Equivalently, number of Abelian groups with n conjugacy classes. - Michael Somos, Aug 10 2010

a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24 = 2^3*3 and 375 = 3*5^3 both have prime signature (3, 1).

Also number of rings with n elements that are the direct product of fields; these are the commutative rings with n elements having no nilpotents; likewise the commutative rings where for every element x there is a k > 0 such that x^(k+1) = x. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 20 2006

Range is A033637.

a(n) = 1 if and only if n is from A005117 (squarefree numbers). See the Ahmed Fares comment there, and the formula for n>=2 below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 09 2012

Also, from a theorem of Molnár (see [Molnár]), the number of (non-isomorphic) abelian groups of order 2*n + 1 is equal to the number of non-congruent lattice Z-tilings of R^n by crosses, where a "cross" is a unit cube in R^n for which at each facet is attached another unit cube (Z, R are the integers and reals, respectively). (Cf. [Horak].) - L. Edson Jeffery, Nov 29 2012

Zeta(k*s) is the Dirichlet generating function of the characteristic function of numbers which are k-th powers (k=1 in A000012, k=2 in A010052, k=3 in A010057, see arXiv:1106.4038 Section 3.1). The infinite product over k (here) is the number of representations n=product_i (b_i)^(e_i) where all exponents e_i are distinct and >=1. Examples: a(n=4)=2: 4^1 = 2^2. a(n=8)=3: 8^1 = 2^1*2^2 = 2^3. a(n=9)=2: 9^1 = 3^2. a(n=12)=2: 12^1 = 3*2^2. a(n=16)=5: 16^1 = 2*2^3 = 4^2 = 2^2*4^1 = 2^4. If the e_i are the set {1,2} we get A046951, the number of representations as a product of a number and a square. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 05 2016

See A060689 for the number of non-abelian groups of order n. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 24 2017

Kendall & Rankin prove that the density of {n: a(n) = m} exists for each m. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 14 2024

Jordan matrices are upper bidiagonal matrices such that (A) the diagonal entries are in sorted order, (B) there are only 1's and 0's on the superdiagonal, (C) for each superdiagonal 1, the two diagonal entries to the left and below it must be equal. Let J(N) be the number of N X N Jordan matrices where the diagonal values are, without loss of generality, taken to be a prefix of some fixed strictly increasing sequence x_1, x_2, x_3, ... If Jordan blocks sorted by eigenvalue with ties broken by block size during the sorting, then J(1, 2, 3, ...) is this sequence. - Warren D. Smith, Jan 28 2002

Number of compositions of n into parts k >= 1 where there are A000041(k) sorts of part k. - Joerg Arndt, Sep 30 2012

Also number of chains of multisets that partition a normal multiset of weight n, where a multiset is normal if it spans an initial interval of positive integers. - Gus Wiseman, Oct 28 2015

From Gus Wiseman, Jul 31 2022: (Start)

Also the number of ways to choose a multiset partition into constant multisets of a multiset of length n covering an initial interval of positive integers. This interpretation involves only multisets, not sequences. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(3) = 8 multiset partitions are:

{{1}} {{1,1}} {{1,1,1}}

{{1},{1}} {{1},{1,1}}

{{1},{2}} {{1},{2,2}}

{{2},{1,1}}

{{1},{1},{1}}

{{1},{1},{2}}

{{1},{2},{2}}

{{1},{2},{3}}

Factorizations into prime powers, are counted by A000688.

The strongly normal case is A063834.

The strongly normal strict case is A270995.

Twice-partitions of type PPR are counted by A279784, factorizations A295935.

The strict case is A304969.

First differs from A357982 at a(25) = 3, A357982(25) = 4.

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798.

A multiset partition can be regarded as an arrow in the ranked poset of integer partitions. For example, we have {{1},{1,2},{1,3},{1,2,3}}: {1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3} -> {1,3,4,6}, or (33221111) -> (6431) (depending on notation).

Set multipartitions are generally not transitive. For example, we have arrows: {{1},{1,2}}: {1,1,2} -> {1,3} and {{1,3}}: {1,3} -> {4}, but there is no set multipartition {1,1,2} -> {4}.

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798.

Also numbers that cannot be written as a product of prime powers > 1 with distinct sums of prime indices (A056239).

Contains no squarefree numbers.

Conjecture: These are the zeros of A382876.

First differs from A381716 at a(1728) = 5, A381716(1728) = 4.

Also the number of factorizations on n into prime powers > 1 with distinct sums of prime indices (A056239).

The Look-and-Say partition of a multiset or partition y is obtained by interchanging parts with multiplicities. Hence, the multiplicity of k in the Look-and-Say partition of y is the sum of all parts that appear exactly k times. For example, starting with (3,2,2,1,1) we get (2,2,2,1,1,1), the multiset union of ((1,1,1),(2,2),(2)).

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798, sum A056239.

Also the number of ways to choose a set of disjoint strict integer partitions, one of each nonzero multiplicity in the prime factorization of n.

First differs from A050326 at a(210) = 13, A050326(210) = 15. This comes from the set systems {{3},{1,2,4}} and {{1,2},{3,4}}, and from {{4},{1,2,3}} and {{1,3},{2,4}}.

Also the number of multisets that can be obtained by taking the sums of prime indices of each factor in a strict factorization of n into squarefree numbers > 1.

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798.

A multiset partition can be regarded as an arrow in the ranked poset of integer partitions. For example, we have {{1},{1,2},{1,3},{1,2,3}}: {1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3} -> {1,3,4,6}, or (33221111) -> (6431) (depending on notation).

Sets of sets are generally not transitive. For example, we have arrows: {{1},{1,2}}: {1,1,2} -> {1,3} and {{1,3}}: {1,3} -> {4}, but there is no set of sets {1,1,2} -> {4}.

First differs from A381635 at a(1728) = 4, A381635(1728) = 5.

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798.

Conjecture: Also the number of integer partitions of n having no permutation with all distinct run-sums, ranked by zeros of A382876. In other words, a partition has a permutation with all distinct run-sums iff it has a multiset partition into constant blocks with all distinct block-sums, where the run-sums of a sequence are obtained by splitting it into maximal runs and taking their sums.

Length of row n equals A056170(n) if A056170(n) is positive, or 1 if A056170(n) = 0.

The multiset of exponents >=2 in the prime factorization of n completely determines a(n) for over 20 sequences in the database (see crossreferences). It also determines the fractions A034444(n)/A000005(n) and A037445(n)/A000005(n).

For squarefree numbers, this multiset is { } (the empty multiset). The use of 0 in the table to represent each n with no exponents >=2 in its prime factorization accords with the usual OEIS practice of using 0 to represent nonexistent elements when possible. In comments, the second signature of squarefree numbers will be represented as { }.

For each second signature {S}, there exist values of j and k such that, if the second signature of n is {S}, then A085082(n) is congruent to j modulo k. These values are nontrivial unless {S} = { }. Analogous (but not necessarily identical) values of j and k also exist for each second signature with respect to A088873 and A181796.

Each sequence of integers with a given second signature {S} has a positive density, unlike the analogous sequences for prime signatures. The highest of these densities is 6/Pi^2 = 0.607927... for A005117 ({S} = { }).
