COMMENT

Same as number of partitions of n with distinct parts p(i) such that if i != j, then |p(i) - p(j)| >= 2.

As a formal power series, the limit of polynomials S(n,x): S(n,x)=sum(T(i,x),0<=i<=n); T(i,x)=S(i-2,x).x^i; T(0,x)=1,T(1,x)=x; S(n,1)=A000045(n+1), the Fibonacci sequence - Claude Lenormand (claude.lenormand(AT)free.fr), Feb 04 2001

The Rogers-Ramanujan identity is 1 + Sum_{n >= 1} t^(n^2)/((1-t)*(1-t^2)*...*(1-t^n)) = Product_{n >= 1} 1/((1-t^(5*n-1))*(1-t^(5*n-4))).

Coefficients in expansion of permanent of infinite tridiagonal matrix:

1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...

x 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 ...

0 x^2 1 1 0 0 0 ...

0 0 x^3 1 1 0 0 ...

0 0 0 x^4 1 1 0 ...

Also number of partitions of n such that the smallest part is greater than or equal to number of parts. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Jul 17 2004

Also number of partitions of n such that if k is the largest part, then each of {1,2,...,k-1} occur at least twice. Example: a(9)=5 because we have [3,2,2,1,1],[2,2,2,1,1,1],[2,2,1,1,1,1,1],[2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1], and [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Feb 27 2006

Also number of partitions of n such that if k is the largest part, then k occurs at least k times. Example: a(9)=5 because we have [3,3,3],[2,2,2,2,1],[2,2,2,1,1,1],[2,2,1,1,1,1,1], and [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 16 2006

FORMULA

G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} x^(k^2)/(Product_{i=1..k} 1-x^i).

G.f.: 1 + sum(i=1, oo, x^(5i+1)/prod(j=1 or 4 mod 5 and j<=5i+1, 1-x^j) + x^(5i+4)/prod(j=1 or 4 mod 5 and j<=5i+4, 1-x^j)) - Jon Perry (perry(AT)globalnet.co.uk), Jul 06 2004

G.f.: (Product_{k>0} 1+x^(2k))*(Sum_{k>=0} x^(k^2)/(Product_{i=1..k} 1-x^(4i))). - Michael Somos Oct 19 2006

EXAMPLE

a(9)=5 because we have [9],[6,1,1,1],[4,4,1],[4,1,1,1,1,1], and [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1].

MAPLE

g:=sum(x^(k^2)/product(1-x^j, j=1..k), k=0..10): gser:=series(g, x=0, 65): seq(coeff(gser, x, n), n=0..60); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Feb 27 2006

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polcoeff(sum(k=0, sqrtint(n), x^k^2/prod(i=1, k, 1-x^i, 1+x*O(x^n))), n))
