Number of ways to factor p^n*q^3 where p and q are distinct primes.

Number of Gaussian partitions of n+3*i or 3+n*i where a "Gaussian partition" is a way of writing a Gaussian integer with nonnegative parts as a sum of Gaussian integers with nonnegative parts, imaginary numbers and real numbers. For k = 3+1*i (where i is the imaginary unit), the a(1)=7 ways to write k (where parentheses represent a complex number and a lack of them represents a sum of a real and imaginary number) would be 3+i, (3+i), 2+1+i, (2+i)+1, (1+i)+2, 1+1+1+i, (1+i)+1+1. - Yali Harrary, Nov 20 2022

a(n) is the number of multiset partitions of the multiset {r^n, s^3}. - Joerg Arndt, Jan 01 2024
