COMMENTS

Expansion of Rogers-Ramanujan function G(x) in powers of x.

Same as number of partitions into distinct parts where the difference between successive parts is >= 2.

As a formal power series, the limit of polynomials S(n,x): S(n,x)=sum(T(i,x),0<=i<=n); T(i,x)=S(i-2,x).x^i; T(0,x)=1,T(1,x)=x; S(n,1)=A000045(n+1), the Fibonacci sequence - Claude Lenormand (claude.lenormand(AT)free.fr), Feb 04 2001

The Rogers-Ramanujan identity is 1 + Sum_{n >= 1} t^(n^2)/((1-t)*(1-t^2)*...*(1-t^n)) = Product_{n >= 1} 1/((1-t^(5*n-1))*(1-t^(5*n-4))).

Coefficients in expansion of permanent of infinite tridiagonal matrix:

1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...

x 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 ...

0 x^2 1 1 0 0 0 ...

0 0 x^3 1 1 0 0 ...

0 0 0 x^4 1 1 0 ...

................... - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 17 2004

Also number of partitions of n such that the smallest part is greater than or equal to number of parts. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 17 2004

Also number of partitions of n such that if k is the largest part, then each of {1, 2, ..., k-1} occur at least twice. Example: a(9)=5 because we have [3, 2, 2, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], [2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1] and [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Feb 27 2006

Also number of partitions of n such that if k is the largest part, then k occurs at least k times. Example: a(9)=5 because we have [3, 3, 3], [2, 2, 2, 2, 1], [2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1] and [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 16 2006
