%N Numbers k such that the coefficient of x^k in the expansion of Product_{m >= 1} (1-x^m)^15 is zero.

%C Van der Blij, discussing the conjecture that the Ramanujan numbers tau(k) (see A000594) are never zero, mentions that a certain "Ferguson" had shown that 52 is a member of the current sequence. No details were given, and the 52 appears to be a typo for 53.

%C The coefficients of the expansion of Product_{m >= 1} (1-x^m)^15 are given in A010822.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Dec 07 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(53 + 323*x + 53*x^2) / (1 - x)^3.

%F a(n) = (429*n^2 - 429*n + 106) / 2.

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>3.

%F (End)

%F E.g.f.: (1/2)*exp(x)*(106 + 858*x + 429*x^2). - conjectured by _Stefano Spezia_, Dec 07 2018 after the conjectures of _Colin Barker_
