This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Also number of partitions of n with positive crank (n>=2), cf. A064391. - Vladeta Jovovic, Sep 30 2001
Number of smooth weakly unimodal compositions of n into positive parts such that the first and last part are 1 (smooth means that successive parts differ by at most one), see example. Dropping the requirement for unimodality gives A186085. - Joerg Arndt, Dec 09 2012
Number of weakly unimodal compositions of n where the maximal part m appears at least m times, see example. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 11 2013
Also weakly unimodal compositions of n with first part 1, maximal up-step 1, and no consecutive up-steps; see example. The smooth weakly unimodal compositions are recovered by shifting all rows above the bottom row to the left by one position with respect to the next lower row. - Joerg Arndt, Mar 30 2014
It would seem from Stanley that he regards a(0)=0 for this sequence and A001523. - Michael Somos, Feb 22 2015
From Gus Wiseman, Mar 30 2021: (Start)
Also the number of odd-length compositions of n with alternating parts strictly decreasing. These are finite odd-length sequences q of positive integers summing to n such that q(i) > q(i+2) for all possible i. The even-length version is A064428. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(9) = 14 compositions are:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)
(211) (221) (231) (241) (251) (261)
(311) (312) (322) (332) (342)
(321) (331) (341) (351)
(411) (412) (413) (423)

In the Ferrers diagram of a partition x of n, count the dots in each diagonal parallel to the main diagonal (starting at the top-right, say). The result diag(x) is a smooth weakly unimodal composition of n into positive parts such that the first and last part are 1. For example, diag(5541) = 11233221. The function diag is many-to-one; the size of its codomain as a set is a(n). If diag(x) = diag(y), each hook of x can be slid by the same amount past the main diagonal to get y. For example, diag(5541) = diag(44331). - George Beck, Sep 26 2021

Conjecture: Also the number of integer partitions y of n with a fixed point y(i) = i. These partitions are ranked by A352827. The conjecture is stated at A238395, but Resta tells me he may not have had a proof. The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 10 partitions are:
(1) (11) (111) (22) (32) (42) (52) (62)
(1111) (221) (222) (322) (422)
(11111) (321) (421) (521)
(2211) (2221) (2222)
(111111) (3211) (3221)
(22111) (4211)
(1111111) (22211)
(32111)
(221111)
(11111111)
Note that these are not the same partitions (compare A352827 to A352874), only the same count (apparently).
(End)
The above conjecture is true. See Section 4 of the Blecher-Knopfmacher paper in the Links section. - Jeremy Lovejoy, Sep 26 2022

For a partition p, let l(p) = largest part of p, w(p) = number of 1's in p, m(p) = number of parts of p larger than w(p). The crank of p is given by l(p) if w(p) = 0, otherwise m(p)-w(p).

Number of permutations p of {1,2,...,n} such that p(k)-k takes exactly two distinct values. Example: a(4)=4 because we have 4123, 3412, 2143 and 2341. - Max Alekseyev and Emeric Deutsch, Dec 22 2006
Number of solutions to the Diophantine equation xy + yz = n, with x,y,z >= 1.
In other words, number of ways to write n = (a + b) * k for positive integers a, b, k. - Gus Wiseman, Mar 25 2021
Not the same as A184396(n): a(66) = 136 while A184396(66) = 137. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 26 2013
From Gus Wiseman, Mar 25 2021: (Start)
Also the number of compositions of n into an even number of parts with alternating parts equal. These are finite even-length sequences q of positive integers summing to n such that q(i) = q(i+2) for all possible i. For example, the a(2) = 1 through a(8) = 11 compositions are:
(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (1,7)
(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)
(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5)
(1,1,1,1) (4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4)
(5,1) (5,2) (5,3)
(1,2,1,2) (6,1) (6,2)
(2,1,2,1) (7,1)
(1,1,1,1,1,1) (1,3,1,3)
(2,2,2,2)
(3,1,3,1)
(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
The odd-length version is A062968.
The version with alternating parts weakly decreasing is A114921, or A342528 if odd-length compositions are included.
The version with alternating parts unequal is A342532, or A224958 if odd-length compositions are included (unordered: A339404/A000726).
Allowing odd lengths as well as even gives A342527.

a(n) is also the number of 2-colored partitions of n with the same number of parts in each color. - Shishuo Fu, May 30 2017

Also the number of even-length compositions of n with alternating parts weakly decreasing. Allowing odd lengths also gives A342528. The version with alternating parts strictly decreasing appears to be A064428. The a(2) = 1 through a(7) = 16 compositions are:
