COMMENTS
All parts of a number partition with the same value form a clique. The size of a clique is the number of elements in the clique.

FORMULA
G.f.: (1-Product_{j>0} (1-x^(3*j)+x^(4*j))) / (Product_{j>0} (1-x^j)).
EXAMPLE
a(9) = 6, because 6 partitions of 9 contain (at least) one clique of size 3: [1,1,1,2,2,2], [2,2,2,3], [1,1,1,3,3], [3,3,3], [1,1,1,2,4], [1,1,1,6].
MAPLE
b:= proc(n, i) option remember; `if`(n=0, [1, 0], `if`(i<1, [0, 0],
add((l->`if`(j=3, [l[1]$2], l))(b(n-i*j, i-1)), j=0..n/i)))
end:
a:= n-> (l-> l[2])(b(n, n)):
seq(a(n), n=3..50);
MATHEMATICA
max = 50; f = (1 - Product[1 - x^(3j) + x^(4j), {j, 1, max}])/Product[1 - x^j, {j, 1, max}]; s = Series[f, {x, 0, max}]; Drop[CoefficientList[s, x], 3] (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 01 2014 *)
