COMMENTS

Number of ways to arrange n identical objects in a rectangle, modulo rotation.

Number of unordered solutions of xy = n. - Colin Mallows (colinm(AT)research.avayalabs.com) Jan 26 2002

Number of ways to write n-1 as n-1 = x*y + x + y, 0<=x<=y<=n. - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 23 2002

Also number of values for x where x+2n and x-2n are both squares [e.g. if n=9, then 18+18 and 18-18 are both squares, as are 82+18 and 82-18 so a(9)=2]; this is because a(n) is the number of solutions to n=k(k+r) in which case if x=r^2+2n then x+2n=(r+2k)^2 and x-2n=r^2 (cf. A061408). - Henry Bottomley, May 03 2001

Also number of sums of sequences of consecutive odd numbers or consecutive even numbers including sequences of length 1 (e.g. 12 = 5+7 or 2+4+6 or 12 so a(12)=3). - Naohiro Nomoto, Feb 26 2002

Number of partitions whose consecutive parts differ by exactly two.

a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24=2^3*3 and 375=3*5^3 both have prime signature (3,1) - Christian G. Bower, Jun 06 2005.

Also number of partitions of n such that if k is the largest part, then each of the parts 1,2,...,k-1 occurs exactly twice. Example: a(12)=3 because we have [3,3,2,2,1,1],[2,2,2,2,2,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 07 2006

a(n) is also the number of nonnegative integer solutions of the Diophantine equation 4 x^2-y^2=16 n. For example a(24)=4 because there are 4 solutions :(x,y)=(10,4),(11,10),(14,20),(25,46). - Nour-Eddine Fahssi (fahssin(AT)yahoo.fr), Feb 27 2008

Contribution from Eric Desbiaux, Nov 16 2008: (Start)

Sum(n=1...inf) ((10^(-(n)))^(n))*(10^n)/(10^n-1)

=Sum(n=1...inf)((10^(-n))^((-1)^n))*(1/(10^n-1))

=Sum(n=1...inf)((10^(-n))^((-1)^n))*A73668 = A038548

(End)

a(n) is the number of even divisors of 2*n that are <=sqrt(2*n) [From Joerg Arndt, Mar 04 2010]

FORMULA

ceiling(d(n)/2), where d(n) = number of divisors of n (A000005)

a(2k) = A034178(2k)+A001227(k). a(2k+1) = A034178(2k+1). - Naohiro Nomoto, Feb 26 2002

Dirichlet g.f.: (zeta(s) + zeta(2*s))/2. - Christian G. Bower, Jun 06 2005.

a(n) = (A000005(n) + A010052(n))/2. [From Omar E. Pol, Jun 23 2009]

a(n) = A034178(4*n). - Michael Somos May 11 2011

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 2 since 4 = 2 * 2 = 4 * 1. Also A034178(4*4) = 2 since 16 = 4^2 - 0^2 = 5^2 - 3^2. - Michael Somos May 11 2011
