%N a(n) is the sum of products of terms in all partitions of n.

%C a(0) = 1 since the only partition of 0 is the empty partition. The product of its terms is the empty product, namely 1.

%C Same parity as A000009. - _Jon Perry_, Feb 12 2004

%F The limit of a(n+3)/a(n) is 3. However, the limit of a(n+1)/a(n) does not exist. In fact, the sequence {a(n+1)/a(n)} has three limit points, which are about 1.4422447, 1.4422491 and 1.4422549. (See the Links entry.) - _Dean Hickerson_, Aug 19 2007
