Also the number of integer partitions of n with alternating sum <= 1, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. These are the conjugates of partitions with at most one odd part. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(9) = 12 partitions with alternating sum <= 1 are:
1 11 21 22 32 33 43 44 54
111 1111 221 2211 331 2222 441
2111 111111 2221 3311 3222
11111 3211 221111 3321

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+x/(1-x^2))/Product(1-x^(2*i), i=1..infinity). More generally, g.f. for number of partitions of n with at most k odd parts is (1+Sum(x^i/Product(1-x^(2*j), j=1..i), i=1..k))/Product(1-x^(2*i), i=1..infinity).
a(n) ~ exp(sqrt(n/3)*Pi) / (2*sqrt(3)*n) if n is even and a(n) ~ exp(sqrt(n/3)*Pi) / (2*Pi*sqrt(n)) if n is odd. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 07 2016
