A280455 Number of ways to write n as x*(3x-1)/2 + y*(3y+1)/2 + p(z), where x,y,z are nonnegative integers with z > 0, and p(.) is the partition function given by A000041. 4

COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.
(ii) lim_n a(n)/(log n)^2 = 1/Pi^2.
This is similar to the author's conjecture in A280386. At the author's request, Prof. Qing-Hu Hou at Tianjin Univ. has verified part (i) of the above conjecture for n up to 10^9.
We also have some other similar conjectures. For example, we conjecture that any positive integer can be expressed as the sum of two triangular numbers and a partition number.
As the main term of log p(n) is Pi*sqrt(2n/3), the partition function p(n) eventually grows faster than any polynomial.
See also A280472 for a similar conjecture.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 since 1 = 0*(3*0-1)/2 + 0*(3*0+1)/2 + p(1).
a(2) = 2 since 2 = 1*(3*1-1)/2 + 0*(3*0+1)/2 + p(1) = 0*(3*0-1)/2 + 0*(3*0+1)/2 + p(2).
a(2771) = 1 since 2771 = 35*(3*35-1)/2 + 25*(3*25+1)/2 + p(1).
a(9426) = 1 since 9426 = 4*(3*4-1)/2 + 79*(3*79+1)/2 + p(3).
