A156039 Number of partitions of n into 4 ordered summands, where the first is at least as great as each of the others. 4

COMMENTS

For n=1,2 these are just the tetrahedral numbers. a(n) is always at least 1/4 of the corresponding tetrahedral number, since each partition of this type gives up to four ordered partitions with the same cyclical order.

FORMULA

G.f.: (x^4-x^3+3*x^2-x+1) / (x^9-2*x^8+x^7-x^6+x^5+x^4-x^3+x^2-2*x+1). [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jun 14 2009]

EXAMPLE

For n = 3 the a(3) = 7 partitions are: (3 0 0 0) (2 1 0 0) (2 0 1 0) (2 0 0 1) (1 1 1 0) (1 1 0 1) (1 0 1 1)

MAPLE

a:= proc(n) local m, r; m:= iquo (n, 12, 'r'); r:= r+1; (9 +(27 +72*m +18*r)*m +((9 +3*r) *r-12) /2)*m +[1, 1, 4, 7, 11, 17, 26, 35, 48, 63, 81, 102][r] end: seq (a(n), n=0..60); [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jun 14 2009]
