COMMENTS
The number of multinomial coefficients such that multinomial(t_1+t_2+..._+t_n,t_1,t_2,...,t_n)=4 and t_1+2*t_2+...+n*t_n=n, where t_1, t_2, ... , t_n are nonnegative integers.
FORMULA
a(n) = floor((1/3)*(n-1)) + floor((1/4)*(n-1)) - floor((1/4)*n).
a(n) = a(n-3)+a(n-4)-a(n-7). G.f.: x^5*(2*x^2+x+1) / ((x-1)^2*(x+1)*(x^2+1)*(x^2+x+1)). - Colin Barker, Mar 06 2014
EXAMPLE
The number 10 has three partitions such that a(10)=4: 1+1+1+7, 1+3+3+3 and 2+2+2+4.
MAPLE
