COMMENTS

Also number of compositions of n such that the first part is divisible by the number of parts . [From Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Dec 02 2009]

REFERENCES

Arnold Knopfmacher and Neville Robbins, Compositions with parts constrained by the leading summand, Ars Combin. 76 (2005), 287-295.

FORMULA

G.f.: sum (1-z)z^k/(1-z-z^(k+1)); k=1..inf

Also sum z^(2*k-1)/((1-z^k)*(1-z)^(k-1)); k=1..inf, cf. A105039. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Apr 05 2005

EXAMPLE

For example for n=8 we count 2+3+3 but not 2+4+2 and not 2+1+5

CROSSREFS

Cf. A168655, A168656, A168657. [From Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Dec 02 2009]
