%C Let P be a polygon with vertices (0,0), (0,2), (1,1) and (0,3/2). The number of integer points in nP is counted by this quasi-polynomial (nP is the n-fold dilation of P). See Wikipedia in Links section.
%C From _Bob Selcoe_, Sep 10 2016: (Start)
%C a(n) = the number of partitions in reverse lexicographic order starting with n 3's followed by n 2's; i.e., the number of partitions summing to 5n such that no part > 3 and the number of 3's digits <= the number of 2's digits.
%C First differences are A047346(n+1); second differences are 4 when n is even and 3 when n is odd (i.e., A010702(n+1); third differences are 1 when n is even and -1 when n is odd. (End)
