First differences of A000123; also A000123 with terms repeated. See the relevant proof that follows the first formula below.
Among these partitions there is exactly one partition with all distinct terms, as every number can be expressed as the sum of the distinct powers of 2.
Euler transform of A036987 with offset 1.
a(n) is the number of "non-squashing" partitions of n, that is, partitions n = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_k with 1 <= p_1 <= p_2 <= ... <= p_k and p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_i <= p_{i+1} for all 1 <= i < k. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 30 2003
Normally the OEIS does not include sequences like this where every term is repeated, but an exception was made for this one because of its importance. The unrepeated sequence A000123 is the main entry.
Number of different partial sums from 1 + [1, *2] + [1, *2] + ..., where [1, *2] means we can either add 1 or multiply by 2. E.g., a(6) = 6 because we have 6 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = (1+1) * 2 + 1 + 1 = 1 * 2 * 2 + 1 + 1 = (1+1+1) * 2 = 1 * 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = (1*2+1) * 2 where the connection is defined via expanding each bracket; e.g., this is 6 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 + 1 + 1 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 + 2. - Jon Perry, Jan 01 2004
Number of partitions p of n such that the number of compositions generated by p is odd. For proof see the Alekseyev and Adams-Watters link. - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 06 2007
Differs from A008645 first at a(64). - R. J. Mathar, May 28 2008
Appears to be row sums of A155077. - Mats Granvik, Jan 19 2009
Number of partitions (p_1, p_2, ..., p_k) of n, with p_1 >= p_2 >= ... >= p_k, such that for each i, p_i >= p_{i+1} + ... + p_k. - John MCKAY (mckay(AT)encs.concordia.ca), Mar 06 2009 (these are the "non-squashing" partitions as nonincreasing lists).
Equals rightmost diagonal of triangle of A168261. Starting with offset 1 = eigensequence of triangle A115361 and row sums of triangle A168261. - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 21 2009
Equals convolution square root of A171238: (1, 2, 5, 8, 16, 24, 40, 56, 88, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 05 2009
Let B = the n-th convolution power of the sequence and C = the aerated variant of B. It appears that B/C = the binomial sequence beginning (1, n, ...). Example: Third convolution power of the sequence is (1, 3, 9, 19, 42, 78, 146, ...), with C = (1, 0, 3, 0, 9, 0, 19, ...). Then B/C = (1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 15 2016
From Gary W. Adamson, Sep 08 2016: (Start)
The limit of the matrix power M^k as n-->inf results in a single column vector equal to the sequence, where M is the following production matrix:
1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...
1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...
1, 1, 1, 0, 0, ...
1, 1, 1, 0, 0, ...
1, 1, 1, 1, 0, ...
1, 1, 1, 1, 0, ...
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...
... (End)
a(n) is the number of "non-borrowing" partitions of n, meaning binary subtraction of a smaller part from a larger part will never require place-value borrowing. - David V. Feldman, Jan 29 2020
From Gus Wiseman, May 25 2024: (Start)
Also the number of multisets of positive integers whose binary rank is n, where the binary rank of a multiset m is given by Sum_i 2^(m_i-1). For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 10 multisets are:
{1} {2} {12} {3} {13} {23} {123} {4}
{11} {111} {22} {122} {113} {1113} {33}
{112} {1112} {222} {1222} {223}
{1111} {11111} {1122} {11122} {1123}

For example, the five partitions of 4, written in nonincreasing order, are [1, 1, 1, 1], [2, 1, 1], [2, 2], [3, 1], [4]. The last four satisfy the condition, and a(4) = 4. The Maple program below verifies this for small values of n.

Formula

a(2m+1) = a(2m), a(2m) = a(2m-1) + a(m). Proof: If n is odd there is a part of size 1; removing it gives a partition of n - 1. If n is even either there is a part of size 1, whose removal gives a partition of n - 1, or else all parts have even sizes and dividing each part by 2 gives a partition of n/2.
