The volume and perimeter of a set S of nonnegative integers are introduced in the reference. The volume is defined simply as the sum of the elements of S, and the perimeter is defined as the sum of the elements of S whose predecessor and successor are not both in S.
Conjecture: number of partitions of n into two sorts of parts such that no two successive parts are the same sort (as the order of sorts in a run of identical parts is immaterial, there can be at most two parts of same size), see example. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 01 2013
The conjecture of Arndt [namely that a(n) = A227134(n) + A227135(n)] has been verified for n < 1200. - Patrick Devlin, Jul 02 2013
a(n) is also the number of ways to write n as the sum of nonnegative integers, t_1 < t_2 < ... < t_k, such that (i) each such integer is labeled "E" or "F", (ii) t_1 is labeled "E", (iii) if t_j - t_{j-1} = 1, then t_j is labeled "F", and (iv) the label "F" does not appear twice in a row. (This includes the empty sum for the case n=0.) See examples. - Patrick Devlin, Jul 03 2013

The last set contribution to a(n) n has index 2^(n+1)-1, so the statistics is complete up to 4.
We find a(1)=2, a(1)=2, a(2)=2, and a(4)=6.
(End)
The six sets {4}, {0,4}, {1,3}, {0,1,3}, {1,2,3}, and {0,1,2,3,4}, and no others, have perimeter 4, so a(4)=6.

From _Patrick Devlin_, Jul 03 2013: (Start)
The six sets {4}, {0,4}, {1,3}, {0,1,3}, {1,2,3}, and {0,1,2,3,4}, and no others, have perimeter 4, so a(4)=6.  These sets correspond to the labeled partitions (allowing 0 as a part)  [4E], [0E, 4E], [1E, 3E], [0E, 1F, 3E], [1E, 3F], and [0E, 4F] (respectively).
To explain this bijection further, the partition itself (e.g., 32 = 0 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 12) corresponds to which integers of the set will contribute to the perimeter.  Thus, this unlabeled partition of 32 corresponds to the family of sets of the form {0, ??, 2, ??, 4, 5, ??, 9, ??, 12}.  Then we only need to decide for each gap (here represented as ??) whether or not to fill it in ("F") with the corresponding string of consecutive integers or to leave it empty ("E").  This decision making process is equivalent to labeling each integer immediately following a gap with "F" or "E" (to denote if the gap is filled or empty) subject to the four 'rules' above [Rules (ii) and (iii) force the appropriate labelings for places where there are no gap (in this example, before 0 and before 5).  And rule (iv) ensures that consecutive gaps are not both filled (in order to preserve the 'boundary' of the set).].
In the unlabeled example 32 = 0 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 12, as we begin to label, rules (ii) and (iii) force us to have [0E, 2?, 4?, 5F, 9?, 12?].  Then since we may not have two consecutive labels of "F", we are forced to have [0E, 2?, 4E, 5F, 9E, 12?].  We can then label 2 as either "F" or "E" (which determines whether or not 1 is in the set), and we can independently label 12 as "F" or "E" (which determines whether or not {10, 11} is in the set).  For instance, the labeling [0E, 2E, 4E, 5F, 9E, 12F] corresponds to the set {0, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12}, which has perimeter 32.
Given an unlabeled partition, after the partially labeling that's forced to satisfy rules (ii), (iii), and (iv), then the number of ways to extend this partial labeling to a valid labeling is related to the Fibonacci numbers (in a clear but perhaps useless way).
Noting that a(n) is the same as counting these 'labeled partitions' (allowing 0 as a part) may help prove the conjecture of Arndt [namely that a(n) = A227134(n) + A227135(n)].
