FORMULA
G.f.: (1-x)^2*Sum_{k>=1} k*x^k/(1 - 2*x + x^(k+1))^2.
EXAMPLE
a(3)=10 because in the compositions 111, 12, 21, 3 the largest parts are 1, 2, 2, 3 with multiplicities 3, 1, 1, 1, respectively and 3*1 + 1*2 + 1*2 + 1*3 = 10.
MAPLE
G:=(1-x)^2*sum(k*x^k/(1-2*x+x^(k+1))^2, k=1..45): Gser:=series(G, x=0, 40): seq(coeff(Gser, x^n), n=1..35); # Emeric Deutsch, Jul 28 2005
