%T 3,11,17,10,1,1,11,26,17,1,5,19,25,27,1,1,17,44,38,1,3,25,53,52,1,1,3,

%N Number of partitions of n that have frequency depth k, an array read by rows.

%C Let S = {x(1),...,x(k)} be a multiset whose distinct elements are y(1),...,y(h). Let f(i) be the frequency of y(i) in S. Define F(S) = {f(1),..,f(h)}, F(1,S) = F(S), and F(m,S) = F(F(m-1),S) for m>1. Then lim(F(m,S)) = {1} for every S, so that there is a least positive integer i for which F(i,S) = {1}, which we call the frequency depth of S.

%C Equivalently, the frequency depth of an integer partition is the number of times one must take the multiset of multiplicities to reach (1). For example, the partition (32211) has frequency depth 5 because we have: (32211) -> (221) -> (21) -> (11) -> (2) -> (1). - _Gus Wiseman_, Apr 19 2019

%C From _Clark Kimberling_, Sep 26 2023: (Start)

%C Below, m^n abbreviates the sum m+...+m of n terms. In the following list, the numbers p_1,...,p_k are distinct, m >= 1, and k >= 1. The forms of the partitions being counted are as follows:

%C column 1: [n],

%C column 2: [m^k],

%C column 3: [p_1^m,...,p_k^m],

%C column 4: [(p_1^m_1)^m,..., (p_k^m_k)^m], distinct numbers m_i.

%C Column 3 is of special interest. Assume first that m = 1, so that the form of partition being counted is p = [p_1,...,p_k], with conjugate given by [q_1,...,q_m] where q_i is the number of parts of p that are >= i. Since the p_i are distinct, the distinct parts of q are the integers 1,2,...,k. For the general case that m >= 1, the distinct parts of q are the integers m,...,km. Let S(n) denote the set of partitions of n counted by column 3. Then if a and b are in the set S*(n) of conjugates of partitions in S(n), and if a > b, then a - b is also in S*(n). Call this the subtraction property. Conversely, if a partition q has the subtraction property, then q must consist of a set of numbers m,..,km for some m. Thus, column 3 counts the partitions of n that have the subtraction property. (End)

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A225485/b225485.txt">Rows n = 1..200, flattened</a> (first 40 rows from Clark Kimberling)

%e The first 9 rows:

%e n = 1 .... 0

%e n = 2 .... 1..1

%e n = 3 .... 1..1..1

%e n = 4 .... 1..2..1..1

%e n = 5 .... 1..1..2..3

%e n = 6 .... 1..3..4..3

%e n = 7 .... 1..1..4..8..1

%e n = 8 .... 1..3..6..9..3

%e n = 9 .... 1..2..8.12..7

%e For the 7 partitions of 5, successive frequencies are shown here:

%e 5 -> 1 (depth 1)

%e 41 -> 11 -> 2 -> 1 (depth 3)

%e 32 -> 11 -> 2 -> 1 (depth 3)

%e 311 -> 12 -> 11 -> 2 -> 1 (depth 4)

%e 221 -> 12 -> 11 -> 2 -> 1 (depth 4)

%e 2111 -> 13 -> 11 -> 2 -> 1 (depth 4)

%e 11111 -> 5 -> 1 (depth 2)

%e Summary: 1 partition has depth 1; 1 has depth 2; 2 have 3; and 3 have 4, so that the row for n = 5 is 1..1..2..3 .
