COMMENTS
In the first Maple program (improvable) AS gives the positive alternating sum of a finite sequence s, EP gives the number of even terms of a finite sequence of positive integers.
For the specified value of n, the second Maple program lists the partitions of n counted by a(n).
Also the number of integer partitions of n with as many even parts as odd parts in the conjugate partition. - Gus Wiseman, Jul 26 2021
