A072255 Number of ways to partition {1,2,...,n} into arithmetic progressions, where in each partition all the progressions have the same common difference and have lengths greater than or equal to 2. 1
1, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 19, 29, 47, 76, 125, 200, 322, 519, 845, 1366, 2211, 3573, 5778, 9342, 15122, 24481, 39639, 64094, 103684, 167734, 271397, 439178, 710698 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

REFERENCES

The question of enumerating these partitions appears as Problem 11005, American Mathematical Monthly, 110, April 2003, page 340.

Problem 11005, American Math. Monthly, Vol. 112, 2005, pp. 89-90. (The published solution is incomplete; the solver's expression q_2(n,d) must be summed over all d = 1,2,...,floor{n/2}.)

FORMULA

a(n) = sum_{d=1}^{floor{n/2}} {{F_k}^r}*{F_{k-1}}^{d-r}, where d is the common difference of the arithmetic progressions, k = Floor{n/d}, r = n mod d and F_k is the k-th Fibonacci number (A000045). - Marty Getz (ffmpg1(AT)uaf.edu) and Dixon Jones (fndjj(AT)uaf.edu), May 21 2005

EXAMPLE

a(5)=4: the four ways to partition {1,2,3,4,5} as described above are: {1,2}{3,4,5}; {1,2,3}{4,5}; {1,2,3,4,5}; {1,3,5}{2,4}.

CROSSREFS

A053732 relates to partitions of {1, 2, ..., n} into arithmetic progressions without restrictions on the common difference of the progressions.
