COMMENTS

Number of 2 X 2 square partitions of n.

1/((1-x^2)*(1-x^4)^2*(1-x^6)) is the Molien series for 4-dimensional representation of a certain group of order 192 [Nebe, Rains, Sloane, Chap. 7].

Number of ways of writing n as n = p+q+r+s so that p >= q, p >= r, q >= s, r >= s with p, q, r, s >= 1. That is, we can partition n as

pq

rs

with p >= q, p >= r, q >= s, r >= s.

Coefficient of s(2n-8) in s(n-4,n-4) * s(n-4,n-4) * s(n-4,n-4) * s(n-4,n-4), where s(n) is the Schur function corresponding to the trivial representation, s(n,n) is a Schur function corresponding to the two row partition and * represents the inner or Kronecker product of symmetric functions. - Mike Zabrocki (zabrocki(AT)mathstat.yorku.ca), Dec 22 2005

FORMULA

Let f4(n) = number of partitions n = p+q+r+s into exactly 4 parts, with p >= q >= r >= s >= 1 (see A026810, A001400) and let g4(n) be the number with q > r (so that g4(n) = f4(n-2)). Then a(n) = f4(n) + g4(n).

(1/144) {2n^3 + 9n[(-1)^n - 1] - 16[[n is 2 mod 3]-[n is 1 mod 3]]}.

a(n)=(1/72)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)-(1/12)*(n+2)*(n+1)+(5/144)*(n+1)+(1/16)*(n+1)*(-1)^n+(1/16)*(-1)^(n+1)+(7/144)+(2*sqrt(3)/27)*sin(2*pi*n/3) [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Nov 27 2008]
