COMMENTS
Also number of decreasing integer sequences l(1) >= l(2) >= l(3) >= .. 0 such that sum('i*l(i)','i'=1..infinity)=n.
a(n) is also the number of partitions of n such that #{parts equal to i} >= #{parts equal to j} if i <= j.
Also the number of partitions of n (necessarily into distinct parts) where the part sizes are monotonically decreasing (including the last part, which is the difference between the last part and a "part" of size 0). These partitions are the conjugates of the partitions with number of parts of size i increasing. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Apr 08 2008
Also partitions with condition as in A179255, and additionally, if more than one part, first difference >= first part: for example, a(10)=7 as there are 7 such partitions of 10: 1+2+3+4 = 1+2+7 = 1+3+6 = 1+9 = 2+8 = 3+7 = 10. - Joerg Arndt, Mar 22 2011
Number of members of A181818 with a bigomega value of n (cf. A001222). - Matthew Vandermast, May 19 2012

FORMULA
G.f.: 1/Product_{k>=2} (1-z^binomial(k, 2)).
For n>0: a(n) = b(n, 1) where b(n, k) = if n>k*(k+1)/2 then b(n-k*(k+1)/2, k) + b(n, k+1) else (if n=k*(k+1)/2 then 1 else 0). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 26 2003
For n>0, a(n) is Euler Transform of [1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,...], i.e A010054, n>0. - Benedict W. J. Irwin, Jul 29 2016
a(n) ~ exp(3*Pi^(1/3) * Zeta(3/2)^(2/3) * n^(1/3) / 2) * Zeta(3/2) / (2^(7/2) * sqrt(3) * Pi * n^(3/2)) [Brigham 1950 (exponential part), Almkvist 2006]. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 31 2016
G.f.: Sum_{i>=0} x^(i*(i+1)/2) / Product_{j=1..i} (1 - x^(j*(j+1)/2)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, May 07 2017
EXAMPLE
6 = 3+3 = 3+1+1+1 = 1+1+1+1+1+1 so a(6) = 4.
a(7)=4: Four sequences as above are (7,0,..), (5,1,0,..), (3,2,0,..),(2,1,1,0,..). They correspond to the partitions 1^7, 2 1^5, 2^2 1^3, 3 2 1^2 of seven or in the main description to the partitions 1^7, 3 1^4, 3^2 1, 6 1.

The a(1) = 1 through a(9) = 6 partitions using nonzero triangular numbers are the following. The Heinz numbers of these partitions are given by A325363.

111 1111 11111 33 331 3311 333

The a(1) = 1 through a(10) = 7 partitions with weakly decreasing multiplicities are the following. Equivalent to Matthew Vandermast's comment, the Heinz numbers of these partitions are given by A025487 (products of primorial numbers).

The a(1) = 1 through a(11) = 7 partitions with weakly increasing differences (where the last part is taken to be zero) are the following. The Heinz numbers of these partitions are given by A325362 (A = 10, B = 11).
