%N Number of 3's in the last section of the set of partitions of n.

%C Also number of 3's in all partitions of n that do not contain 1 as a part.

%C Also 0 together with the first differences of A024787. - _Omar E. Pol_, Nov 13 2011

%C a(n) is the number of partitions of n having fewer 1s than 2s; e.g., a(7) counts these 3 partitions: [5, 2], [3, 2, 2], [2, 2, 2, 1]. - _Clark Kimberling_, Mar 31 2014

%C The last section of the set of partitions of n is also the n-th section of the set of partitions of any integer >= n. - _Omar E. Pol_, Apr 07 2014

%F It appears that A000041(n) = a(n+1) + a(n+2) + a(n+3), n >= 0. - _Omar E. Pol_, Feb 04 2012

%F a(n) ~ A000041(n)/3 ~ exp(Pi*sqrt(2*n/3)) / (12*sqrt(3)*n). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jan 03 2019

%e a(7) = 2 counts the 3's in 7 = 4+3 = 3+2+2. The 3's in 7 = 3+3+1 = 3+2+1+1 = 3+1+1+1+1 do not count.

%e In the last section of the set of partitions of 7 the difference between the sum of the third column and the sum of the fourth column is 5 - 3 = 2 equaling the number of 3's, so a(7) = 2 (see also A024787).
