Comments

Partitions are usually written with parts in descending order, but the conditions are easier to check "visually" if written in ascending order.

Partitions (p(1), p(2), ..., p(m)) such that p(k-1) - p(k-2) >= p(k) - p(k-1) for all k >= 3.

The differences of a sequence are defined as if the sequence were increasing, so for example the differences of (6,3,1) are (-3,-2). Then a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n whose differences are weakly decreasing. The Heinz numbers of these partitions are given by A325361. Of course, the number of such integer partitions of n is also the number of reversed integer partitions of n whose differences are weakly decreasing, which is the author's interpretation. - Gus Wiseman, May 03 2019

05: [4, 6]
06: [5, 5]
07: [1, 4, 5]
08: [2, 4, 4]
09: [1, 2, 3, 4]
10: [1, 3, 3, 3]
11: [2, 2, 2, 2, 2]
