PARI
seq(n)={Vec(sum(k=2, (sqrtint(8*n+1)-1)\2, x^binomial(k+1, 2)/(x^binomial(k+1, 2) - x^binomial(k, 2) - x^k + 1) + O(x*x^n)), -n)} \\ Andrew Howroyd, Sep 28 2019
Formula
a(n) has generating function x^3/(x^3 - x - x^2 + 1) + x^6/(x^6 - x^3 - x^3 + 1) + x^10/(x^10 - x^6 - x^4 + 1) + ... = Sum_{k >= 2} x^t(k)/(x^t(k) - x^t(k-1) - x^k + 1), where t(k) = A000217(k) is the k-th triangular number. Term k of this generating function generates the number of arithmetic progressions of k positive integers, strictly increasing with sum n. - Graeme McRae, Feb 08 2007

Conjecture: a(n) = Sum_{m|n, m odd > 1} floor(2 * (n - m)/(m* (m - 1))) + Sum_{m|n} floor((n - m * (5 - (-1)^(n/m))/2 + m^2 * (1 - (-1)^(n/m)))/(2*m * (2*m - 1))).
