The representation of the compositions (for fixed n) is as lists of parts, the order between individual compositions (for the same n) is (list-)reversed lexicographic; see the example by Omar E. Pol. - Joerg Arndt, Sep 03 2013

This is the standard ordering for compositions in this database; it is similar to the Mathematica ordering for partitions (A080577). Other composition orderings include A124734 (similar to the Abramowitz & Stegun ordering for partitions, A036036), A108244 (similar to the Maple partition ordering, A080576), etc (see crossrefs).

Factorize each term in A057335; sequence records the values of the resulting exponents. It also runs through all possible permutations of multiset digits.

This can be regarded as a table in two ways: with each composition as a row, or with the compositions of each integer as a row. The first way has A000120 as row lengths and A070939 as row sums; the second has A001792 as row lengths and A001788 as row sums. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Nov 06 2006

This sequence includes every finite sequence of positive integers. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Nov 06 2006

Compositions (or ordered partitions) are also generated in sequence A101211. - Alford Arnold, Dec 12 2006

The equivalent sequence for partitions is A228531. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 03 2013

The sole partition of zero has no components, not a single component of length one. Hence the first nonempty row is row 1. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Apr 02 2014 [Edited by Andrey Zabolotskiy, May 19 2018]

See sequence A261300 for another version where the terms of each composition are concatenated to form one single integer: (0, 1, 2, 11, 3, 21, 12, 111,...). This also shows how the terms can be obtained from the binary numbers A007088, cf. Arnold's first Example. - M. F. Hasler, Aug 29 2015

The k-th composition in the list is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This is described as the standard ordering used in the OEIS, although the sister sequence A228351 is also sometimes considered to be canonical. Both sequences define a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions. - Gus Wiseman, May 19 2020

First differences of A030303 = positions of bits 1 in the concatenation A030190 (= A030302) of numbers written in binary (A007088). - Indices of record values (= first occurrence of n) are given by A005183: a(A005183(n)) = n, cf. FORMULA for more. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 12 2020

The geometric mean approaches the Somos constant (A112302). - Jwalin Bhatt, Feb 10 2025

The primes become the powers of 2 (2 -> 1, 3 -> 2, 5 -> 4, 7 -> 8); the composite numbers are formed by taking the values for the factors in the increasing order, multiplying them by the consecutive powers of 2, and summing. See the Example section.

From Antti Karttunen, Jun 27 2014: (Start)

The odd bisection (containing even terms) halved gives A244153.

The even bisection (containing odd terms), when one is subtracted from each and halved, gives this sequence back.

Question: Are there any other solutions that would satisfy the recurrence r(1) = 0; and for n > 1, r(n) = Sum_{d|n, d>1} 2^A033265(r(d)), apart from simple variants 2^k * A156552(n)? See also A297112, A297113. - Antti Karttunen, Dec 30 2017

For n>0: first occurrence of n in row 2^(n-1), and when the table is seen as a flattened list at position n*2^(n-1)+1, cf. A005183. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 16 2013

Row n lists the positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of n. Compare to triangles A112798 and A213925. - Gus Wiseman, Jul 22 2019

Same as A112798 with rows reversed. Row lengths are A001222. Rows sums are A056239.

The Heinz number of an integer partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k).

A permutation of the squarefree numbers A005117. The missing positive numbers are in A013929. - Alois P. Heinz, Sep 06 2014

From Antti Karttunen, Apr 18 & 19 2017: (Start)

Because a(n) toggles the parity of n there are neither fixed points nor any cycles of odd length.

Conjecture: there are no finite cycles of any length. My grounds for this conjecture: any finite cycle in this sequence, if such cycles exist at all, must have at least one member that occurs somewhere in A285319, the terms that seem already to be quite rare. Moreover, any such a number n should satisfy in addition to A019565(n) < n also that A048675^{k}(n) is squarefree, not just for k=0, 1 but for all k >= 0. As there is on average a probability of only 6/(Pi^2) = 0.6079... that any further term encountered on the trajectory of A048675 is squarefree, the total chance that all of them would be squarefree (which is required from the elements of A019565-cycles) is soon minuscule, especially as A048675 is not very tightly bounded (many trajectories seem to skyrocket, at least initially). I am also assuming that usually there is no significant correlation between the binary expansions of n and A048675(n) (apart from their least significant bits), or, for that matter, between their prime factorizations.

See also the slightly stronger conjecture in A285320, which implies that there would neither be any two-way infinite cycles.

If either of the conjectures is false (there are cycles), then certainly neither sequence A285332 nor its inverse A285331 can be a permutation of natural numbers. (End)

The conjecture made in A087207 (see also A288569) implies the two conjectures mentioned above. A further constraint for cycles is that in any A019565-trajectory which starts from a squarefree number (A005117), every other term is of the form 4k+2, while every other term is of the form 6k+3. - Antti Karttunen, Jun 18 2017

The sequence satisfies the exponential function identity, a(x + y) = a(x) * a(y), whenever x and y do not have a 1-bit in the same position, i.e., when A004198(x,y) = 0. See also A283475. - Antti Karttunen, Oct 31 2019

The above identity becomes unconditional if binary exclusive OR, A003987(.,.), is substituted for addition, and A059897(.,.), a multiplicative equivalent of A003987, is substituted for multiplication. This gives us a(A003987(x,y)) = A059897(a(x), a(y)). - Peter Munn, Nov 18 2019

Also the Heinz number of the binary indices of n, where the Heinz number of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k), and a number's binary indices (A048793) are the positions of 1's in its reversed binary expansion. - Gus Wiseman, Dec 28 2022

This sequence does not contain any number of the form 36n-6 or 36n+6, as such numbers are divisible by 6 but not by 4 or 9. Consequently, this sequence does not contain 24 consecutive integers. The quest for the greatest number of consecutive integers in this sequence has ties to the ABC conjecture (see the MathOverflow link). - Danny Rorabaugh, Sep 23 2015

The Heinz number of an integer partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k), so these are Heinz numbers of integer partitions with distinct multiplicities. The enumeration of these partitions by sum is given by A098859. - Gus Wiseman, May 04 2019

Aktaş and Ram Murty (2017) called these terms "special numbers" ("for lack of a better word"). They prove that the number of terms below x is ~ c*x/log(x), where c > 1 is a constant. - Amiram Eldar, Feb 25 2021

Sequence A005940(1+A328592(n)), n >= 1, sorted into ascending order. - Antti Karttunen, Apr 03 2022

The original motivation for this sequence was to encode the prime factorization of n in the binary representation of a(n), each such representation being unique as long as this map is restricted to A005117 (squarefree numbers, resulting a permutation of nonnegative integers A048672) or any of its subsequence, resulting an injective function like A048623 and A048639.

However, also the restriction to A260443 (not all terms of which are squarefree) results a permutation of nonnegative integers, namely A001477, the identity permutation.

When a polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients is encoded with the prime factorization of n (e.g., as in A206296, A260443), then a(n) gives the evaluation of that polynomial at x=2.

The primitive completely additive integer sequence that satisfies a(n) = a(A225546(n)), n >= 1. By primitive, we mean that if b is another such sequence, then there is an integer k such that b(n) = k * a(n) for all n >= 1. - Peter Munn, Feb 03 2020

If the binary rank of an integer partition y is given by Sum_i 2^(y_i-1), and the Heinz number is Product_i prime(y_i), then a(n) is the binary rank of the integer partition with Heinz number n. Note the function taking a set s to Sum_i 2^(s_i-1) is the inverse of A048793 (binary indices), and the function taking a multiset m to Product_i prime(m_i) is the inverse of A112798 (prime indices). - Gus Wiseman, May 22 2024

a(n) = number of partitions of n, when for each k there are p(k) different copies of part k. E.g., let the parts be 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, ... Then the a(4) = 14 partitions of 4 are: 4 = 4a = 4b = ... = 4e = 3a+1 = 3b+1 = 3c+1 = 2a+2a = 2a+2b = 2b+2b = 2a+1 = 2b+1 = 1+1+1+1.

Equivalently (Cayley), a(n) = number of 2-dimensional partitions of n. E.g., for n = 4 we have:

4 31 3 22 2 211 21 2 2 1111 111 11 11 1

1 2 1 11 1 1 11 1 1

1 1 1

1

Also total number of different species of singularity for conjugate functions with n letters (Sylvester).

According to [Belmans], this sequence gives "[t]he number of Segre symbols for the intersection of two quadrics in a fixed dimension". - Eric M. Schmidt, Sep 02 2017

From Gus Wiseman, Jul 30 2022: (Start)

Also the number of non-isomorphic multiset partitions of weight n with all constant blocks. The strict case is A089259. For example, non-isomorphic representatives of the a(1) = 1 through a(3) = 6 multiset partitions are:

{{1}} {{1,1}} {{1,1,1}}

{{1},{1}} {{1},{1,1}}

{{1},{2}} {{1},{2,2}}

{{1},{1},{1}}

{{1},{2},{2}}

{{1},{2},{3}}

A000688 counts factorizations into prime powers.

A007716 counts non-isomorphic multiset partitions by weight.

A279784 counts twice-partitions of type PPR, factorizations A295935.

Constant partitions are ranked by prime-powers: A000961, A023894, A054685, A246655, A355743.

(End)

The concatenation of all rows (with offset 1) gives a permutation of the natural numbers A000027 with fixed points 1-6, 9, 10, 14, 15, 21, 22, 33, 49, 1095199, ... and inverse permutation A215501.

Number m is positioned in row n = A056239(m). The number of different values m, such that both m and m+1 occur in row n is A088850(n). A215369 lists all values m, such that both m and m+1 are in the same row.

The power prime(i)^j of the i-th prime is in row i*j for j in {0,1,2, ... }.

Column k=2 contains the even semiprimes A100484, where 10 and 22 are replaced by the odd semiprimes 9 and 21, respectively.

This triangle is related to the triangle A145518, see in both triangles the first column, the right border, the second right border and the row sums. - Omar E. Pol, May 18 2015

If n = prime(x_1) * prime(x_2) * prime(x_3) * ... * prime(x_k) then a(n) = x_1 - x_2 + x_3 - ... + (-1)^(k-1) x_k, where the x_i are weakly increasing positive integers.

The value of a(n) depends only on the squarefree part of n, A007913(n). - Antti Karttunen, May 06 2022
