COMMENTS

It is not clear whether a(0) should be 1 or 0; this depends on whether the empty partition is a hook partition. By strict interpretation of the definition above, it is not; and except for n=0, there are exactly n hook partitions for each n. On the other hand, if defined as "a partition in whose Ferrers diagram every point is on the first row or column", the empty partition is a hook partition. [From Franklin T. Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Jul 11 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = 3*2^n-n-3, n>0. G.f.: x*(2-x)/(1-2*x)/(1-x)^2. Recurrence: a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-5*a(n-2)+2*a(n-3). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Dec 05 2002

Row sums of triangle A132048. Equals binomial transform of [1, 1, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4,...]. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 08 2007

EXAMPLE

The hook partitions of 4 are 4, 3+1, 2+1+1, 1+1+1+1, the corresponding products when parts are increased by 1 are 5,8,12,16 and their sum is a(4) = 41.
