Or, number of partitions of n in which number of largest parts is equal to the largest part.
a(n) is the number of partitions of n-1 without parts that differ by less than 2 and which have no parts less than three. [MacMahon]
There are two conflicting choices for the offset in this sequence. For the definition given here the offset is 1, and that is what we shall adopt. On the other hand, if one arrives at this sequence via the Rogers-Ramanujan identities (see the next comment), the natural offset is 0.
Related to Rogers-Ramanujan identities: Let G[1](q) and G[2](q) be the generating functions for the two Rogers-Ramanujan identities of A003114 and A003106, starting with the constant term 1. The g.f. for the present sequence is G[3](q) = (G[1](q) - G[2](q))/q = 1+q^3+q^4+q^5+q^6+q^7+2*q^8+2*q^9+3*q^10+.... - Joerg Arndt, Oct 08 2012; N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 18 2015
For more about the generalized Rogers-Ramanujan series G[i](x) see the Andrews-Baxter and Lepowsky-Zhu papers. The present series is G[3](x). - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 22 2015
From Hardy (H) p. 94, eq. (6.12.1) and Hardy-Wright (H-W), p. 293, eq. (19.14.3) for H_2(a,x) - H_1(a,x) = a*H_1(a*x,x) one finds from the result for H_1(a,x) (in (H) on top on p. 95), after putting a=x, the o.g.f. of a(n) = A003114(n) - A003106(n), n >= 0, with a(0) = 0 as Sum_{m>=0} x^((m+1)^2) / Product_{j=1..m} (1 - x^j). The m=0 term is 1*x^1. See the formula given by Joerg Arndt, Jan 29 2011.
This formula has a combinatorial interpretation (found similar to the one given in (H) section 6.0, pp. 91-92 or (H-W) pp. 290-291): a(n) is the number of partitions of n with parts differing by at least 2 and part 1 present. See the example for a(15) below. (End)
The Heinz numbers of these integer partitions are given by A324522. - Gus Wiseman, Mar 09 2019

FORMULA

G.f.: Sum_{m>=1} (x^(m^2)-x^(m*(m+1))) / Product_{i=1..m} (1-x^i) .
G.f.: Sum_{n>=1} x^(n^2)/Product_{k=1..n-1} (1-x^k). - Joerg Arndt, Jan 29 2011
Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation conjectured that this has g.f. = (1+z+z^4+2*z^5-z^3-z^8+3*z^10-z^7+z^9)/(1+z-z^4-2*z^3-z^8+z^10), but Michael Somos pointed out on Jan 22 2008 that this is false.
Expansion of ( f(-x^2, -x^3) - f(-x, -x^4) ) / f(-x) in powers of x where f(, ) is Ramanujan's general theta function. - Michael Somos, Jan 22 2007
a(n) ~ sqrt(1/sqrt(5) - 2/5) * exp(2*Pi*sqrt(n/15)) / (2*3^(1/4)*n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 01 2016

EXAMPLE

G.f. = x + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8 + 2*x^9 + 2*x^10 + 3*x^11 + 3*x^12 + ...
a(15) = 5 because the partitions of 15 where the smallest part equals the number of parts are
3 + 6 + 6,
3 + 5 + 7,
3 + 4 + 8,
3 + 3 + 9, and
2 + 13.
a(15) = 5 because the partitions of 15 with parts differing by at least 2 and part 1 present are: [14,1] obtained from the partition of 11 with one part, [11], added to the first part of the special partition [3,1] of 4 and [11,3,1], [10,4,1], [9,5,1], [8,6,1] from adding all partition of 15 - 9 = 6 with one part, [6], and those with two parts, [5,1], [4,1], [3,3], to the special partition [5,3,1] of 9. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 31 2016
a(15) = 5 because the partitions of 14 with parts >= 3 and parts differing by at least 2 are [14], [11,3], [10,4], [9,5] and [8,6]. See the second [MacMahon] comment. This follows from the g.f. G[3](q) given in Andrews - Baxter, eq. (5.1) for i=3, (using summation index m) and m*(m+2) = 3 + 5 + ... + (2*m+1). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 02 2016
The a(8) = 1 through a(15) = 5 integer partitions:
(6,2) (7,2) (8,2) (9,2) (10,2) (11,2) (12,2) (13,2)
(3,3,3) (4,3,3) (4,4,3) (5,4,3) (5,5,3) (6,5,3) (6,6,3)
(5,3,3) (6,3,3) (6,4,3) (7,4,3) (7,5,3)
(7,3,3) (8,3,3) (8,4,3)
(9,3,3)
