%N Number of ways to write n as the sum of an octagonal number (A000567), a second octagonal number (A045944), and a strict partition number (A000009).

%C Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.

%C (ii) lim_n a(n)/(log n)^2 = 1/Pi^2.

%C On 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.

%C See also A280455 for a similar conjecture of the author involving the partition function.

%e a(1) = 1 since 1 = 0*(3*0-2) + 0*(3*0+2) + A000009(2).

%e a(50) = 2 since 50 = 4*(3*4-2) + 1*(3*1+2) + A000009(7) = 4*(3*4-2) + 0*(3*0+2) + A000009(10).

%e a(1399) = 1 since 1399 = 1*(3*1-2) + 18*(3*18+2) + A000009(32).
