Also number of partitions of 2*n with exactly 2 odd parts (offset 1). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jan 12 2005

Also number of transitions from one partition of n+2 to another, where a transition consists of replacing any two parts with their sum. Remove all 1' and 2' from the partition, replacing them with ((number of 2') + 1) and ((number of 1') + (number of 2') + 1); these are the two parts being summed. Number of partitions of n into parts of 2 kinds with at most 2 parts of the second kind, or of n+2 into parts of 2 kinds with exactly 2 parts of the second kind. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Mar 20 2006

From Christian Gutschwager (gutschwager(AT)math.uni-hannover.de), Feb 10 2010: (Start)

a(n) is also the number of pairs of partitions of n+2 which differ by only one box (for bijection see the first Gutschwager link).

a(n) is also the number of partitions of n with two parts marked.

a(n) is also the number of partitions of n+1 with two different parts marked. (End)

Convolution of A000041 and A008619. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 18 2015

a(n) = P(/2,n), a particular case of P(/k,n) defined as follows: P(/0,n) = A000041(n) and P(/k,n) = P(/k-1, n) + P(/k-1,n-k) + P(/k-1, n-2k) + ... Also, P(/k,n) = the convolution of A000041 and the partitions of n with exactly k parts, and g.f. P(/k,n) = (g.f. for P(n)) * 1/(1-x)...(1-x^k). - Gregory L. Simay, Mar 22 2018

a(n) is also the sum of binomial(D(p),2) in partitions p of (n+3), where D(p)= number of different sizes of parts in p. - Emily Anible, Apr 03 2018

Also partitions of 2*(n+1) with alternating sum 2. Also partitions of 2*(n+1) with reverse-alternating sum -2 or 2. - Gus Wiseman, Jun 21 2021

Define the distance graph of the partitions of n using the distance function in A366156 as follows: two vertices (partitions) share an edge if and only if the distance between the vertices is 2. Then a(n) is the number of edges in the distance graph of the partitions of n. - Clark Kimberling, Oct 12 2023

			a(3) = 9 because we have 3, 2+1, 2+1', 2'+1, 2'+1', 1+1+1, 1+1+1', 1+1'+1' and 1'+1'+1'.
