%N Array: row n gives the NW partitions of n; see Comments.

%C Suppose that p is a partition of n, and let m = max{greatest part of p, number of parts of p}. Write the Ferrers graph of p with 1's as nodes, and pad the graph with 0's to form an m X m square matrix, which is introduced here as the Ferrers matrix of p, denoted by f(p). Four kinds of partitions are defined from f(p); they will be described by referring to the example of a 3 X 3 matrix, as follows:

%C ...

%C a .. b .. c

%C d .. e .. f

%C g .. h .. i

%C ...

%C Writing summands in clockwise order, the four directional partitions of p are by

%C NW(p) = [g + d + a + b + c, h + e + f, i]

%C NE(p) = [a + b + c + f + i, d + e + h, g]

%C SE(p) = [c + f + i + h + g, b + e + d, a]

%C SW(p) = [i + h + g + d + a, f + e + b, c].

%C The order in which the parts appear does not change the partition, but it is common to list them in nondecreasing order, as in Example 1.

%C ...

%C Note that "Ferrers matrix" can be defined without reference to Ferrers graphs, as follows: an m X m matrix (x(i,j)) of 0's and 1's satisfying three properties: (1) x(1,m) = 1 or x(m,1) = 1; (2) x(i,j+1) >= x(i,j) for j=1..m-1 and i = 1..m; and (3) x(i+1,j) >= x(i,j) for i=1..m-1 and j=1..m. The number of Ferrers matrices of order m is given by A051924.

%C The number of NW partitions of n is A003114(n) for n >=1. - _Clark Kimberling_, Mar 20 2014

%e Example 1. Let p = {6,3,3,3,1), a partition of 16. Then NW(p) = [10, 4, 2], NE(p) = [6,3,3,3,1], SE(p) = [5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1], SW(p) = [5,4,4,1,1,1].
