Comments

a(n) is also the denominator of the finite algebraic formula for the number of partitions of n, if n >= 1. The formula is p(n) = Tr(n)/(24*n - 1), n >= 1. See theorem 1.1 of the Bruinier-Ono paper in the link. For the numerators see A183011.

It appears that a(n) is also the denominator of the coefficient of the third term in the n-th Bruinier-Ono "partition polynomial" H_n(x). See the Bruinier-Ono paper, chapter 5 "Examples". For the numerators see A183007. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 13 2011

Also exponents in the formula q^(-1) + q^23 + 2*q^47 + 3*q^71 + 5*q^95 + 7*q^119 + 11*q^143 + 15*q^167 + ... in which the coefficients are the partition numbers (see A000041, Example section). - Omar E. Pol, Feb 27 2013
