%N a(n)=6*2^n+4 (Bode Number A003461(n+2)) except for a(1)=6.
%C Sequence similar to Bode Numbers relevant to A079946 and numeric partitions.
%C A053445 describes certain partitions which start triangular arrays of all other numeric partitions; e.g. - 22, 33, 222, 44, 332, 2222, ... A079946 provides the indices for these partitions. (cf. A090324 and A090774).
%C By expanding the terms of a(n) in a similar manner, the vertex partitions can be readily indexed by noting that the indices increase by eight as follows: 6 28 (one case), 52 60 (two cases), 100 108 116 124 (four cases), 196 204 212 220 228 236 244 252 (eight cases), 388 ...
