FORMULA

From Washington Bomfim, Jul 19 2012 and Dec 22 2020: (Start)

a(n) = Sum_{P}( g(Q) ), where P is the set of the partitions Q of n with 4 parts, Q with distinct parts D[1]..D[d], D[1] the part of maximum multiplicity m in Q, f(n) = A000081(n), and g(Q) given by,

| 3 * f(D[1]) * f(D[2]) * f(D[3]) * f(D[4]), if d = 4,

| (f(D[1])^4 + 2*f(D[1])^3 + 3*f(D[1])^2 + 2 * f(D[1])/8, if d = 1,

g(Q) = | f(D[1]) * f(D[2]) * f(D[3]) * (3 * f(D[1]) + 1)/2, if d = 3,

| ((3*f(D[2])^2+f(D[2]])*f(D[1])^2+(f(D[2])^2+3*f(D[2]])*f(D[1]])/4,

| if d=2, and m=2,

| f(D[1])^2 * f(D[2]) * (f(D[1]) + 1)/2, if d=2, and m=3.

G.f.: (2*t(x^4) + 3*t(x^2)^2 + 2*t(x)^2*t(x^2) + t(x)^4)/8 where t(x) is the g.f. of A000081. - Andrew Howroyd, Dec 03 2020
