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
The number of connected threshold graphs having n edges. - Michael D. Barrus (mbarrus2(AT)uiuc.edu), Jul 12 2007
Starting with offset 1 = row sums of triangle A146061 and the INVERT transform of A000700 starting: (1, 0, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -2, 2, -2, 2, -3, 3, -3, 4, -5, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 26 2008
Number of partitions of n in which the largest part occurs an odd number of times and all other parts occur an even number of times. (Such partitions are the duals of the partitions with odd parts.) - David Wasserman, Mar 04 2009
Equals A035363 convolved with A010054. The convolution square of A000009 = A022567 = A000041 convolved with A010054. A000041 = A000009 convolved with A035363. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 11 2009
Considering all partitions of n into distinct parts: there are A140207(n) partitions of maximal size which is A003056(n), and A051162(n) is the greatest number occurring in these partitions. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 13 2009
Equals left border of triangle A091602 starting with offset 1. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 13 2010
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

G.f. = q + q^25 + q^49 + 2*q^73 + 2*q^97 + 3*q^121 + 4*q^145 + 5*q^169 + ...

When convolved with the partition numbers A000041 gives 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
Also, number of different partitions of n into parts of -1 different kinds (based upon formal analogy). - Michele Dondi (blazar(AT)lcm.mi.infn.it), Jun 29 2004
The comment that "when convolved with the partition numbers gives [1, 0, 0, 0, ...]" is equivalent to row sums of triangle A145975 = [1, 0, 0, 0, ...]; where A145975 is a partition number convolution triangle. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 25 2008
When convolved with n-th partial sums of A000041 = the binomial sequence starting (1, n, ...). Example: A010815 convolved with A014160 (partial sum operation applied thrice to the partition numbers) = (1, 3, 6, 10, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 11 2008
(A000012^(-n) * A000041) convolved with A010815 = n-th row of the inverse of Pascal's triangle, (as a vector, followed by zeros); where A000012^(-1) = the pairwise difference operator. Example: (A000012^(-4) * A000041) convolved with A010815 = (1, -4, 6, -4, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 11 2008

Partial sums of A026741. - Jud McCranie; corrected by Omar E. Pol, Jul 05 2012
From R. K. Guy, Dec 28 2005: (Start)
"Conway's relation twixt the triangular and pentagonal numbers: Divide the triangular numbers by 3 (when you can exactly):
0 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 55 66 78 91 105 120 136 153 ...
0 - 1 2 .- .5 .7 .- 12 15 .- 22 26 .- .35 .40 .- ..51 ...
.....-.-.....+..+.....-..-.....+..+......-...-.......+....
"and you get the pentagonal numbers in pairs, one of positive rank and the other negative.
"Append signs according as the pair have the same (+) or opposite (-) parity.
"Then Euler's pentagonal number theorem is easy to remember:
"p(n-0) - p(n-1) - p(n-2) + p(n-5) + p(n-7) - p(n-12) - p(n-15) ++-- = 0^n
where p(n) is the partition function, the left side terminates before the argument becomes negative and 0^n = 1 if n = 0 and = 0 if n > 0.
"E.g. p(0) = 1, p(7) = p(7-1) + p(7-2) - p(7-5) - p(7-7) + 0^7 = 11 + 7 - 2 - 1 + 0 = 15."
(End)
The sequence may be used in order to compute sigma(n), as described in Euler's article. - Thomas Baruchel, Nov 19 2003
Number of levels in the partitions of n + 1 with parts in {1,2}.
a(n) is the number of 3 X 3 matrices (symmetrical about each diagonal) M = {{a, b, c}, {b, d, b}, {c, b, a}} such that a + b + c = b + d + b = n + 2, a,b,c,d natural numbers; example: a(3) = 5 because (a,b,c,d) = (2,2,1,1), (1,2,2,1), (1,1,3,3), (3,1,1,3), (2,1,2,3). - Philippe Deléham, Apr 11 2007
Also numbers a(n) such that 24*a(n) + 1 = (6*m - 1)^2 are odd squares: 1, 25, 49, 121, 169, 289, 361, ..., m = 0, +-1, +-2, ... . - Zak Seidov, Mar 08 2008

a(n) is the number of 3-tuples (w,x,y) having all terms in {0,...,n} and 2*w = 2*x + y. - Clark Kimberling, Jun 04 2012
Generalized k-gonal numbers are second k-gonal numbers and positive terms of k-gonal numbers interleaved, k >= 5. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 04 2012
a(n) is the sum of the largest parts of the partitions of n+1 into exactly 2 parts. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 26 2013
Conway's relation mentioned by R. K. Guy is a relation between triangular numbers and generalized pentagonal numbers, two sequences from different families, but as triangular numbers are also generalized hexagonal numbers in this case we have a relation between two sequences from the same family. - Omar E. Pol, Feb 01 2013
Start with the sequence of all 0's. Add n to each value of a(n) and the next n - 1 terms. The result is the generalized pentagonal numbers. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Nov 03 2014
(6k + 1) | a(4k). (3k + 1) | a(4k+1). (3k + 2) | a(4k+2). (6k + 5) | a(4k+3). - Jon Perry, Nov 04 2014
Enge, Hart and Johansson proved: "Every generalised pentagonal number c >= 5 is the sum of a smaller one and twice a smaller one, that is, there are generalised pentagonal numbers a, b < c such that c = 2a + b." (see link theorem 5). - Peter Luschny, Aug 26 2016
The Enge, et al. result for c >= 5 also holds for c >= 2 if 0 is included as a generalized pentagonal number. That is, 2 = 2*1 + 0. - Michael Somos, Jun 02 2018
Suggestion for title, where n actually matches the list and b-file: "Generalized pentagonal numbers: k(n)*(3*k(n) - 1)/2, where k(n) = A001057(n) = [0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, ...], n >= 0" - Daniel Forgues, Jun 09 2018 & Jun 12 2018
Generalized k-gonal numbers are the partial sums of the sequence formed by the multiples of (k - 4) and the odd numbers (A005408) interleaved, with k >= 5. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 25 2018
The last digits form a symmetric cycle of length 40 [0, 1, 2, 5, ..., 5, 2, 1, 0], i.e., a(n) == a(n + 40) (mod 10) and a(n) == a(40*k - n - 1) (mod 10), 40*k > n. - Alejandro J. Becerra Jr., Aug 14 2018
Only 2, 5, and 7 are prime. All terms are of the form k*(k+1)/6, where 3 | k or 3 | k+1. For k > 6, the value divisible by 3 must have another factor d > 2, which will remain after the division by 6. - Eric Snyder, Jun 03 2022
8*a(n) is the product of two even numbers one of which is n + n mod 2. - Peter Luschny, Jul 15 2022
a(n) is the dot product of [1, 2, 3, ..., n] and repeat[1, 1/2]. a(5) = 12 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] dot [1, 1/2, 1, 1/2, 1] = [1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 5]. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 10 2022

Euler transform of length-3 sequence [2, 2, -1]. - Michael Somos, Mar 24 2011
a(-1 - n) = a(n) for all n in Z. a(2*n) = A005449(n). a(2*n - 1) = A000326(n). - Michael Somos, Mar 24 2011. [The extension of the recurrence to negative indices satisfies the signature (1,2,-2,-1,1), but not the definition of the sequence m*(3*m -1)/2, because there is no m such that a(-1) = 0. - Klaus Purath, Jul 07 2021]
a(n) = 3 + 2*a(n-2) - a(n-4). - Ant King, Aug 23 2011

Also, numbers having an odd number of partitions into distinct odd parts; that is, numbers m such that A000700(m) is odd. For example, 16 is in the list since 16 has 5 partitions into distinct odd parts, namely, 1 + 15, 3 + 13, 5 + 11, 7 + 9 and 1 + 3 + 5 + 7. See Formula section for a proof. - Peter Bala, Jan 22 2017

Numbers that have an equal number of even- and odd-length unordered factorizations into distinct factors.
For prime p, by the pentagonal number theorem, p^k is a term if and only if k is in A090864.
For primes p and q, p*q^k is a term if and only if k = A000326(m)+N with 0 <= N < m. (End)
