%N A277230 Irregular triangular array T(n, k) giving in row n the base of the Ferrers diagram of the k-th partition of n into distinct parts. The partitions of n are taken in Abramowitz-Stegun order but with decreasing parts. T(n, k) is the smallest part of the k-th partition of n into distinct parts.
%C A277230 The length of row n of this irregular triangular array is A000009(n).
%C A277230 For the Abramowitz-Stegun order of partitions see an Apr 04 2011 comment on A036036.
%C A277230 The sum of the numbers of row n is A092265(n).
%C A277230 See the Hardy (H) and Hardy-Wright (H-W) references, where the base is called beta. The companion array is A277231 giving the slopes (called sigma) of these partitions with distinct parts. These beta and sigma numbers play a role in an elementary proof of Euler's pentagonal-number theorem (pp. 284-287 in (H-W), and pp. 83-85 in (H)) by F. Franklin from 1881. See also MacMahon and Charalambides.
%C A277230 The base of the Ferrers diagram of the k-th partition of n into distinct parts (in the mentioned order) is the number of nodes in the last row, the smallest part of the partition.
%C A277230 The slope of such a partition is the number of nodes on the NE-SW diagonal through the last node of the first row of the Ferrers diagram. (The name may be misleading. The usual slope of the NE-SW diagonal is of course 1).
%C A277230 The number of parts m of these partitions is from m = 1, 2, ..., A003056(n).

%F A277230 T(n, k) is the smallest part of the k-th partition of n into distinct parts. n >=1. k=1, 2, ..., A000009(n). Partitions appear in Abramowitz-Stegun order.
