%N Number of integer partitions of n whose Young diagram can be partitioned into vertical sections of the same sizes as the parts of the original partition.

%C First differs from A046682 at a(11) = 28, A046682(11) = 29.

%C A vertical section is a partial Young diagram with at most one square in each row. For example, a suitable partition (shown as a coloring by positive integers) of the Young diagram of (322) is:

%C 1 2 3

%C 1 2

%C 2 3

%C Conjecture: a(n) is the number of half-loop-graphical partitions of n. An integer partition is half-loop-graphical if it comprises the multiset of vertex-degrees of some graph with half-loops, where a half-loop is an edge with one vertex, to be distinguished from a full loop, which has two equal vertices.

%F a(n) is the number of integer partitions y of n such that the coefficient of m(y) in e(y) is nonzero, where m is monomial symmetric functions and e is elementary symmetric functions.

%F a(n) = A000041(n) - A321728(n).

%e The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 12 partitions whose Young diagram cannot be partitioned into vertical sections of the same sizes as the parts of the original partition are the same as the half-loop-graphical partitions up to n = 8:

%e (1) (11) (21) (22) (221) (222) (322) (332)

%e (111) (211) (311) (321) (2221) (2222)

%e (1111) (2111) (2211) (3211) (3221)

%e (11111) (3111) (4111) (3311)

%e (21111) (22111) (4211)

%e (111111) (31111) (22211)

%e (211111) (32111)

%e (1111111) (41111)

%e (221111)

%e (311111)

%e (2111111)

%e (11111111)

%e For example, the half-loop-graphs

%e {{1},{1,2},{1,3},{2,3}}

%e {{1},{2},{3},{1,2},{1,3}}

%e both have degrees y = (3,2,2), so y is counted under a(7).

%Y The complement is counted by A321728.

%Y A027187 counts partitions of even length, ranked by A028260.

%Y A058696 counts partitions of even numbers, ranked by A300061.

%Y A320663/A339888 count unlabeled multiset partitions into singletons/pairs.

%Y A322661 counts labeled covering half-loop-graphs, ranked by A340018/A340019.

%Y A339659 is a triangle counting graphical partitions by length.
