Case k=4, i=3 of Gordon Theorem.

Expansion of q^(-1/12)*eta(q^3)/eta(q) in powers of q. - Michael Somos, Apr 20 2004

Euler transform of period 3 sequence [1,1,0,...]. - Michael Somos, Apr 20 2004

Also number of partitions with at most 2 parts of size 1 and all differences between parts at distance 3 are greater than 1. Example: a(6)=7 because we have [6],[5,1],[4,2],[4,1,1],[3,3],[3,2,1] and [2,2,2] (for example, [2,2,1,1] does not qualify because the difference between the first and the fourth parts is equal to 1). - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 18 2006

Also number of partitions of n where no positive integer appears more than twice. Example: a(6)=7 because we have [6],[5,1],[4,2],[4,1,1],[3,3],[3,2,1] and [2,2,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 18 2006

Also number of partitions of n with least part either 1 or 2 and with differences of consecutive parts at most 2. Example: a(6)=7 because we have [4,2],[3,2,1],[3,1,1,1],[2,2,2],[2,2,1,1],[2,1,1,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 18 2006

Equals left border of triangle A174714 [From Gary W. Adamson, Mar 27 2010]

Triangle A113685 is equivalent to p(x) = p(x^2) * A000009(x); given A000041(x) = p(x). Triangle A176202 is equivalent to p(x) = p(x^3) * A000726(x). [Gary W. Adamson, Apr 11 2010]

Convolution of A035382 and A035386. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 23 2015

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(prod(k>=1, (1-x^(3*k-1))*(1-x^(3*k-2)))) = prod(k>=1, 1+x^k+x^(2*k) ) (where 1+x+x^2 is 3rd cyclotomic polynomial).

a(n) = A061197(n, n).

Given g.f. A(x) then B(x)=x*A(x^6)^2 satisfies 0=f(B(x), B(x^2), B(x^4)) where f(u,v,w)= +v^2 +v*w^2 -v*u^2 +3*u^2*w^2 . - Michael Somos, May 28 2006

G.f.: P(x^3)/P(x) where P(x)=prod(k>=1, 1-x^k ). [Joerg Arndt, Jun 21 2011]

a(n) ~ exp(2*Pi*sqrt(n)/3) / (6*n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 23 2015

EXAMPLE

There are a(6)=7 partitions of 6 into parts !=0 (mod 3):

[ 1]  [5,1],

[ 2]  [4,2],

[ 3]  [4,1,1],

[ 4]  [2,2,2],

[ 5]  [2,2,1,1],

[ 6]  [2,1,1,1,1], and

[ 7]  [1,1,1,1,1,1]

.

From Joerg Arndt, Dec 29 2012: (Start)

There are a(10)=22 partitions p(1)+p(2)+...+p(m)=10 such that p(k)!=p(k-2) (that is, no part appears more than twice):

[ 1]  [ 3 3 2 1 1 ]

[ 2]  [ 3 3 2 2 ]

[ 3]  [ 4 2 2 1 1 ]

[ 4]  [ 4 3 2 1 ]

[ 5]  [ 4 3 3 ]

[ 6]  [ 4 4 1 1 ]

[ 7]  [ 4 4 2 ]

[ 8]  [ 5 2 2 1 ]

[ 9]  [ 5 3 1 1 ]

[10]  [ 5 3 2 ]

[11]  [ 5 4 1 ]

[12]  [ 5 5 ]

[13]  [ 6 2 1 1 ]

[14]  [ 6 2 2 ]

[15]  [ 6 3 1 ]

[16]  [ 6 4 ]

[17]  [ 7 2 1 ]

[18]  [ 7 3 ]

[19]  [ 8 1 1 ]

[20]  [ 8 2 ]

[21]  [ 9 1 ]

[22]  [ 10 ]
