%F G.f.: 1 + sum(k>=0, ((x^(k+1)-x)/(x-1))^k ). - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Sep 24 2004

%F G.f.: 1 + sum(n>=1, q^n * ( (1-q^n)/(1-q) )^n ), the g.f. above, slightly rewritten. [_Joerg Arndt_, Mar 30 2014]

%F a(n) ~ 2^(n-1). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, May 01 2014

%F a(n) = A098124(n)+A098125(n). - _R. J. Mathar_, Oct 01 2021

%e a(5)=11 since 5 can be written as 1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+2, 1+1+2+1, 1+1+3, 1+2+1+1, 1+2+2, 1+3+1, 2+1+1+1, 2+1+2, 2+2+1, or 3+1+1; but not as 2+3 since then the largest part (3) would be greater than the number of parts (2).
