Comments

For n >= 1, a(n) is also the number of vertices in the minimalist diagram of partitions of n, in which A139582(n) is the number of line segments and A000041(n) is the number of open regions (see example).

Formula

a(n) = 3*A000041(n) = A000041(n) + A139582(n).

a(n) = A299475(n) - 1, n >= 1.

Example

Construction of a minimalist version of a modular table of partitions in which a(n) is the number of vertices of the diagram after n-th stage (n = 1..6):
