Comments

For a partition p, let l(p) = largest part of p, w(p) = number of 1's in p, m(p) = number of parts of p larger than w(p). The crank of p is given by l(p) if w(p) = 0, otherwise m(p)-w(p).

Examples

			a(10)=4 because there are 4 partitions of 10 with zero crank: 1+1+2+3+3, 1+1+4+4, 1+1+3+5 and 1+9.

Formula

a(n) = A000041(n) - 2*A001522(n). a(n) = A064391(n, 0).

a(n) ~ exp(Pi*sqrt(2*n/3)) * Pi / (3 * 2^(9/2) * n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 06 2018

a(n > 1) = A064428(n) - A001522(n), where A001522/A064428 count odd/even-length compositions with alternating parts strictly decreasing. - Gus Wiseman, Apr 02 2021

From Peter Bala, Feb 03 2024: (Start)

For n >= 2, a(n) = A188674(n+1) - A188674(n) (Hopkins and Sellers, Proposition 7).

Equivalently, the g.f. A(x) = (1 - x) * Sum_{n >= 1} x^(n*(n+2)) / Product{k = 1..n} (1 - x^k)^2. (End)
