Comments

Number of ways to write n as an ordered sum of 6 hexagonal numbers (A000384).

a(n) > 0 for all n >= 0.

Every number is the sum of at most 6 hexagonal numbers.

Every number is the sum of at most k k-gonal numbers (Fermat's polygonal number theorem).

Formula

G.f.: (Sum_{k>=0} x^(k*(2*k-1)))^6.

Example

a(6) = 7 because we have:
[6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 6, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6]
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

Mathematica

nmax = 70; CoefficientList[Series[Sum[x^(k (2 k - 1)), {k, 0, nmax}]^6, {x, 0, nmax}], x]
