FindStat, St000145: The Dyson rank of a partition

Formula

a(n) = (A000041(n) - A000025(n))/4. - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 14 2004

G.f.: Sum((-1)^(k+1)*x^((3*k^2+k)/2)/(1+x^k), k=1..infinity)/Product(1-x^k, k=1..infinity). - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 20 2004

a(n) = A340692(n)/2. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 07 2021

Example

a(7)=2 because the only partitions of 7 with positive odd rank are 421 (rank=1) and 52 (rank=3).
From Gus Wiseman, Feb 07 2021: (Start)
Also the number of integer partitions of n into an even number of parts, the greatest of which is odd. For example, the a(2) = 1 through a(10) = 13 partitions (empty column indicated by dot) are:
  11   .  31     32   33       52     53         54       55

Also the number of integer partitions of n into an odd number of parts, the greatest of which is even. For example, the a(2) = 1 through a(10) = 13 partitions (empty column indicated by dot, A = 10) are:
  2   .  4     221   6       421     8         432       A
