FORMULA
a(n) ~ Pi * exp(Pi*sqrt(2*n/3)) / (3 * 2^(9/2) * n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 26 2023
EXAMPLE
a(6)=1 because the 11 partitions 6,51,42,411,33,321,3111,222,2211,21111,111111 have ranks 5,3,2,1,1,0,-1,-1,-2,-3,-5, respectively.
MAPLE
with(combinat): for n from 1 to 45 do P:=partition(n): c:=0: for j from 1 to nops(P) do if P[j][nops(P[j])]-nops(P[j])=2 then c:=c+1 else c:=c fi od: a[n]:=c: od: seq(a[n], n=1..45);
