FORMULA
a(n) = b(n, 1, 0, 0) with b(n, i, j, f) = if i<n then b(n-i, i, i, 1-f-(1-2*f)*0^(i-j)) + b(n, i+1, j, f) else (1-f-(1-2*f)*0^(i-j))*0^(i-n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 19 2004
G.f.: F(x)*G(x)/2, where F(x) = 1-Product(1-2*x^i, i=1..infinity) and G(x) = 1/Product(1-x^i, i=1..infinity).
a(n) = (A000041(n)-A104575(n))/2.
G.f. A(x) equals the off-diagonal entries in the 2 X 2 matrix Product_{n >= 1} [1, x^n/(1 - x^n); x^n/(1 - x^n), 1] = [B(x), A(x); A(x), B(x)], where B(x) is the g.f. of A092306. - Peter Bala, Feb 10 2021
EXAMPLE
n=6 has A000041(6)=11 partitions: 6, 5+1, 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 with partition sets: {6}, {1,5}, {2,4}, {1,4}, {3}, {1,2,3}, {1,3}, {2}, {1,2}, {1,2} and {1}, five of them have an odd number of elements, therefore a(6)=5.
