Also number of nonnegative solutions to b + 2c + 3d + 4e + ... = n and the number of nonnegative solutions to 2c + 3d + 4e + ... <= n. - Henry Bottomley, Apr 17 2001

a(n) is also the number of conjugacy classes in the symmetric group S_n (and the number of irreducible representations of S_n).

Also the number of rooted trees with n+1 nodes and height at most 2.

Coincides with the sequence of numbers of nilpotent conjugacy classes in the Lie algebras gl(n). A006950, A015128 and this sequence together cover the nilpotent conjugacy classes in the classical A,B,C,D series of Lie algebras. - Alexander Elashvili, Sep 08 2003

Sequence agrees with expansion of Molien series for symmetric group S_n up to the term in x^n. - Maurice D. Craig (towenaar(AT)optusnet.com.au), Oct 30 2006

Also the number of nonnegative integer solutions to x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + ... + x_n = n such that n >= x_1 >= x_2 >= x_3 >= ... >= x_n >= 0, because by letting y_k = x_k - x_(k+1) >= 0 (where 0 < k < n) we get y_1 + 2y_2 + 3y_3 + ... + (n-1)y_(n-1) + nx_n = n. - Werner Grundlingh (wgrundlingh(AT)gmail.com), Mar 14 2007

Let P(z) := Sum_{j>=0} b_j z^j, b_0 != 0. Then 1/P(z) = Sum_{j>=0} c_j z^j, where the c_j must be computed from the infinite triangular system b_0 c_0 = 1, b_0 c_1 + b_1 c_0 = 0 and so on (Cauchy products of the coefficients set to zero). The n-th partition number arises as the number of terms in the numerator of the expression for c_n: The coefficient c_n of the inverted power series is a fraction with b_0^(n+1) in the denominator and in its numerator having a(n) products of n coefficients b_i each. The partitions may be read off from the indices of the b_i. - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Apr 09 2007

A sequence of positive integers p = p_1 ... p_k is a descending partition of the positive integer n if p_1 + ... + p_k = n and p_1 >= ... >= p_k. If formally needed p_j = 0 is appended to p for j > k. Let P_n denote the set of these partition for some n >= 1. Then a(n) = 1 + Sum_{p in P_n} floor((p_1-1)/(p_2+1)). (Cf. A000065, where the formula reduces to the sum.) Proof in Kelleher and O'Sullivan (2009). For example a(6) = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 11. - Peter Luschny, Oct 24 2010

Let n = Sum( k_(p_m) p_m ) = k_1 + 2k_2 + 5k_5 + 7k_7 + ..., where p_m is the m-th generalized pentagonal number (A001318). Then a(n) is the sum over all such pentagonal partitions of n of (-1)^(k_5+k_7 + k_22 + ...) ( k_1 + k_2 + k_5 + ...)! /( k_1! k_2! k_5! ...), where the exponent of (-1) is the sum of all the k's corresponding to even-indexed GPN's. - Jerome Malenfant, Feb 14 2011

Let k > 0 be an integer, and let i_1, i_2, ..., i_k be distinct integers such that 1 <= i_1 < i_2 < ... < i_k. Then, equivalently, a(n) equals the number of partitions of N = n + i_1 + i_2 + ... + i_k in which each i_j (1 <= j <= k) appears as a part at least once. To see this, note that the partitions of N of this class must be in 1-to-1 correspondence with the partitions of n, since N - i_1 - i_2 - ... - i_k = n. - L. Edson Jeffery, Apr 16 2011

a(n) is the number of distinct degree sequences over all free trees having n + 2 nodes. Take a partition of the integer n, add 1 to each part and append as many 1's as needed so that the total is 2n + 2. Now we have a degree sequence of a tree with n + 2 nodes. Example: The partition 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 corresponds to the degree sequence {4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} of a tree with 8 vertices. - Geoffrey Critzer, Apr 16 2011

Conjecture: No a(n) has the form x^m with m > 1 and x > 1. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Dec 02 2013

Partitions of n that contain a part p are the partitions of n - p. Thus, number of partitions of m*n - r that include k*n as a part is A000041(h*n-r), where h = m - k >= 0, n >= 2, 0 <= r < n; see A111295 as an example. - Clark Kimberling, Mar 03 2014

a(n) is the number of compositions of n into positive parts avoiding the pattern [1, 2]. - Bob Selcoe, Jul 08 2014

Conjecture: For any j there exists k such that all primes p <= A000040(j) are factors of one or more a(n) <= a(k). Growth of this coverage is slow and irregular. k = 1067 covers the first 102 primes, thus slower than A000027. - Richard R. Forberg, Dec 08 2014

a(n) is the number of nilpotent conjugacy classes in the order-preserving, order-decreasing and (order-preserving and order-decreasing) injective transformation semigroups. - Ugbene Ifeanyichukwu, Jun 03 2015

Define a segmented partition a(n,k, ) to be a partition of n with exactly k parts, with s(j) parts t(j) identical to each other and distinct from all the other parts. Note that n >= k, j <= k, 0 <= s(j) <= k, s(1)t(1) + ... + s(j)t(j) = n and s(1) + ... + s(j) = k. Then there are up to a(k) segmented partitions of n with exactly k parts. - Gregory L. Simay, Nov 08 2015

The polynomials for a(n, k, ) have degree j-1.

a(n, k, ) = 1 if n = 0 mod k, = 0 otherwise

a(rn, rk, ) = a(n, k, )

a(n odd, k, ) = 0

Established results can be recast in terms of segmented partitions:

For j(j+1)/2 <= n < (j+1)(j+2)/2, A000009(n) = a(n, 1, <1>) + ... + a(n, j, ), j < n

a(n, k, ) = a(n - j(j-1)/2, k)

Conjecture: Each integer n > 2 different from 6 can be written as a sum of finitely many numbers of the form a(k) + 2 (k > 0) with no summand dividing another. This has been verified for n <= 7140. - Zhi-Wei Sun, May 16 2023

a(n) is also the number of partitions of n*(n+3)/2 into n distinct parts. - David García Herrero, Aug 20 2024

a(n) is also the number of non-isomorphic sigma algebras on {1,...,n}. A000110(n) counts all sigma algebras on {1,...,n}. Every sigma algebra on a finite set X is exactly the collection of all unions of its atoms (its minimal nonempty members), and those atoms partition X. An isomorphism of sigma algebras must map atoms to atoms, so the isomorphism class of a sigma algebra is determined by the multiset of its atom-sizes, which is an integer partition of n. - Matthew Azar, Jul 18 2025

Partitions into distinct parts are sometimes called "strict partitions".

Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

The result that number of partitions of n into distinct parts = number of partitions of n into odd parts is due to Euler.

Bijection: given n = L1* 1 + L2*3 + L3*5 + L7*7 + ..., a partition into odd parts, write each Li in binary, Li = 2^a1 + 2^a2 + 2^a3 + ... where the aj's are all different, then expand n = (2^a1 * 1 + ...)*1 + ... by removing the brackets and we get a partition into distinct parts. For the reverse operation, just keep splitting any even number into halves until no evens remain.

Euler transform of period 2 sequence [1,0,1,0,...]. - Michael Somos, Dec 16 2002

Number of different partial sums 1+[1,2]+[1,3]+[1,4]+..., where [1,x] indicates a choice. E.g., a(6)=4, as we can write 1+1+1+1+1+1, 1+2+3, 1+2+1+1+1, 1+1+3+1. - Jon Perry, Dec 31 2003

a(n) is the sum of the number of partitions of x_j into at most j parts, where j is the index for the j-th triangular number and n-T(j)=x_j. For example; a(12)=partitions into <= 4 parts of 12-T(4)=2 + partitions into <= 3 parts of 12-T(3)=6 + partitions into <= 2 parts of 12-T(2)=9 + partitions into 1 part of 12-T(1)=11 = (2)(11) + (6)(51)(42)(411)(33)(321)(222) + (9)(81)(72)(63)(54)+(11) = 2+7+5+1 = 15. - Jon Perry, Jan 13 2004

Number of partitions of n where if k is the largest part, all parts 1..k are present. - Jon Perry, Sep 21 2005

Jack Grahl and Franklin T. Adams-Watters prove this claim of Jon Perry's by observing that the Ferrers dual of a "gapless" partition is guaranteed to have distinct parts; since the Ferrers dual is an involution, this establishes a bijection between the two sets of partitions. - Allan C. Wechsler, Sep 28 2021

Number of symmetric unimodal compositions of n+1 where the maximal part appears once. Also number of symmetric unimodal compositions of n where the maximal part appears an odd number of times. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 11 2013

Because for these partitions the exponents of the parts 1, 2, ... are either 0 or 1 (j^0 meaning that part j is absent) one could call these partitions also 'fermionic partitions'. The parts are the levels, that is the positive integers, and the occupation number is either 0 or 1 (like Pauli's exclusion principle). The 'fermionic states' are denoted by these partitions of n. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 14 2014

The set of partitions containing only odd parts forms a monoid under the product described in comments to A047993. - Richard Locke Peterson, Aug 16 2018

Ewell (1973) gives a number of recurrences. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 14 2020

a(n) equals the number of permutations p of the set {1,2,...,n+1}, written in one line notation as p = p_1p_2...p_(n+1), satisfying p_(i+1) - p_i <= 1 for 1 <= i <= n, (i.e., those permutations that, when read from left to right, never increase by more than 1) whose major index maj(p) := Sum_{p_i > p_(i+1)} i equals n. For example, of the 16 permutations on 5 letters satisfying p_(i+1) - p_i <= 1, 1 <= i <= 4, there are exactly two permutations whose major index is 4, namely, 5 3 4 1 2 and 2 3 4 5 1. Hence a(4) = 2. See the Bala link in A007318 for a proof. - Peter Bala, Mar 30 2022

Conjecture: Each positive integer n can be written as a_1 + ... + a_k, where a_1,...,a_k are strict partition numbers (i.e., terms of the current sequence) with no one dividing another. This has been verified for n = 1..1350. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Apr 14 2023

Conjecture: For each integer n > 7, a(n) divides none of p(n), p(n) - 1 and p(n) + 1, where p(n) is the number of partitions of n given by A000041. This has been verified for n up to 10^5. - Zhi-Wei Sun, May 20 2023 [Verified for n <= 2*10^6. - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 23 2023]

The g.f. Product_{k >= 0} 1 + x^k = Product_{k >= 0} 1 - x^k + 2*x^k == Product_{k >= 0} 1 - x^k == Sum_{k in Z} (-1)^k*x^(k*(3*k-1)/2) (mod 2) by Euler's pentagonal number theorem. It follows that a(n) is odd iff n = k*(3*k - 1)/2 for some integer k, i.e., iff n is a generalized pentagonal number A001318. - Peter Bala, Jan 07 2025

Also the total number of all different integers in all partitions of n + 1. E.g., a(3) = 7 because the partitions of 4 comprise the sets {1},{1, 2},{2},{1, 3},{4} of different integers and their total number is 7. - Thomas Wieder, Apr 10 2004

With offset 1, also the number of 1's in all partitions of n. For example, 3 = 2+1 = 1+1+1, a(3) = (zero 1's) + (one 1's) + (three 1's), so a(3) = 4. - Naohiro Nomoto, Jan 09 2002. See the Riordan reference p. 184, last formula, first term, for a proof based on Fine's identity given in Riordan, p. 182 (20).

Also, number of partitions of n into parts when there are two kinds of parts of size one.

Also number of graphical forest partitions of 2n+2.

a(n) = count 2 for each partition of n and 1 for each decrement. E.g., the partitions of 4 are 4 (2), 31 (3), 22 (2), 211 (3) and 1111 (2). 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 12. This is related to the Ferrers representation. We can see that taking the Ferrers diagram for each partition of n and adding a new * to all available columns, we generate each partition of n+1, but with repeats (A058884). - Jon Perry, Feb 06 2004

Also the number of 1-transitions among all integer partitions of n. A 1-transition is the removal of a digit "1" from a partition containing at least one "1" and subsequent addition of that "1" to another digit in that partition. This other digit may be a "1" also, but all digits of equal amount are considered as undistinquishable (unlabeled). E.g., for n=6 one has the partition [1113] for which the following two 1-transitions are possible: [1113] --> [123] and [1113] --> [114]. The 1-transitions of n form a partial order (poset). For n=6 one has 12 1-transitions: [111111] --> [11112], [11112] --> [1113], [11112] --> [1122], [1113] --> [114], [1113] --> [123], [1122] --> [123], [1122] --> [222], [123] --> [33], [123] --> [24], [114] --> [15], [114] --> [24], [15] --> [6]. - Thomas Wieder, Mar 08 2005

Also number of partitions of 2n+1 where one of the parts is greater than n (also where there are more than n parts) and of 2n+2 where one of the parts is greater than n+1 (or with more than n+1 parts). - Henry Bottomley, Aug 01 2005

a(n) = if n <= 1 then A054225(1,n) else A054225(n,1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 30 2011

Also the total number of 1's among all hook-lengths in all partitions of n. E.g., a(4)=7 because hooks of the partitions of n = 4 comprise the multisets {4,3,2,1}, {4,2,1,1}, {3,2,2,1}, {4,1,2,1}, {4,3,2,1} and their total number of 1's is 7. - T. Amdeberhan, Jun 03 2012

With offset 1, a(n) is also the difference between the sum of largest and the sum of second largest elements in all partitions of n. More generally, the number of occurrences of k in all partitions of n equals the difference between the sum of k-th largest and the sum of (k+1)st largest elements in all partitions of n. And more generally, the sum of the number of occurrences of k, k+1, k+2..k+m in all partitions of n equals the difference between the sum of k-th largest and the sum of (k+m+1)st largest elements in all partitions of n. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 25 2012

a(0) = 1 and 2*a(n-1) >= a(n) for all n > 0. Hence a(n) is a complete sequence. - Frank M Jackson, Apr 08 2013

a(n) is the number of conjugacy classes in the order-preserving, order-decreasing and (order-preserving and order-decreasing) injective transformation semigroups. - Ugbene Ifeanyichukwu, Jun 03 2015

a(n) is also the number of unlabeled subgraphs of the n-cycle C_n. For example, for n = 3, there are 3 unlabeled subgraphs of the triangle C_3 with 0 edges, 2 with 1 edge, 1 with 2 edges, and 1 with 3 edges (C_3 itself), so a(3) = 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7. - John P. McSorley, Nov 21 2016

a(n) is also the number of partitions of 2n with all parts either even or equal to 1. Proof: the number of such partitions of 2n with exactly 2k 1's is p(n-k), for k = 0,..,n. Summing over k gives the formula. - Leonard Chastkofsky, Jul 24 2018

a(n) is the total number of polygamma functions that appear in the expansion of the (n+1)st derivative of x! with respect to x. More specifically, a(n) is the number of times the string "PolyGamma" appears in the expansion of D[x!, {x, n + 1}] in Mathematica. For example, D[x!, {x, 3 + 1}] = Gamma[1 + x] PolyGamma[0, 1 + x]^4 + 6 Gamma[1 + x] PolyGamma[0, 1 + x]^2 PolyGamma[1, 1 + x] + 3 Gamma[1 + x] PolyGamma[1, 1 + x]^2 + 4 Gamma[1 + x] PolyGamma[0, 1 + x] PolyGamma[2, 1 + x] + Gamma[1 + x] PolyGamma[3, 1 + x], and we see that the string "PolyGamma" appears a total of a(3) = 7 times in this expansion. - John M. Campbell, Aug 11 2018

With offset 1, also the number of integer partitions of 2n that do not comprise the multiset of vertex-degrees of any multigraph (i.e., non-multigraphical partitions); see A209816 for multigraphical partitions. - Gus Wiseman, Oct 26 2018

Also a(n) is the number of partitions of 2n+1 with exactly one odd part.

Delete the odd part 2k+1, k=0, ..., n, to get a partition of 2n-2k into even parts. There are as many unrestricted partitions of n-k; now sum those numbers from 0 to n to get a(n). - George Beck, Jul 22 2019

Coincides with the sequence of numbers of nilpotent conjugacy classes in the Lie algebras sp(n), n=0,1,2,3,... (the case n=0 being degenerate).

Alternatively, number of partitions of n into parts from the set {1,2,4,6,8,10,12,...}. - T. D. Noe, Aug 05 2005

Also, partial sums of A035363.

Also number of partitions of n with at most one part occurring an odd number of times. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 18 2013

The Heinz numbers of palindromic partitions are given by A265640. The Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k), giving a bijective correspondence between positive integers and integer partitions.

Also the number of integer partitions of n with a part greater than or equal to n/2. This is equivalent to Clark Kimberling's final comment above. The Heinz numbers of these partitions are given by A344414. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 12 partitions are:

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)

(11) (21) (22) (32) (33) (43) (44)

(31) (41) (42) (52) (53)

(211) (311) (51) (61) (62)

(321) (421) (71)

(411) (511) (422)

(3111) (4111) (431)

(521)

(611)

(4211)

(5111)

(41111)

Also the number of integer partitions of n with at least n/2 parts. The Heinz numbers of these partitions are given by A344296. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 12 partitions are:

(1) (2) (21) (22) (221) (222) (2221) (2222)

(11) (111) (31) (311) (321) (3211) (3221)

(211) (2111) (411) (4111) (3311)

(1111) (11111) (2211) (22111) (4211)

(3111) (31111) (5111)

(21111) (211111) (22211)

(111111) (1111111) (32111)

(221111)

(311111)

(2111111)

(11111111)

(End)

The partition (0) of n=0 is included. For n>0 no part 0 appears.

The first (k=0) column gives the number of partitions without odd parts, i.e., those with even parts only. See A035363.

Without the alternating zeros this becomes a triangle with columns given by the rows of the S_n(m) table shown in the Riordan reference.

From Gregory L. Simay, Oct 31 2015: (Start)

T(2n+k,k) = the number of partitions of n with parts 1..k of two kinds. If n<=k, then T(2n+k) = A000712(n), the number of partitions of n with parts of two kinds.

T(2n+k) = the convolution of A000041(n) and the number of partitions of n+k having exactly k parts.

T(2n+k) = d(n,k) where d(n,0) = p(n) and d(n,k) = d(n,k-1) + d(n-k,k-1) + d(n-2k,k-1) + ... (End)

From Emeric Deutsch, Oct 04 2016: (Start)

T(n,k) = number of partitions (p1 >= p2 >= p3 >= ...) of n having alternating sum p1 - p2 + p3 - ... = k. Example: T(5,3) = 2 because there are two partitions (3,1,1) and (4,1) of 5 with alternating sum 3.

The equidistribution of the partition statistics "alternating sum" and "total number of odd parts" follows by conjugation. (End)

Also number of partitions of 2*n with exactly 2 odd parts (offset 1). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jan 12 2005

Also number of transitions from one partition of n+2 to another, where a transition consists of replacing any two parts with their sum. Remove all 1' and 2' from the partition, replacing them with ((number of 2') + 1) and ((number of 1') + (number of 2') + 1); these are the two parts being summed. Number of partitions of n into parts of 2 kinds with at most 2 parts of the second kind, or of n+2 into parts of 2 kinds with exactly 2 parts of the second kind. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Mar 20 2006

a(n) is also the number of pairs of partitions of n+2 which differ by only one box (for bijection see the first Gutschwager link).

a(n) is also the number of partitions of n with two parts marked.

a(n) is also the number of partitions of n+1 with two different parts marked. (End)

Convolution of A000041 and A008619. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 18 2015

a(n) = P(/2,n), a particular case of P(/k,n) defined as follows: P(/0,n) = A000041(n) and P(/k,n) = P(/k-1, n) + P(/k-1,n-k) + P(/k-1, n-2k) + ... Also, P(/k,n) = the convolution of A000041 and the partitions of n with exactly k parts, and g.f. P(/k,n) = (g.f. for P(n)) * 1/(1-x)...(1-x^k). - Gregory L. Simay, Mar 22 2018

a(n) is also the sum of binomial(D(p),2) in partitions p of (n+3), where D(p)= number of different sizes of parts in p. - Emily Anible, Apr 03 2018

Also partitions of 2*(n+1) with alternating sum 2. Also partitions of 2*(n+1) with reverse-alternating sum -2 or 2. - Gus Wiseman, Jun 21 2021

Define the distance graph of the partitions of n using the distance function in A366156 as follows: two vertices (partitions) share an edge if and only if the distance between the vertices is 2. Then a(n) is the number of edges in the distance graph of the partitions of n. - Clark Kimberling, Oct 12 2023

Also the number of partitions of n in which all odd parts are distinct. There is no restriction on the even parts. E.g., a(9)=13 because "9 = 8+1 = 7+2 = 6+3 = 6+2+1 = 5+4 = 5+3+1 = 5+2+2 = 4+4+1 = 4+3+2 = 4+2+2+1 = 3+2+2+2 = 2+2+2+2+1". - Noureddine Chair, Feb 03 2005

Number of partitions of n in which each even part occurs with even multiplicity. There is no restriction on the odd parts.

Also the number of partitions of n into parts not congruent to 2 mod 4. - James Sellers, Feb 08 2002

Coincides with the sequence of numbers of nilpotent conjugacy classes in the Lie algebras o(n) of skew-symmetric n X n matrices, n=0,1,2,3,... (the cases n=0,1 being degenerate). This sequence, A015128 and A000041 together cover the nilpotent conjugacy classes in the classical A,B,C,D series of Lie algebras. - Alexander Elashvili, Sep 08 2003

Poincaré series [or Poincare series] (or Molien series) for symmetric invariants in F_2(b_1, b_2, ... b_n) ⊗ E(e_1, e_2, ... e_n) with b_i 2-dimensional, e_i one-dimensional and the permutation action of S_n, in the case n=2.

Equals polcoeff inverse of A010054 with alternate signs. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 15 2010

It appears that this sequence is related to the generalized hexagonal numbers (A000217) in the same way as the partition numbers A000041 are related to the generalized pentagonal numbers A001318. (See the table in comments section of A195825.) Conjecture: this is 1 together with the row sums of triangle A195836, also column 1 of A195836, also column 2 of the square array A195825. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 09 2011

Since this is also column 2 of A195825 so the sequence contains only one plateau [1, 1, 1] of level 1 and length 3. For more information see A210843. - Omar E. Pol, Jun 27 2012

Convolution of A035363 and A000700. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 17 2015

Also the number of ways to stack n triangles in a valley (pointing upwards or downwards depending on row parity). - Seiichi Manyama, Jul 07 2018
