUM(A010052(k): 0 <= k < n). [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Mar 01 2009]

With offset 0, apparently the least k such that binomial(2n,n-k) < (1/e) binomial(2n,n). [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Mar 12 2009]
