%N 12 times the total number of smallest parts in all partitions of n, with a(0) = 0.

%C The product 12spt(n) appears in the formula b(n) = 12spt(n)+(24n-1)p(n) which is mentioned in several papers (see Ono's paper, see also Garvan's papers and Garvan's slides in link section). Note that b(n) is A220481(n).

%C Observation: first 13 terms coincide with the differences between all terms mentioned in a table of special mock Jacobi forms and the first 13 terms of A183011. For the table see Dabholkar-Murthy-Zagier paper, appendix A.1, table of Q_M (weight 2 case), M = 6, C_M = 12. See also the table in page 46. Question: do all terms coincide?
