COMMENTS

Fine's theorem: A026838(n) - a(n) = 1 if n = k(3k+1)/2, = -1 if n = k(3k-1)/2, = 0 otherwise.

Also number of partitions of n into an odd number of parts and such that parts of every size from 1 to the largest occur. Example: a(9)=4 because we have [3,2,2,1,1],[2,2,2,2,1],[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 04 2006

FORMULA

G.f.=sum(x^(2k-1)*product(1+x^j, j=1..2k-2), k=1..infinity). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 04 2006

a(2*n)=A118302(2*n), a(2*n-1)=A118301(2*n-1); a(n)=A000009(n)-A026838(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Apr 22 2006

EXAMPLE

a(9)=4 because we have [9],[7,2],[5,4] and [5,3,1].

MAPLE

g:=sum(x^(2*k-1)*product(1+x^j, j=1..2*k-2), k=1..40): gser:=series(g, x=0, 60): seq(coeff(g, x, n), n=1..54); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 04 2006
