The distance graph of the partitions of n is defined by its edges, specifically, two partitions (i.e. vertices) p and q share an edge if d(p,q) = 2, where d is defined in A366156.
FORMULA
EXAMPLE
Enumerate the 7 partitions (= vertices) of 5 as follows:
1: 5
2: 4,1
3: 3,2
4: 3,1,1
5: 2,2,1
6: 2,1,1,1
7: 1,1,1,1,1
Call q a neighbor of p if d(p,q)=2. The set of neighbors for vertex k, for k = 1..7, is given by
vertex 1: {2}
vertex 2: {1,3,4}
vertex 3: {2,4,5}
vertex 4: {2,3,5,6}
vertex 5: {3,4,6}
vertex 6: {4,5,7}
vertex 7: {6}
The maximal degree is 4, which is the degree of vertex 4, so that a(5) = 4.
