%N Number of partitions of n where the frequencies alternate in parity.

%C Let the frequency of the largest summand be f1, the frequency of the next smaller summand be f2, etc. Then the sequence f1, f2, f3, ... alternates in parity.

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A242984/b242984.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000</a>

%e For example the partition 3,2,2,1 is counted since the frequency of 3 is 1; the frequency of 2 is 2; and the frequency of 1 is 1. So the sequence of frequencies is 1,2,1. Since the terms of this sequence are odd, even, odd this partition is counted.

%p b:= proc(n, i, t) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, `if`(i<1, 0,

%p b(n, i-1, t) +add(`if`(irem(j+t, 2)=0, 0,

%p b(n-i*j, i-1, 1-t)), j=1..n/i)))

%p end:

%p a:= n-> `if`(n=0, 1, add(b(n$2, j), j=0..1)):

%p seq(a(n), n=0..80); # _Alois P. Heinz_, Aug 17 2014
