COMMENTS
The rank of a partition is the largest summand minus the number of summands.
Also number of partitions of n with negative rank. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 05 2012
Column 1 of A208478. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 11 2012
Number of partitions p of n such that max(max(p), number of parts of p) is not a part of p. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 28 2014
The sequence enumerates the semigroup of partitions of positive rank for each number n. The semigroup is a subsemigroup of the monoid of partitions of nonnegative rank under the binary operation "*": Let A be the positive rank partition (a1,...,ak) where ak > k, and let B=(b1,...bj) with bj > j. Then let A*B be the partition (a1b1,...,a1bj,...,akb1,...,akbj), which has akbj > kj, thus having positive rank. For example, the partition (2,3,4) of 9 has rank 1, and its product with itself is (4,6,6,8,8,9,12,12,16) of 81, which has rank 7. A similar situation holds for partitions of negative rank--they are a subsemigroup of the monoid of nonpositive rank partitions. - Richard Locke Peterson, Jul 15 2018

FORMULA
a(n) = (A000041(n) - A047993(n))/2.
a(n) = p(n-2) - p(n-7) + p(n-15) - ... - (-1)^k*p(n-(3*k^2+k)/2) + ..., where p() is A000041(). - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 04 2004

EXAMPLE
a(20) = p(18) - p(13) + p(5) = 385 - 101 + 7 = 291.
