Comments

The bijective encoding of nonordered partitions via compositions (ordered partitions) present in the binary expansion of n is explained in A227184.

It appears that a(4n+2) = a(2n+1). - Ralf Stephan, Jul 20 2013

Examples

			12 has binary expansion "1100", for which the lengths of runs (consecutive blocks of 0- or 1-bits) are [2,2]. Converting this to a partition in the manner explained in A227184 gives the partition {2+3}. Its largest part is 3, thus a(12)=3, which is actually the first time when this sequence differs from A043276.

Crossrefs

For all n, A005811(n) = a(A129594(n)). Cf. also A136480 (for n>= 1, gives the smallest part) and A227183, A227184, A226062, A092339, A227147.

a(n) gives the rightmost nonzero term on the n-th row of A227189.

Scheme

(define (A227185 n) (if (zero? n) n (+ 1 (- (A029837 (+ 1 n)) (A005811 n)))))
(define (A227185v2 n) (if (zero? n) n (car (reverse (binexp_to_ascpart n))))) ;; Alternative definition, using the auxiliary functions given in A227184.

Formula

Defining formula:

a(0)=0; and for n>=1, a(n) = A029837(n+1) - (A005811(n)-1). [Because the largest part in the unordered partition in this encoding scheme is computed as (c_1 + (c_2-1) + (c_3-1) + ... + (c_k-1)) where c_1 .. c_k are the parts of the k-part composition that sum together as c_1 + c_2 + ... + c_k = A029837(n+1) (the binary width of n), so we subtract from the total binary width of n the number of runs (A005811) minus 1.]

Equivalently: a(n) = A092339(n)+1 for n>0.

a(n) = A005811(A129594(n)). [This just states the fact that when conjugating a partition, the largest part of an old partition will be the number of the parts in the new, conjugated partition.]
