Open problem: Do the 9th differences of the strict integer partition numbers contain a zero? If so, we must have a(9) > 10^5.

a(12) = 47. Conjecture: a(n) = 0 for n > 12. - Chai Wah Wu, Dec 15 2024

			The 7th differences of A000009 are: 25, -16, 7, -6, 10, -9, 0, 10, ... so a(7) = 7.

For primes we have A376678.
For composites we have A377037.
For squarefree numbers we have A377042.
For nonsquarefree numbers we have A377050.
For prime-powers we have A377055.
Position of first zero in each row of A378622. See also:
- A175804 is the version for partitions.
- A293467 gives first column (up to sign).
- A378970 gives row-sums.
- A378971 gives row-sums of absolute value.
A000009 counts strict integer partitions, differences A087897, A378972.
A000041 counts integer partitions, differences A002865, A053445.
