Leibniz's series: Pi/4 = Sum_{n=0..inf} (-1)^n/(2n+1) (cf. A072172).

Beginning of the ordering of the natural numbers used in Sharkovski's theorem - see the Cielsielski-Pogoda paper.

The Sharkovski ordering begins with the odd numbers >= 3, then twice these numbers, then 4 times them, then 8 times them, etc., ending with the powers of 2 in decreasing order, ending with 2^0 = 1.

Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cusp forms for Gamma_0( 6 ).

The odd numbers are the solution to the simplest recursion arising when assuming that the algorithm "merge sort" could merge in constant unit time, i.e. T(1):=1, T(n):=T(floor(n/2)) + T(ceiling(n/2)) + 1. - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Oct 14 2006

2n-5 counts the permutations in S_n which have zero occurrences of the pattern 312 and one occurrence of the pattern 123. - David Hoek (david.hok(AT)telia.com), Feb 28 2007

For n>0: number of divisors of (n-1)th power of any squarefree semiprime: a(n)=A000005(A001248(k)^(n-1)); a(n) = A000005(A000302(n-1)) = A000005(A001019(n-1)) = A000005(A009969(n-1)) = A000005(A087752(n-1)). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Mar 04 2007
