%N A377285 Position of first 0 in the n-th differences of the strict partition numbers A000009, or 0 if 0 does not appear.
%C A377285 Open problem: Do the 9th differences of the strict integer partition numbers contain a zero? If so, we must have a(9) > 10^5.
%C A377285 a(12) = 47. Conjecture: a(n) = 0 for n > 12. - _Chai Wah Wu_, Dec 15 2024
%e A377285 The 7th differences of A000009 are: 25, -16, 7, -6, 10, -9, 0, 10, ... so a(7) = 7.
