A336972 Sum of the smallest two side lengths of all distinct integer-sided triangles with perimeter n. 0

%N Sum of the smallest two side lengths of all distinct integer-sided triangles with perimeter n.

%H Wikipedia, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_triangle">Integer Triangle</a>

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..floor(n/3)} Sum_{i=k..floor((n-k)/2)} sign(floor((i+k)/(n-i-k+1))) * (i + k).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Aug 10 2020: (Start)

%F G.f.: x^3*(2 + 2*x + 3*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 3*x^5 + 3*x^6) / ((1 - x)^4*(1 + x)^3*(1 + x^2)^2*(1 + x + x^2)^2).

%F a(n) = -a(n-1) + 2*a(n-3) + 4*a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5) - a(n-6) - 5*a(n-7) - 5*a(n-8) - a(n-9) + 2*a(n-10) + 4*a(n-11) + 2*a(n-12) - a(n-14) - a(n-15) for n>15.

%F (End)

%e a(3) = 2; There is one integer-sided triangle with perimeter 3, [1,1,1]. The sum of the smallest two side lengths is 1 + 1 = 2.

%e a(7) = 8; There are two distinct integer-sided triangles with perimeter 7, [1,3,3] and [2,2,3]. The sum of the smallest two side lengths of these triangles is 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 8.
