%N Number of partitions of n*(n-2) with n parts and at least one part > n.

%C This entry is motivated by A262244 by _Stuart E Anderson_, where the angle numbers m_j, j=1..n, for concave n-gons play the role of the parts.

%C The sum of the n-gon angles m_j*Pi/n, j = 1..n, is (n-2)*Pi, hence Sum_{j=1..n} m_j = n*(n-2).

%C For the proof of the a(n) formula sum for the part n*(n-3)+1-j the number of partitions of n-1+j with n-1 parts, for j = 0, 1, ..., n*(n-4). See an example below.

%F a(n) = Sum_{j=0..n*(n-4)} T(n-1+j, n-1), with T(n, k) = A008284(n, k) (number of partitions of n with k parts), n >= 4.

%e a(4) = 1 from the partition (5,1,1,1) of 4*2 = 8 with 4 parts, at least one part > 4.

%e a(5) = 18 from the following partitions of 15: (11,1,1,1,1), (10,2,1,1,1), (9,3,1,1,1), (9,2,2,1,1), (8,4,1,1,1), (8,3,2,1,1),(8,2,2,1,1), (7,5,1,1,1), (7,4,2,1,1), (7,3,3,1,1), (7,3,2,2,1), (7,2,2,2,2), (6,6,1,1,1), (6,5,2,1,1), (6,4,3,1,1), (6,4,2,2,1), (6,3,3,2,1), (6,3,2,2,2).

%e 18 = 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6.

%e For n=7 sum the following number of partitions: for 29 the number of 6-part partitions for 6, for 28 the 6-part partitions of 7, ..., up to the 6-part partitions of 27 for 8.

%Y Cf. A008284, A262244.
