Index entries for sequences related to partitions

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1, 1, -1, 0, 0, 1, -1, -1, 1).

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{j=1..floor(n/3)} Sum_{i=j..floor((n-j)/2)} ((j-1) mod 2).

From Colin Barker, Aug 23 2019: (Start)

G.f.: x^6 / ((1 - x)^3*(1 + x)^2*(1 - x + x^2)*(1 + x + x^2)).

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3) + a(n-6) - a(n-7) - a(n-8) + a(n-9) for n>8.

(End)

a(n) = A001840(floor((n-4)/2)) for n>=2. - Joerg Arndt, Aug 23 2019
