%N A002127 MacMahon's generalized sum of divisors function.
%C A002127 Number of partitions of n with two designated summands. For example: a(5) = 9 because there are 9 partitions of 5 with two designated summands: [4'+ 1'], [3'+ 2'], [3'+ 1'+ 1], [3'+ 1 + 1'], [2'+ 2 + 1'], [2 + 2'+ 1'], [2'+ 1'+ 1 + 1], [2'+ 1 + 1'+ 1], [2'+ 1 + 1 + 1']. - _Omar E.
