[seqfan] Re: definition of A002848

[N. J. A. Sloane]

Richard,  thanks for noticing that typo!

The definition should have read

%N A002848 a(n) = number of partitions of a subset of {1, 2, ..., n} into triples, as in A002849, with the property that n is in one of the triples.

referring to

%N A002849 Number of partitions of a subset of {1, 2, ..., n} into triples (X,Y,Z) each satisfying X+Y=Z, with the maximal possible number of such triples.

Both are based on

%D A002849 R. K. Guy, ``Sedlacek's Conjecture on Disjoint Solutions of x+y= z,'' Univ. Calgary, Dept. Mathematics, Research Paper No. 129, 1971.

and

%D A002849 R. K. Guy, ``Sedlacek's Conjecture on Disjoint Solutions of x+y= z,'' in Proc. Conf. Number Theory. Pullman, WA, 1971, pp. 221-223.

And we also have

%N A108235 Number of partitions of {1,2,...,3n} into n triples (X,Y,Z) each satisfying X+Y=Z.
%C A108235 It is known that a(n) = 0 unless n == 0 or 1 mod 4. For n == 0 or 1 mod 4, a(n) = A002849(3n). See A002849 for references and further information.

Incidentally, I just added another from the same stable:

%S A161826 1,1,3,2,6,1,6,1,5,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,

%N A161826 Number of maximal vertex-independent sets in the hypergraph with nodes V = {1, 2, ..., n} and "edges" consisting of the triples (X,Y,Z) with X<Y<Z and X+Y=Z.
%C A161826 A subset S of V is vertex-independent if there is no edge (X,Y,Z) with X, Y, Z all in S.
