A117143 Number of partitions of n in which any two parts differ by at most 3. 8

FORMULA
G.f.: sum(x^k/[(1-x^k)(1-x^(k+1))(1-x^(k+2))(1-x^(k+3))], k=1..infinity). More generally, the g.f. of the number of partitions in which any two parts differ by at most b is sum(x^k/product(1-x^j, j=k..k+b), k=1..infinity).
G.f.: x*(x^5-x^4-x^3+x+1) / ((x-1)^4*(x+1)*(x^2+x+1)^2). - Colin Barker, Mar 05 2015
a(n)=(2*floor((n+2)/3)*(14*floor((n+2)/3)^2-(10*n+21)*floor((n+2)/3)+2*(n^2+5*n+7))-(1-(-1)^floor((n+2)/3))*(-1)^(n+2-floor((n+2)/3)))/16. - Luce ETIENNE, May 12 2015
EXAMPLE
a(6) = 10 because we have [6], [4,2], [4,1,1], [3,3], [3,2,1], [3,1,1,1], [2,2,2], [2,2,1,1], [2,1,1,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1,1] ([5,1] does not qualify).
MAPLE
g:=sum(x^k/(1-x^k)/(1-x^(k+1))/(1-x^(k+2))/(1-x^(k+3)), k=1..85): gser:=series(g, x=0, 65): seq(coeff(gser, x^n), n=1..59); with(combinat): for n from 1 to 7 do P:=partition(n): A:={}: for j from 1 to nops(P) do if P[j][nops(P[j])]-P[j][1]<4 then A:=A union {P[j]} else A:=A fi od: print(A); od: # this program yields the partitions
