Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N a(n) is the sum over all proper integer partitions with distinct parts of n of the previous terms.

%C By "proper integer partition", one means that the case {n} is excluded for having only one part, equal to the number partitioned.

%C The growth of this function is exponential a(n) -> c * exp(n).

%F a(n) = sum( sum( a(i), i in p) , p in P*(n)) where Q*(n) is the set of all integer partitions of n with distinct parts excluding {n}, p is a partition of Q*(n), i is a part of p.

%e a(6) = (a(5)+a(1)) + (a(4)+a(2)) + (a(3)+a(2)+a(1)) = (4+1) + (2+0) + (1+0+1) = 9.
