The adjusted frequency depth of an integer partition is 0 if the partition is empty, and otherwise it is one plus the number of times one must take the multiset of multiplicities to reach a singleton. For example, the partition (32211) has adjusted frequency depth 5 because we have: (32211) -> (221) -> (21) -> (11) -> (2).

The term "frequency depth" appears to have been coined by Clark Kimberling in A225485 and A225486, and can be applied to both integers (A323014) and integer partitions (this sequence).

Let S = {x(1),...,x(k)} be a multiset whose distinct elements are y(1),...,y(h). Let f(i) be the frequency of y(i) in S. Define F(S) = {f(1),..,f(h)}, F(1,S) = F(S), and F(m,S) = F(F(m-1),S) for m>1. Then lim(F(m,S)) = {1} for every S, so that there is a least positive integer i for which F(i,S) = {1}, which we call the frequency depth of S.

Equivalently, the frequency depth of an integer partition is the number of times one must take the multiset of multiplicities to reach (1). For example, the partition (32211) has frequency depth 5 because we have: (32211) -> (221) -> (21) -> (11) -> (2) -> (1). - Gus Wiseman, Apr 19 2019

Below, m^n abbreviates the sum m+...+m of n terms. In the following list, the numbers p_1,...,p_k are distinct, m >= 1, and k >= 1. The forms of the partitions being counted are as follows:

column 1: [n],

column 2: [m^k],

column 3: [p_1^m,...,p_k^m],

column 4: [(p_1^m_1)^m,..., (p_k^m_k)^m], distinct numbers m_i.

Column 3 is of special interest. Assume first that m = 1, so that the form of partition being counted is p = [p_1,...,p_k], with conjugate given by [q_1,...,q_m] where q_i is the number of parts of p that are >= i. Since the p_i are distinct, the distinct parts of q are the integers 1,2,...,k. For the general case that m >= 1, the distinct parts of q are the integers m,...,km. Let S(n) denote the set of partitions of n counted by column 3. Then if a and b are in the set S*(n) of conjugates of partitions in S(n), and if a > b, then a - b is also in S*(n). Call this the subtraction property. Conversely, if a partition q has the subtraction property, then q must consist of a set of numbers m,..,km for some m. Thus, column 3 counts the partitions of n that have the subtraction property. (End)

The adjusted frequency depth of an integer partition is 0 if the partition is empty, and otherwise it is one plus the number of times one must take the multiset of multiplicities to reach a singleton. For example, the partition (32211) has adjusted frequency depth 5 because we have: (32211) -> (221) -> (21) -> (11) -> (2).

Run lengths are A325258, i.e., first differences of Levine's sequence A011784 (except at n = 1).

The adjusted frequency depth of an integer partition (A325280) is 0 if the partition is empty, and otherwise it is 1 plus the number of times one must take the multiset of multiplicities to reach a singleton.

For example, the partition (44111) has two multiplicities (2 and 3) which differ by 1, so is counted under a(11).
