Formula

G.f.: a(x)=(r(x)^2+r(x^2))/2, where r(x) is the generating function of A000235. - Sean A. Irvine, Nov 21 2010

Maple

b:= proc(n, i, k) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, `if`(i<1 or k<1, 0,
     add(binomial(b((i-1)$2, k-1)+j-1, j)*b(n-i*j, i-1, k), j=0..n/i)))
    end:
g:= n-> b((n-1)$2, 3) -b((n-1)$2, 2):
a:= n-> (add(g(i)*g(n-i), i=0..n)+`if`(n::even, g(n/2), 0))/2:
seq(a(n), n=8..40);  # Alois P. Heinz, Feb 09 2016

Mathematica

m = 50; r[x_] = (Rest @ CoefficientList[ Series[ x*Product[ (1 - x^k)^(- PartitionsP[k-1]), {k, 1, m+3}], {x, 0, m+3}], x] - PartitionsP[ Range[0, m+2]]).(x^Range[m+3]); A000550 = CoefficientList[(r[x]^2 + r[x^2])/2, x][[9 ;; m+8]] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 09 2016 *)
