%N Number of partitions of n in which the greatest part is 4.

%C Also number of partitions of n into exactly 4 parts.

%C Also the number of weighted cubic graphs on 4 nodes (=the tetrahedron) with weight n. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 03 2018

%C From _Gus Wiseman_, Jun 27 2021: (Start)

%C Also the number of strict integer partitions of 2n with alternating sum 4, or (by conjugation) partitions of 2n covering an initial interval of positive integers with exactly 4 odd parts. The strict partitions with alternating sum 4 are:

%C (4) (5,1) (6,2) (7,3) (8,4) (9,5) (10,6)

%C (5,2,1) (5,3,2) (5,4,3) (6,5,3) (7,6,3)
