Formula

G.f.: 1 + sum(k>=1, q^k/(1-q^k) * prod(i=1..k-1, (1-q^(9*i))/(1-q^i) ) ).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..8} A238353(n,k). - Alois P. Heinz, Mar 09 2014

a(n) ~ exp(4*Pi*sqrt(n/27)) / (sqrt(2) * 3^(7/4) * n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 26 2022

Maple

b:= proc(n, i) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, `if`(i<1, 0,
      add(b(n-i*j, i-1), j=0..min(8, n/i))))

    end:
a:= n-> add(g(n, k), k=0..n):

Mathematica

b[n_, i_] := b[n, i] = If[n == 0, 1, If[i<1, 0, Sum[b[n - i*j, i-1], {j, 0, Min[8, n/i]}]]]; g[n_, i_] := g[n, i] = If[n == 0, 1, If[i<1, 0, Sum[b[n - i*j, i-1], {j, 1, n/i}]]]; a[n_] := Sum[g[n, k], {k, 0, n}]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 60}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 18 2015, after Alois P. Heinz *)
