COMMENTS

Also n-stacks with strictly receding left wall.
Weakly unimodal compositions such that each up-step is by at most 1 (and first part 1). By dropping the requirement for weak unimodality one obtains A005169. - Joerg Arndt, Dec 09 2012
The values of a(19) and a(20) in Auluck's table on page 686 are wrong (they have been corrected here). - David W. Wilson, Mar 07 2015

FORMULA

G.f.: sum(n>=1, q^(n*(n+1)/2) / prod(k=1..n-1, 1-q^k)^2 / (1-q^n) ). [Joerg Arndt, Jun 28 2013]
a(n) = sum_{m>0,k>0,2*k^2+k+2*m<=n-1} A008289(m,k)*A000041(n-k*(1+2k)-2*m-1). - [Auluck eq 29]
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 03 2020: (Start)
Pi * sqrt(2/3) <= n^(-1/2)*log(a(n)) <= Pi * sqrt(5/6). [Auluck, 1951]
log(a(n)) ~ 2*Pi*sqrt(n/5). [Wright, 1971]
a(n) ~ exp(2*Pi*sqrt(n/5)) / (sqrt(2) * 5^(3/4) * (1 + sqrt(5)) * n). (End)

EXAMPLE

For a(6)=8 we have the following stacks:
..x
.xx .xx. ..xx .x... ..x.. ...x. ....x
xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx
From Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jan 18 2007: (Start)
For a(7) = 12 we have the following stacks:
..x. ...x
.xx. ..xx .xxx .xx.. ..xx. ...xx
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
and
.x.... ..x... ...x.. ....x. .....x
xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx
