%C For a given positive integer, n, let S_n be the set of partitions of n into distinct parts where the number of parts is maximal for that n. For example, for n=6, the set S_6 consists of just one such partition S_6={1,2,3}. Similarly, for n=7, S_7={1,2,4}, But for n=8, S_8 will contain two partitions S_8= { {1,2,5}, {1,3,4} }. Now form the sum whose general term is x^n divided by the product (1-x^(p_1))...(1-x^(p_i)) where the p's come from the partitions in S_n. The sequence is the sequence of coefficients of this sum.

%C This sequence is an upper bound for A098859.

%C The initial values of the sequence were verified by several members of the Sequence Fans mailing list.

%C |S_n| = A144328(n) (if the offset of the latter is changed to 0). - _Benoit Jubin_, Dec 13 2010.
