For n >= 1, a(n) is also the number of conjugacy classes in the automorphism group of the n-dimensional hypercube. This automorphism group is the wreath product of the cyclic group C_2 and the symmetric group S_n, its order is in sequence A000165. - Dan Fux (dan.fux(AT)OpenGaia.com or danfux(AT)OpenGaia.com), Nov 04 2001
Also, number of noncongruent matrices in GL_n(Z): each Jordan block can only have +1 or -1 on the diagonal. - Michele Dondi (blazar(AT)lcm.mi.infn.it), Jun 15 2004
a(n) = Sum (k(1)+1)*(k(2)+1)*...*(k(n)+1), where the sum is taken over all (k(1),k(2),...,k(n)) such that k(1)+2*k(2)+...+n*k(n) = n, k(i)>=0, i=1..n, cf. A104510, A077285. - Vladeta Jovovic, Apr 21 2005
Convolution of partition numbers (A000041) with itself. - Graeme McRae, Jun 07 2006
Number of one-to-one partial endofunctions on n unlabeled points. Connected components are either cycles or "lines", hence two for each size. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Dec 28 2006
Equals A000716: (1, 3, 9, 22, 561, 108, ...) convolved with A010815. A000716 = the number of partitions of n into parts of 3 kinds = the Euler transform of [3,3,3,...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 26 2008
Paraphrasing the g.f.: 1 + 2x + 5x^2 + ... = s(x) * s(x^2) * s(x^3) * s(x^4) * ...; where s(x) = 1 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + ... is (up to a factor x) the g.f. of A000027. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 01 2010
Also equals number of partitions of 2n in which the odd parts appear as many times in even as in odd positions. - Wouter Meeussen, Apr 17 2013
Also number of ordered pairs (R,S) with R a partition of r, S a partition of s, and r+s=n; see example. This corresponds to the formula a(n) = sum(r+s==n, p(r)*p(s) ) = Sum_{k=0..n} p(k)*p(n-k). - Joerg Arndt, Apr 29 2013
Also the number of all multi-graphs with exactly n-edges and with vertex degrees 1 or 2. - Ebrahim Ghorbani, Dec 02 2013
If one decomposes k-permutations into cycles and so-called paths, the number of different type of decompositions equals to a(k); see the paper by Chen, Ghorbani, and Wong. - Ebrahim Ghorbani, Dec 02 2013
Let T(n,k) be the number of partitions of n having parts 1 through k of two kinds, with T(n,0) = A000041(n), the number of partitions of n. Then a(n) = T(n,0) + T(n-1,1) + T(n-2,2) + T(n-3,3) + ... - Gregory L. Simay, May 18 2019
Also the number of orbits of projections in the partition monoid P_n under conjugation by permutations. - James East, Jul 21 2020

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} p(k)*p(n-k), where p(n) = A000041(n).
Euler transform of period 1 sequence [ 2, 2, 2, ...]. - Michael Somos, Jul 22 2003
a(0) = 1, a(n) = (1/n)*Sum_{k=0..n-1} 2*a(k)*sigma_1(n-k). - Joerg Arndt, Feb 05 2011
a(n) ~ (1/12)*3^(1/4)*n^(-5/4)*exp((2/3)*sqrt(3)*Pi*sqrt(n)). - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), Sep 13 2002
More precise asymptotics: a(n) ~ exp(2*Pi*sqrt(n/3)) / (4*3^(3/4)*n^(5/4)) * (1 - (Pi/(12*sqrt(3)) + 15*sqrt(3)/(16*Pi)) / sqrt(n) + (Pi^2/864 + 315/(512*Pi^2) + 35/192)/n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 22 2017
From Peter Bala, Jan 26 2016: (Start)
a(n) is odd iff n = 2*m and p(m) is odd.
a(n) = (2/n)*Sum_{k = 0..n} k*p(k)*p(n-k) for n >= 1.
Conjecture: : a(n) is divisible by 5 when n is congruent to 2, 3 or 4 modulo 5. (End)
Conjecture is proved in Hammond and Lewis. - Yen-chi R. Lin, Jun 24 2024
G.f.: exp(2*Sum_{k>=1} x^k/(k*(1 - x^k))). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 06 2018
With the convention that a(n) = 0 for n < 0 we have the recurrence a(n) = g(n) + Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)*(2*k + 1)*a(n - k*(k + 1)/2), where g(n) = (-1)^m if n = m*(3*m - 1)/2 is a generalized pentagonal number (A001318) else g(n) = 0. For example, n = 7 = -2*(3*(-2) - 1)/2 is a pentagonal number, g(7) = 1, and so a(7) = 1 + 3*a(6) - 5*a(4) + 7*a(1) = 1 + 195 - 100 + 14 = 110. - Peter Bala, Apr 06 2022
a(n) = p(n/2) + Sum_{k \in Z, k != 0} (-1)^{k-1} a(n-k^2), here p(n) = A000041(n) and p(x) = 0 when x is not an integer. - Yen-chi R. Lin, Jun 24 2024
EXAMPLE
Assume there are integers of two kinds: k and k'; then a(3) = 10 since 3 has the following partitions into parts of two kinds: 111, 111', 11'1', 1'1'1', 12, 1'2, 12', 1'2', 3, and 3'. - W. Edwin Clark, Jun 24 2011
There are a(4)=20 partitions of 4 into 2 sorts of parts. Here p:s stands for "part p of sort s":
01: [ 1:0 1:0 1:0 1:0 ]
02: [ 1:0 1:0 1:0 1:1 ]
03: [ 1:0 1:0 1:1 1:1 ]
04: [ 1:0 1:1 1:1 1:1 ]
05: [ 1:1 1:1 1:1 1:1 ]

07: [ 2:0 1:0 1:1 ]
08: [ 2:0 1:1 1:1 ]
09: [ 2:0 2:0 ]
10: [ 2:0 2:1 ]
11: [ 2:1 1:0 1:0 ]
12: [ 2:1 1:0 1:1 ]
13: [ 2:1 1:1 1:1 ]
14: [ 2:1 2:1 ]
15: [ 3:0 1:0 ]
16: [ 3:0 1:1 ]
17: [ 3:1 1:0 ]
18: [ 3:1 1:1 ]
19: [ 4:0 ]
20: [ 4:1 ]
