Solid Partition


Solid partitions are generalizations of plane partitions. MacMahon (1960) conjectured the generating function for the number of solid partitions was

 f(z)=1/((1-z)(1-z^2)^3(1-z^3)^6(1-z^4)^(10)...),

but this was subsequently shown to disagree at n=6 (Atkin et al. 1967). Knuth (1970) extended the tabulation of values, but was unable to find a correct generating function. The first few values are 1, 4, 10, 26, 59, 140, ... (OEIS A000293).
