%N a(n) = Sum_{p in P} (H(2,p)^2)/2, where P is the set of partitions of n, and H(2,p) is the number of hooks of length 2 in p.

%C This sequence is part of the contribution to the b^2 term of the Han/Nekrasov-Okounkov hooklength formula truncated at hooks of size two.

%C It is of interest to enumerate and determine specific characteristics of partitions of n, considering each partition individually.

%e For a(6), we sum over partitions of six. For each partition, we count 1 for each hook of length 2, then square the total in each partition. We divide the final result in half to get a(6).
