For n = 4 the table shows both the compositions and the partitions of 4. There are three compositions of 4 that are not partitions of 4. ---------------------------------------------------- Compositions Partitions Number of parts ---------------------------------------------------- [1, 1, 1, 1] = [1, 1, 1, 1] [2, 1, 1] = [2, 1, 1] [1, 2, 1] 3 [3, 1] = [3, 1] [1, 1, 2] 3 [2, 2] = [2, 2] [1, 3] 2 [4] = [4] ---------------------------------------------------- Total 8 . A partition of a positive integer n is any nonincreasing sequence of positive integers which sum to n, ence the compositions of 4 that are not partitions of 4 are [1, 2, 1], [1, 1, 2] and [1, 3]. The total number of parts of these compositions is 3 + 3 + 2 = 8. On the other hand the total number of parts in all compositions of 4 is A001792(4-1) = 20, and the total number of parts in all partitions of 4 is A006128(4) = 12, so a(4) = 20 - 12 = 8.
