A264592 Let G[1](q) denote the g.f. for A003114 and G[2](q) the g.f. for A003106 (the two Rogers-Ramanujan identities). For i>=3, let G[i](q) = (G[i-1](q)-G[i-2](q))/q^(i-2). Sequence gives coefficients of G[5](q). 9

COMMENTS
It is conjectured that G[i](q) = 1 + O(q^i) for all i.
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 03 2016: (Start)
The generalized Rogers-Ramanujan [R-R] series G[i](q) of Andrews and Baxter [A-B] have a standard combinatorial interpretation of the Schur and MacMahon type (see Hardy [H] and Hardy-Wright [H-W] for the original [R-R] case) inferred from the formula G[i](q) = Sum_{m >=0} q^(m*(m+i-1)}/Product_{j =1..m} (1 - q^j) ([A-B], eq. (5.1)). Define GI_k(q) = G[2*k+1](q) and GII_k(q) = G[2*k](q), for k = 0, 1,..., and prove the two formulas I(m,k): m*(m+2*k) = Sum_{j = 1..2*m-1} (2*k + j), and II(m,k): m*(m+2*k+1) = Sum_{j = 1..m} (2*(k + j)) for fixed positive m by induction over k = 0, 1, ... . For GI_k(q) define the special m-part partition SPI(m,k) = [2*k+2*m-1,2*k+2*m-3,...,2*k+1] of m*(m+2*k), and for GII_k(q) the special m-part partition SPII(m,k) [2*(k+1),2*(k+2),...,2*(k+1))] of m*(m+2*k+1).
Then GI_k(q) = 1 + Sum_{n >=1} aI(k,n)*q^n with aI(k,n) the number of partitions of n without parts 1, 2, ..., 2*k, and the parts differ by at least 2. GII_k(q) = 1 + Sum_{n >=1} aII(k,n)*q^n with aII(k,n) the number of partitions of n without parts 1, 2, ..., 2*k+1, and the parts differ by at least 2. The proof can be directly adapted from the one given in [H] or [H-W] for k=1.
For the partitions of n generated by GI_k(q) one needs the maximal part number MmaxI(k,n) = floor(-k + sqrt(k^2 + n)). For the GII_k(q) case MmaxII(k,n) = floor(-(2*k+1) + sqrt((2*k+1)^2 + 4*n)).
The present sequence is aI(2,n), in [A-B] notation generated by G[5](q), giving the number of partitions of n without parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the parts differ by at least 2.

FORMULA
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 03 2016: (Start)
G.f.: G[5](q) = GI_2(q) = Sum_{m >=0} q^(m*(m+4)) / Product_{j =1..m} (1 - q^j).
See [A-B], eq. (5.1) for i=5.
a(0) = 1 and a(n) gives the number of partitions of n without part 1 and 2, the parts differing by at least 2.
G.f.: Sum_{m=0} ((-1)^m*(1 - q^(m+1))*(1 - q^(m+2))*(1 - q^(m+3))*(1 - q^(2*(m+2))) * q^(5*(n+3)*n/2)) / Product_{j>=1} (1 - q^j). See [A-B], eq. (3.8) for i=5. (End)
a(n) ~ exp(2*Pi*sqrt(n/15)) / (2 * 3^(1/4) * sqrt(5) * phi^(7/2) * n^(3/4)), where phi = A001622 = (1+sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 24 2016
EXAMPLE
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 03 2016: (Start)
a(5) = 1 because the only partition of n = 5 without parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, and parts differing by at least 2 is [5].
a(12) = 2 from the two partitions [12] and [7,5] of n = 12.
a(18) = 5 from the five partitions [18], [13,5], [12,6], [11,7], [10,8] of n = 18.
