COMMENTS

Number of partitions of n where there are unlimited distinguishable but unlabeled objects of each size. E.g., in splitting 2 into two parts of size 1, we distinguish whether the same object is used for each part. Also number of factorization patterns over rationals, or many other UFDs (but not over real or complex numbers). - Frank Adams-Watters , Jun 19 2006

Equals the "aerate and convolve" convergent of A000041 =

(1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11,...) * (1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 5,...) * (1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 3,...)  (End)

FORMULA

Euler transform of tau(n), tau(n)=the number of divisors of n, cf. A000005. G.f.: Product_{k=1..infinity} (1 - x^k)^(-tau(k)). a(n)=1/n*Sum_{k=1..n} a(n-k)*b(k), n>1, a(0)=1, b(k)=Sum_{d|k} d*tau(d), cf. A060640. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Apr 21 2001

a(n) = sum_{<b(i)^k(i)> partition of n} product p(k(i)), where p(n) is the partition function A000041. E.g., for the partition [4,2^3,1^4], the product is p(1)*p(3)*p(4) = 1*3*5 = 15. - Frank Adams-Watters , Jun 19 2006

G.f.: A(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} sigma(n)*x^n/(1-x^n)/n ). [From Paul D. Hanna, Mar 28 2009]

Contribution from Paul D. Hanna, Oct 19 2011: (Start)

Logarithmic derivative yields A006171.

G.f.: A(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} A006171(n)*x^n/n ), where A006171(n) = Sum_{d|n} d*sigma(n/d). (End)

EXAMPLE

For n=3 we have 3=(3*1)=(1*3)=(2*1)+(1*1)=(1*2)+(1*1)=(1*1)+(1*1)+(1*1) so a(3)=5.

MAPLE

with (numtheory): etr:= proc(p) local b; b:=proc(n) option remember; local d, j; if n=0 then 1 else add (add (d*p(d), d=divisors(j)) *b(n-j), j=1..n)/n fi end end: a:=etr (tau): seq (a(n), n=0..38); [From Alois P. Heinz, Sep 08 2008]
