COMMENTS

Also number of decreasing integer sequences l(1) >= l(2) >= l(3) >= .. 0 such that sum('i*l(i)','i'=1..infinity)=n.

a(n) is also the number of partitions of n such that #{parts equal to i} >= #{parts equal to j} if i <= j.

Also the number of partitions of n (necessarily into distinct parts) where the part sizes are monotonically decreasing (including the last part, which is the difference between the last part and a "part" of size 0). These partitions are the conjugates of the partitions with number of parts of size i increasing. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Apr 08 2008

Also partitions with condition as in A179255, and additionally, if more than 1 part, first difference >= first part: for example, a(10)=7 as there are 7 such partitions of 10:  1+2+3+4= 1+2+7= 1+3+6= 1+9= 2+8= 3+7= 10. [Joerg Arndt, Mar 22 2011].

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/Product(k>=2, 1-z^binomial(k, 2)).

For n>0: a(n) = b(n, 1) where b(n, k) = if n>k*(k+1)/2 then b(n-k*(k+1)/2, k) + b(n, k+1) else (if n=k*(k+1)/2 then 1 else 0). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Aug 26 2003

EXAMPLE

6=3+3=3+1+1+1=1+1+1+1+1+1 so a(6) = 4.

a(7)=4: Four sequences as above are (7,0,..), (5,1,0,..), (3,2,0,..),(2,1,1,0,..). They correspond to the partitions 1^7, 2 1^5, 2^2 1^3, 3 2 1^2 of seven or in the main description to the partitions 1^7, 3 1^4, 3^2 1, 6 1.

MAPLE

b:= proc(n, i) option remember;

      if n<0 then 0

    elif n=0 then 1

    elif i=0 then 0

    else b(n, i-1) +b(n-i*(i+1)/2, i)

      fi

    end:

a:= n-> b(n, floor (sqrt (2*n))):
