%N Minimum length of the self-conjugates partitions of n (0 if n=2; length of a partition is the number of parts).
%C There are no self-conjugate partitions of 2, so we set a(2)=0.
%e a(12)=4 because the self-conjugate partitions of 12 are [6,2,1,1,1,1],[5,3,2,1,1] and [4,4,2,2], having 6,5 and 4 parts, respectively; the smallest is 4.
%p g:=sum(t^k*x^(k^2)/product(1-t*x^(2*j),j=1..k),k=1..15): gser:=simplify(series(g,x=0,110)): 0,1,0,seq(ldegree(coeff(gser,x^n)),n=3..105); # sum(t^k*x^(k^2)/product(1-t*x^(2*j),j=1..k),k=1..infinity) is the bivariate g.f. for self-conjugate partitions according to weight (i.e. sum of the parts, marked by x) and number of parts (marked by t); - _Emeric Deutsch_, Apr 05 2006
