Also the number of partitions of n in which all odd parts are distinct. There is no restriction on the even parts. E.g., a(9)=13 because "9 = 8+1 = 7+2 = 6+3 = 6+2+1 = 5+4 = 5+3+1 = 5+2+2 = 4+4+1 = 4+3+2 = 4+2+2+1 = 3+2+2+2 = 2+2+2+2+1". - Noureddine Chair, Feb 03 2005
Number of partitions of n in which each even part occurs with even multiplicity. There is no restriction on the odd parts.
Also the number of partitions of n into parts not congruent to 2 mod 4. - James Sellers, Feb 08 2002
Coincides with the sequence of numbers of nilpotent conjugacy classes in the Lie algebras o(n) of skew-symmetric n X n matrices, n=0,1,2,3,... (the cases n=0,1 being degenerate). This sequence, A015128 and A000041 together cover the nilpotent conjugacy classes in the classical A,B,C,D series of Lie algebras. - Alexander Elashvili, Sep 08 2003
Poincaré series [or Poincare series] (or Molien series) for symmetric invariants in F_2(b_1, b_2, ... b_n) ⊗ E(e_1, e_2, ... e_n) with b_i 2-dimensional, e_i one-dimensional and the permutation action of S_n, in the case n=2.
Equals polcoeff inverse of A010054 with alternate signs. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 15 2010
It appears that this sequence is related to the generalized hexagonal numbers (A000217) in the same way as the partition numbers A000041 are related to the generalized pentagonal numbers A001318. (See the table in comments section of A195825.) Conjecture: this is 1 together with the row sums of triangle A195836, also column 1 of A195836, also column 2 of the square array A195825. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 09 2011
Since this is also column 2 of A195825 so the sequence contains only one plateau [1, 1, 1] of level 1 and length 3. For more information see A210843. - Omar E. Pol, Jun 27 2012
Convolution of A035363 and A000700. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 17 2015
Also the number of ways to stack n triangles in a valley (pointing upwards or downwards depending on row parity). - Seiichi Manyama, Jul 07 2018
