Number of partitions of 4n into up to 8 parts each no more than n; or partitions of 4n into up to n parts each no more than 8; or partitions of 5n into exactly n single digit parts; or partitions of 4(n+2) into exactly 8 parts each no more than n+1; or partitions of 4(n+9) into exactly 8 distinct parts each no more than n+8; etc. Points lie on 252 different septics with the pattern repeating every 420 points, amounting to 4 sets of parallel septics depending on whether n mod 6 is in {0}, {1,5}, {2,4} or {3}.

Also, the dimension of the vector space of homogeneous covariants of degree n for the binary form of degree 8. - Leonid Bedratyuk (bedratyuk(AT)ief.tup.km.ua), Dec 06 2006

a(3)=13 since partitions of 12 into up to 8 parts each no more than 3 are 3+3+3+3 = 3+3+3+2+1 = 3+3+3+1+1+1 = 3+3+2+2+2 = 3+3+2+2+1+1 = 3+3+2+1+1+1+1 = 3+3+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 3+2+2+2+2+1 = 3+2+2+2+1+1+1 = 3+2+2+1+1+1+1+1 = 2+2+2+2+2+2 = 2+2+2+2+2+1+1 = 2+2+2+2+1+1+1+1; or equivalently partitions of 15 into exactly 3 single digit numbers are 9+5+1 = 9+4+2 = 9+3+3 = 8+6+1 = 8+5+2 = 8+4+3 = 7+7+1 = 7+6+2 = 7+5+3 = 7+4+4 = 6+6+3 = 6+5+4 =5+5+5.
