Comments

Also number of partitions of n where no part appears more than three times.

a(n) satisfies Euler's pentagonal number (A001318) theorem, unless n is in A062717 (see Fink et al.).

Also number of partitions of n in which the least part and the differences between consecutive parts is at most 3. Example: a(5)=6 because we have [4,1], [3,2], [3,1,1], [2,2,1], [2,1,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 19 2006

Equals A000009 convolved with its aerated variant, = polcoeff A000009 * A000041 * A010054 (with alternate signs). - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 16 2010

Equals left border of triangle A174715. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 27 2010

The Cayley reference is actually to A083365. - Michael Somos, Feb 24 2011

Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

Convolution of A000009 and A035457. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 23 2015

Convolution inverse is A082303. - Michael Somos, Sep 30 2017

The g.f. in the form Sum_{n >= 0} x^(n*(n+1)/2) * Product_{k = 1..n} (1+x^k)/(1-x^k) = Sum_{n >= 0} x^(n*(n+1)/2) * Product_{k = 1..n} (1+x^k)/(1+x^k-2*x^k) == Sum_{n >= 0} x^(n*(n+1)/2) (mod 2). It follows that a(n) is odd iff n = k*(k + 1)/2 for some nonnegative integer k. Cf. A333374. - Peter Bala, Jan 08 2025

Examples

			G.f. = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 6*x^5 + 9*x^6 + 12*x^7 + 16*x^8 + 22*x^9 + ...
G.f. = q + q^9 + 2*q^17 + 3*q^25 + 4*q^33 + 6*q^41 + 9*q^49 + 12*q^57 + 16*q^65 + 22*q^73 + ...
a(5)=6 because we have [5], [4,1], [3,2], [3,1,1], [2,1,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1].
