Comments

Each partition of n, ordered as in Abramowitz-Stegun (A-St order; for the reference see A134278), is mapped to a nonnegative integer a(n,k) =: M31(-4;n,k) with the k-th partition of n in A-St order.

The sequence of row lengths is A000041 (partition numbers) [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22, 30, 42, ...].

First member (K=4) in the family M31(-K) of partition number arrays.

If M31(-4;n,k) is summed over those k with fixed number of parts m one obtains the unsigned triangle S1(-4) := A049424.

Examples

			[1]; [4,1]; [12,12,1]; [24,48,48,24,1]; [24,120,480,120,240,40,1]; ...
a(4,3) = 48 = 3*S1(-4;2,1)^2. The relevant partition of 4 is (2^2).

Formula

a(n,k)=(n!/product(e(n,k,j)!*j!^(e(n,k,j),j=1..n))*product(S1(-4;j,1)^e(n,k,j),j=1..n) = M3(n,k)*product(S1(-4;j,1)^e(n,k,j),j=1..n) with S1(-4;n,1)= A008279(4,n-1)= [1,4,12,12,24,24,0,...], n>=1 and the exponent e(n,k,j) of j in the k-th partition of n in the A-St ordering of the partitions of n. M3(n,k)=A036040.
