An ordinary partition is a row of numbers in nondecreasing order whose sum is n. Here the numbers are in a three-dimensional pile, nondecreasing in the x-, y- and z-directions.
Finding a g.f. for this sequence is an unsolved problem. At first it was thought that it was given by A000294.
Equals A000041 convolved with A002836: [1, 0, 2, 5, 12, 24, 56, 113, ...] and row sums of the convolution triangle A161564. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 13 2009

			Examples for n=2 and n=3.
a(2) = 4: 2; 11 where the first 1 is at the origin and the second 1 is in the x, y or z direction.
a(3) = 10: 3; 21 where the 2 is at the origin and the 1 is on the x, y or z axis; 111 (a row of 3 ones on the x, y or z axes); and three 1's with one 1 at the origin and the other two 1's on two of the three axes.

Definition, based on Math. Review MR0297583: By a solid partition of n is meant a 3-dimensional arrangement of positive integers N(x,y,z) satisfying the conditions (i) the integer N(x,y,z) is located at the point with Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z); N(x,y,z) is defined only for certain integers x,y,z >= 0, and (ii) if N(x,y,z) is defined and 0 <= x' <= x, 0 <= y' <= y, 0 <= z' <= z then N(x,y,z) is defined and N(x',y',z') <= N(x,y,z). A solid partition is said to correspond to an (ordinary) partition of n=n_1+n_2+...+n_t, n_k>0, if there is a one-to-one correspondence between the summands n_k and the points (x_k,y_k,z_k) for which N is defined so that n_k=N(x_k,y_k,z_k). Finally, a restricted solid partition is a solid partition such that x'<=x, y'<=y, z'<=z and N(x',y',z')=N(x,y,z) implies x'=x, y'=y, z'=z.

Alternatively, a restricted solid partition is an infinite three-dimensional array of nonnegative integers summing to n such that all one-dimensional sections are strictly decreasing until they become all zeros. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 22 2019
