COMMENTS

Dimensions of the homogeneous parts of the free Lie algebra with one generator in 1,2,3, etc. (Lie analogue of the partition numbers).

This sequence is the Lie analogue of the partition sequence (which gives the dimensions of the homogeneous polynomials with one generator in each degree) or similarly of the partitions into distinct (or odd numbers) (which gives the dimensions of the homogeneous parts of the exterior algebra with one generator in each dimension).

Contribution from David Pasino (davepasino(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 29 2009: (Start)

The number of cycles of length n of rectangle shapes in the process of

repeatedly cutting a square off the end of the rectangle. For example,

the one cycle of length 1 is the golden rectangle. (End)

FORMULA

G.f.: Product((1-q^k)^a(n), k = 1..infinity) = 1-q-q^2-q^3-q^4.. = 2-1/(1-q).

EXAMPLE

a(4)=3: the 3 elements [a,c], [a[a,b]] and d form a basis of all homogeneous elements of degree 4 in the free Lie algebra with generators a of degree 1, b of degree 2, c of degree 3 and d of degree 4.
