FORMULA
log(a(n)) ~ N*log(N) where N = (6*n)^(1/3) (see Fill, Janson and Ward). - Peter Luschny, Jun 04 2012
EXAMPLE
a(6)=7 because 6= 4+1+1= 3+3= 3+1+1+1= 2+2+2= 2+1+1+1+1= 1+1+1+1+1+1. Four unrestricted partitions of 6 are not counted by a(6): 5+1, 4+2, 3+2+1 because at least two different summands are each used once; 2+2+1+1 because each summand is used twice.
From Gus Wiseman, Apr 19 2019: (Start)
The a(1) = 1 through a(9) = 15 partitions are the following. The Heinz numbers of these partitions are given by A130091.
