Sequences that sums up to second differences of Bell and Catalan numbers
Let $f(n)$ be A007814, the exponent of the highest power of $2$ dividing $n$, a.k.a. the binary carry sequence, the ruler sequence, or the $2$-adic valuation of $n$.
Let $g(n)$ be A025480, $g(2n) = n$...

Oddity of generalized Catalan numbers: Part I
The famous (classical) Catalan numbers $C_{1,n}=\frac1{n+1}\binom{2n}n$ satisfy the following well-known arithmetic property:
$$\text{$C_{1,n}$ is odd iff $n=2^j-1$ for some $j$}.\tag1$$
Consider the "...

generating $q$-Catalan numbers
An $n$-Dyck path (or a Catalan path) is a lattice path $P$, unit East and North steps, in an $n\times n$ square grid which stays (weakly) above the main diagonal. Let $\square_n$ denote all such paths....

"Oddity" of $q$-Catalan polynomials: Part II
This question extends my earlier MO post for which I'm grateful for answers and useful comments.
The Catalan numbers $C_n=\frac1{n+1}\binom{2n}n$ satisfy:
$\text{$C_{1,n}$ is odd iff $n=2^j-1$ for ...
