Let G[1](q) denote the g.f. for A003114 and G[2](q) the g.f. for A003106 (the two Rogers-Ramanujan identities). For i>=3, let G[i](q) = (G[i-1](q)-G[i-2](q))/q^(i-2). Sequence gives coefficients of G[5](q).

%N Let G[1](q) denote the g.f. for A003114 and G[2](q) the g.f. for A003106 (the two Rogers-Ramanujan identities). For i>=3, let G[i](q) = (G[i-1](q)-G[i-2](q))/q^(i-2). Sequence gives coefficients of G[5](q).

%C It is conjectured that G[i](q) = 1 + O(q^i) for all i.

%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 03 2016: (Start)

%C The generalized Rogers-Ramanujan [R-R] series G[i](q) of Andrews and Baxter [A-B] have a standard combinatorial interpretation of the Schur and MacMahon type (see Hardy [H] and Hardy-Wright [H-W] for the original [R-R] case) inferred from the formula G[i](q) = Sum_{m >=0} q^(m*(m+i-1)}/Product_{j =1..m} (1 - q^j) ([A-B], eq. (5.1)). Define GI_k(q) = G[2*k+1](q) and GII_k(q) = G[2*k](q), for k = 0, 1,..., and prove the two formulas I(m,k): m*(m+2*k) = Sum_{j = 1..2*m-1} (2*k + j), and II(m,k): m*(m+2*k+1) = Sum_{j = 1..m} (2*(k + j)) for fixed positive m by induction over k = 0, 1, ... . For GI_k(q) define the special m-part partition SPI(m,k) = [2*k+2*m-1,2*k+2*m-3,...,2*k+1] of m*(m+2*k), and for GII_k(q) the special m-part partition SPII(m,k) [2*(k+1),2*(k+2),...,2*(k+1))] of m*(m+2*k+1).

%C Then GI_k(q) = 1 + Sum_{n >=1} aI(k,n)*q^n with aI(k,n) the number of partitions of n without parts 1, 2, ..., 2*k, and the parts differ by at least 2. GII_k(q) = 1 + Sum_{n >=1} aII(k,n)*q^n with aII(k,n) the number of partitions of n without parts 1, 2, ..., 2*k+1, and the parts differ by at least 2. The proof can be directly adapted from the one given in [H] or [H-W] for k=1.

%C For the partitions of n generated by GI_k(q) one needs the maximal part number MmaxI(k,n) = floor(-k + sqrt(k^2 + n)). For the GII_k(q) case MmaxII(k,n) = floor(-(2*k+1) + sqrt((2*k+1)^2 + 4*n)).

%C The present sequence is aI(2,n), in [A-B] notation generated by G[5](q), giving the number of partitions of n without parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the parts differ by at least 2.
