From _Omar E. Pol_, Nov 30 2020: (Start)
For n = 9 there are three odd divisors of 9; they are [1, 3, 9]. On the other hand there are three partitions of 9 into consecutive parts: they are [9], [5, 4] and [4, 3, 2], so a(9) = 3.

By counting the odd divisors f n in different ways, we get three different ways of writing the ordinary generating function.  It is:
A(x) =  x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + x^4 + 2*x^5 + 2*x^6 + 2*x^7 + x^8 + 3*x^9 + 2*x^10 + ...

Note that in the below diagram the number of horizontal line segments in the n-th row equals A001227(n), the number of partitions of n into consecutive parts, so we can find the partitions of n into consecutive parts as follows: consider the vertical blocks of numbers that start exactly in the n-th row of the diagram, for example: for n = 15 consider the vertical blocks of numbers that start exactly in the 15th row. They are [15], [8, 7], [6, 5, 4] and [5, 4, 3, 2, 1], equaling the 15th row of the above triangle.

n is the sum of at most a(n) consecutive positive integers. As suggested by David W. Wilson, Aug 15 2005: Suppose n is to be written as sum of k consecutive integers starting with m, then 2n = k(2m + k - 1). Only one of the factors is odd. For each odd divisor d of n there is a unique corresponding k = min(d,2n/d). a(n) is the largest among those k. - Jaap Spies, Aug 16 2005
The numbers that can be written as a sum of k consecutive positive integers are those in column k of A141419 (as a triangle). - Peter Munn, Mar 01 2019
The numbers that cannot be written as a sum of two or more consecutive positive integers are the powers of 2. So a(n) = 1 iff n = 2^k for k >= 0. - Bernard Schott, Mar 03 2019

			Examples provided by _Rainer Rosenthal_, Apr 01 2008:
1 = 1     ---> a(1) = 1
2 = 2     ---> a(2) = 1
3 = 1+2   ---> a(3) = 2
4 = 4     ---> a(4) = 1
5 = 2+3   ---> a(5) = 2
6 = 1+2+3 ---> a(6) = 3
a(15) = 5: 15 = 15 (k=1), 15 = 7+8 (k=2), 15 = 4+5+6 (k=3) and 15 = 1+2+3+4+5 (k=5). - _Jaap Spies_, Aug 16 2005

For n = 9 there are three partitions of 9 into consecutive parts, they are [9], [5, 4], [4, 3, 2], so the 9th row of triangle is [2, 3, 4], [4, 5], [9].
Note that in the below diagram the number of horizontal line segments in the n-th row equals A001227(n), the number of partitions of n into consecutive parts, so we can find the partitions of n into consecutive parts as follows: consider the vertical blocks of numbers that start exactly in the n-th row of the diagram, for example: for n = 15 consider the vertical blocks of numbers that start exactly in the 15th row. They are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8], [15], equaling the 15th row of the above triangle.

n = A000217(a(n)) - A000217(a(n) - A109814(n)).
Conjecture: n appears in row a(n) of A209260.
From Daniel Forgues, Jan 06 2016: (Start)
n = Sum_{i=k+1..M} i = T(M) - T(k) = (M-k)*(M+k+1)/2.
n = 2^m, m >= 0, iff M = n = 2^m and k = n - 1 = 2^m - 1. (Points on line with slope 1.) (Powers of 2 can't be the sum of consecutive numbers.)
n is odd prime iff k = M-2. Thus M = (n+1)/2 when n is odd prime. (Points on line with slope 1/2.) (Odd primes can't be the sum of more than 2 consecutive numbers.) (End)
If n = 2^m*p where p is an odd prime, then a(n) = 2^m + (p-1)/2. - Robert Israel, Jan 14 2016
This also expresses the following geometry: along a circle having (n) points on its circumference, a(n) expresses the minimum number of hops from a start point, in a given direction (CW or CCW), when each hop is increased by one, before returning to a visited point. For example, on a clock (n=12), starting at 12 (same as zero), the hops would lead to the points 1, 3, 6, 10 and then 3, which was already visited: 5 hops altogether, so a(12) = 5. - Joseph Rozhenko, Dec 25 2023
Conjecture: a(n) is the smallest of the largest parts of the partitions of n into consecutive parts. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 07 2025

			For n = 63, we have D(63) = {1,3,7,9,21,63}, B_63 = {11,12,13,22,32,63} and a(63) = min(11,12,13,22,32,63) = 11. Since A109814(63) = 9, T(11) - T(11-9) = T(11) - T(2) = 66 - 3 = 63.
