Comments

The g.f. for "number of k's" is (1/2)*(x^k/(1+x^k))*(Product_{n>=1} 1 + x^n) + (1/2)*(x^k/(1-x^k))*(Product_{n>=1} 1 - x^n).

Examples

			a(12) = 2 because the partitions in question are: 6+5+1, 6+4+2.

Mathematica

nmax = 100; With[{k=6}, CoefficientList[Series[x^k/(1+x^k)/2 * Product[1 + x^j, {j, 1, nmax}] + x^k/(1-x^k)/2 * Product[1 - x^j, {j, 1, nmax}], {x, 0, nmax}], x]] (* Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 05 2025 *)

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{j=1..round(n/12)} A067661(n-(2*j-1)*6) - Sum_{j=1..floor(n/12)} A067659(n-12*j).
