%C If {(X,Y,Z)} are triples of nonnegative integers with X >= Y >= Z ordered by X, Y and Z, then X=A056556(n), Y=A056557(n) and Z=A056558(n)

%C From _Gus Wiseman_, Jul 03 2019: (Start)

%C Also the maximum number of distinct multiplicities among integer partitions of n. For example, random partitions of 56 realizing each number of distinct multiplicities are:

%C 1: (24,17,6,5,3,1)

%C 2: (10,9,9,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,1,1)

%C 3: (6,5,5,5,4,4,4,3,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)

%C 4: (28,5,5,3,3,3,2,2,1,1,1,1,1)

%C 5: (13,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,1)

%C 6: (6,5,5,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1)

%C The maximum number of distinct multiplicities is 6, so a(56) = 6.

%F a(n) = floor(x) where x is the (largest real) solution to x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x - 6n = 0; a(A000292(n)) = n+1.

%F a(n+1) = a(n)+1 if a(n) = A056558(n), otherwise a(n). - _Graeme McRae_, Jan 09 2007

%F a(n) = floor(t/3 + 1/t - 1), where t = (81*n + 3*sqrt(729*n^2 - 3))^(1/3). - _Ridouane Oudra_, Mar 21 2021

%F a(n) = floor(t + 1/(3*t) - 1), where t = (6*n)^(1/3), for n>=1. - _Ridouane Oudra_, Nov 04 2022

%e 3 is (3+1) * (3+2)/2 = 10 times in the sequence all these occurrences are in consecutive places. The first 3 is at position binomial(3 + 2, 3) = 10, the last one at binomial((3 + 1) + 2, 3) - 1. - _David A. Corneth_, Oct 14 2022
