First differences of 0 1 1 2 2 4 4 7 8 12 14 21 24 34 41 55... (A002865).

For n>2, a(n-2) is the number of partitions of n with all parts > 1 and with the largest part occurring more than once. The list of partitions counted begins 22 (so a(2) = 1); 33, 222 (so a(4) = 2); 44, 332, 2222 (so a(6) = 3); 333; 55, 442, 3322, 22222; 443, 3332; 66, 552, 444, 4422, 3333, 33222, 222222; 553, 4432, 33322; ...

a(n) is the number of certain level-n quasi-primary states of a quotient space of certain Verma modules. See the Furlan et al. reference p. 67. - Wolfdieter Lang (wolfdieter.lang(AT)physik.uni-karlsruhe.de), Apr 25 2003
