Comments

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(m-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where m is the number of parts. By conjugation, this is also (-1)^(r-1) times the number of odd parts, where r is the greatest part. So a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n of even rank with the same number of odd parts as their conjugate.
