COMMENTS
Let c(n) be the number of partitions of n having 1 more odd part than even, so that there is an ordering of parts for which the even and odd parts alternate and the first and last terms are odd. Then c(n) = a(n+1) for n >= 0.
EXAMPLE
The three partitions counted by a(10) are [10], [4,1,2,1,2], and [2,3,2,1,2].
