Number of partitions of n into odd parts such that if a number occurs as a part then so do all smaller positive odd numbers.

Number of ways to express n as a partial sum of 1 + [1,3] + [1,5] + [1,7] + [1,9] + .... E.g., a(6)=2 because we have 6 = 1+1+1+1+1+1 = 1+3+1+1. - Jon Perry, Jan 01 2004

Also number of partitions of n such that the largest part occurs exactly once and all the other parts occur exactly twice. Example: a(9)=4 because we have [9], [7,1,1], [5,2,2] and [3,2,2,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 08 2006

Number of partitions (d1,d2,...,dm) of n such that 0 < d1/1 < d2/2 < ... < dm/m. - Seiichi Manyama, Mar 17 2018

For Emeric Deutsch's comment above, (1) this appears to be an alternately equal case of A122130, (2) the ordered version (compositions) is A239327, (3) allowing any length gives A351006, (4) the even-length version is A351007. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 25 2022

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i.

Also the number of reversed integer partitions of n with alternating sum >= 0.

A formula for the reverse-alternating sum of a partition is: (-1)^(k-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where k is the number of parts. So a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n whose conjugate parts are all even or whose length is odd. By conjugation, this is also the number of integer partitions of n whose parts are all even or whose greatest part is odd.

All integer partitions have alternating sum >= 0, so the non-reversed version is A000041.

Is this sequence weakly increasing? In particular, is A344611(n) <= A160786(n)?

The trivariate g.f. with x marking weight (i.e., sum of the parts), t marking number of odd parts and s marking number of even parts, is 1/product((1-tx^(2j-1))(1-sx^(2j)), j=1..infinity). - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 30 2006

Normally sequences like this are not included, since with the alternating 0's deleted it is already in the database.

This sequence occurs in the length L(n) = sqrt(2)^n of Lévy's C-curve at the n-th iteration step. Therefore, L(n) is the Q(sqrt(2)) integer a(n) + a(n-1)*sqrt(2), with a(-1) = 0. For a variant of this C-curve see A251732 and A251733. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 08 2014

a(n) counts walks (closed) on the graph G(1-vertex,2-loop,2-loop). Equivalently the middle entry (2,2) of A^n where the adjacency matrix of digraph is A=(0,1,0;1,0,1;0,1,0). - David Neil McGrath, Dec 19 2014

a(n-2) is the number of compositions of n into even parts. For example, there are 4 compositions of 6 into even parts: (6), (222), (42), and (24). - David Neil McGrath, Dec 19 2014

Also the number of alternately constant compositions of n + 2, ranked by A351010. The alternately strict version gives A000213. The unordered version is A035363, ranked by A000290, strict A035457. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 19 2022

a(n) counts degree n fixed points of GF(2)[x]'s automorphisms. Proof: given a field k, k[x]'s automorphisms are determined by k's automorphisms and invertible affine maps x -> ax + b. GF(2) is rigid and has only one unit so its only nontrivial automorphism is x -> x + 1. For n = 0 we have 1 fixed point, the constant polynomial 1. (Taking the convention that 0 is not a degree 0 polynomial.) For n = 1 we have 0 fixed points as x -> x + 1 -> x are the only degree 1 polynomials. Note that if f(x) is a fixed point, then f(x) + 1 is also a fixed point. Given f(x) a degree n fixed point, we can assume WLOG x | f(x). Applying the automorphism, we then have x + 1 | f(x). Now note that f(x) / (x^2 + x) must be a fixed point, so any fixed point of degree n must either be of the form g(x) * (x^2 + x) or g(x) * (x^2 + x) + 1 for a unique degree n - 2 fixed point g(x). Therefore we have the recurrence relation a(n) = 2 * a(n - 2) as desired. - Keith J. Bauer, Mar 19 2024

Let p(n,x) be the completely additive polynomial-valued function such that p(1,x) = 0 and p(prime(n),x) = x^(n-1), like is defined in A206284 (although here we are not limited to just irreducible polynomials). Then a(n) is the value of the polynomial encoded in such a manner by n, when it is evaluated at x=-1. - The original definition rewritten and clarified by Antti Karttunen, Oct 03 2018

Positions of 0 give the values of n for which the polynomial p(n,x) is divisible by x+1. For related sequences, see the Mathematica section.

Also the number of odd prime indices of n minus the number of even prime indices of n (both counted with multiplicity), where a prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798. - Gus Wiseman, Oct 24 2023

Also number of 1's in all partitions of n+1 into odd parts. Example: a(4)=7 because the partitions of 5 into odd parts are [5], [3,1,1], [1,1,1,1,1], having a total number of 7 1's. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 29 2006

a(n) = if n <= 1 then A201377(1,n) else A201377(n,1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 02 2011

a(n) equals the sum of the parts of the form 2^k (k >= 0) in all partitions of n + 1 into distinct parts. Example: a(6) = 14. The partitions of 7 into distinct parts are [7], [6,1], [5,2], [4,3] and [4,2,1] having sum over parts of the form 2^k equal to 1 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 14. - Peter Bala, Dec 01 2013

Number of partitions of the (n+1)-multiset {0,...,0,1} with n 0's into distinct multisets; a(3) = 5: 0|00|1, 00|01, 000|1, 0|001, 0001. Also number of factorizations of 3*2^n into distinct factors; a(3) = 5: 2*3*4, 4*6, 3*8, 2*12, 24. - Alois P. Heinz, Jul 30 2021

The partitions of n are partitioned into four types:

EO, even # of odd parts and odd # of even parts, A236559;

OE, odd # of odd parts and even # of even parts, A160786;

EE, even # of odd parts and even # of even parts, A236913;

OO, odd # of odd parts and odd # of even parts, A236914.

A236559 and A160786 are the bisections of A027193;

A236913 and A236914 are the bisections of A027187.

The bisection {1,1,2,3,5,7,11,15,22,...} agrees with the initial terms of A008641, Number of partitions of n into at most 12 parts and also A008635, Molien series for A_12.

a(2n+1)=a(2n) for all n>0. If the partition {...,1} is a member of a(2n) then the partition {...,1,1} is a member of a(2n+1). - Robert G. Wilson v, Jun 09 2006

Number of partitions of n where all parts (except for possibly the first part) are even; see example. - Joerg Arndt, Apr 22 2013

For n >= 2, a(n) = number of partitions p of n such that floor(n/2) is a part of p. For n >= 1, a(n) = number of partitions p of n such that ceiling(n/2) is a part of p. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 28 2014

From Gus Wiseman, Oct 28 2021: (Start)

If we insert zeros every three terms, this counts partitions of n such that n = floor(3*k/2), where k is the number of parts. This counts by sum rather than length. These partitions are ranked by A347452.

Also the number of integer partitions of n with alternating product 1, where the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)). These are the conjugates of the partitions (ranked by A336119) described in Arndt's comment above. For example, the a(2) = 1 through a(10) = 7 partitions are:

11 111 22 221 33 331 44 441 55

1111 11111 2211 22111 2222 22221 3322

111111 1111111 3311 33111 4411

221111 2211111 222211

11111111 111111111 331111

22111111

1111111111

These partitions are ranked by A028982. The odd-length case is A035363 (shifted), which is also the version for sum instead of product. The multiplicative version (factorizations) is A347438.
