Number of partitions of n in which greatest part is odd.

Number of partitions of n+1 into an even number of parts, the least being 1. Example: a(5)=4 because we have [5,1], [3,1,1,1], [2,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1,1].

Also number of partitions of n+1 such that the largest part is even and occurs only once. Example: a(5)=4 because we have [6], [4,2], [4,1,1] and [2,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 05 2006

Also the number of partitions of n such that the number of odd parts and the number of even parts have opposite parities. Example: a(8)=10 is a count of these partitions: 8, 611, 521, 431, 422, 41111, 332, 32111, 22211, 2111111. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 01 2014, corrected Jan 06 2021

In Chaves 2011 see page 38 equation (3.20). - Michael Somos, Dec 28 2014

Suppose that c(0) = 1, that c(1), c(2), ... are indeterminates, that d(0) = 1, and that d(n) = -c(n) - c(n-1)*d(1) - ... - c(0)*d(n-1). When d(n) is expanded as a polynomial in c(1), c(2),..,c(n), the terms are of the form H*c(i_1)*c(i_2)*...*c(i_k). Let P(n) = [c(i_1), c(i_2), ..., c(i_k)], a partition of n. Then H is negative if P has an odd number of parts, and H is positive if P has an even number of parts. That is, d(n) has A027193(n) negative coefficients, A027187(n) positive coefficients, and A000041 terms. The maximal coefficient in d(n), in absolute value, is A102462(n). - Clark Kimberling, Dec 15 2016

The partitions of n are partitioned into four types:

EO, even # of odd parts and odd # of even parts, A236559;

Also number of cycle types of odd permutations.

Also number of partitions of n with an odd number of even parts. There is no restriction on the odd parts. - N. Sato, Jul 20 2005. E.g., a(6)=5 because we have [6],[4,1,1],[3,2,1],[2,2,2] and [2,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 02 2006

Also number of partitions of n with largest part not congruent to n modulo 2: a(2*n)=A027193(2*n), a(2*n+1)=A027187(2*n+1); a(n)=A000041(n)-A046682(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 22 2006

Also the number of integer partitions of n with Heinz number greater than that of their conjugate, where the Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k). These partitions are ranked by A352490. The complement is counted by A046682. For example, the a(n) partitions for n = 2...8 are:

(11) (111) (211) (221) (222) (331) (2222)

(1111) (2111) (2211) (2221) (3221)

The bisection {1,1,2,3,5,7,11,15,22,...} agrees with the initial terms of A008641, Number of partitions of n into at most 12 parts and also A008635, Molien series for A_12.

a(2n+1)=a(2n) for all n>0. If the partition {...,1} is a member of a(2n) then the partition {...,1,1} is a member of a(2n+1). - Robert G. Wilson v, Jun 09 2006

Number of partitions of n where all parts (except for possibly the first part) are even; see example. - Joerg Arndt, Apr 22 2013

For n >= 2, a(n) = number of partitions p of n such that floor(n/2) is a part of p. For n >= 1, a(n) = number of partitions p of n such that ceiling(n/2) is a part of p. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 28 2014

If we insert zeros every three terms, this counts partitions of n such that n = floor(3*k/2), where k is the number of parts. This counts by sum rather than length. These partitions are ranked by A347452.

Also the number of integer partitions of n with alternating product 1, where the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)). These are the conjugates of the partitions (ranked by A336119) described in Arndt's comment above. For example, the a(2) = 1 through a(10) = 7 partitions are:

11 111 22 221 33 331 44 441 55

1111 11111 2211 22111 2222 22221 3322

111111 1111111 3311 33111 4411

221111 2211111 222211

11111111 111111111 331111

22111111

1111111111

These partitions are ranked by A028982. The odd-length case is A035363 (shifted), which is also the version for sum instead of product. The multiplicative version (factorizations) is A347438.

The partitions of n are partitioned into four types:

EO, even # of odd parts and odd # of even parts, A236559;

OE, odd # of odd parts and even # of even parts, A160786;

EE, even # of odd parts and even # of even parts, A236913;

OO, odd # of odd parts and odd # of even parts, A236914.

A236559 and A160786 are the bisections of A027193;

A236913 and A236914 are the bisections of A027187.

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i.

Also the number of reversed of integer partitions of n with alternating sum < 0.

No integer partitions have alternating sum < 0, so the non-reversed version is all zeros.

Is this sequence weakly increasing? Note: a(2n + 2) = A236914(n), a(2n) = A344743(n).

A formula for the reverse-alternating sum of a partition is: (-1)^(k-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where k is the number of parts. So a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n of even length whose conjugate parts are not all odd. Partitions of the latter type are counted by A086543. By conjugation, a(n) is also the number of integer partitions of n of even maximum whose parts are not all odd.

It seems that these are partitions of odd length and sum, ranked by A340931. The parts do not have to be odd. - Gus Wiseman, Apr 06 2021
