FORMULA
a(n,m) is the number of m part partitions of n which define m-multiset repetition classes. Multiset repetition class defining is equivalent to the following constraint on the exponents of a partition (1^e[1],2^e[2],...,M^e[M]):
e[1] >= e[2]>=...>=e[M]>=1, i.e., positive nonincreasing with largest part M. This will satisfy T(M) <= n where T(M) = A000217(M) are the triangular numbers; for each n every sufficiently small positive M does occur.
EXAMPLE
1;
0,1;
0,1,1;
0,0,1,1;
0,0,0,1,1;
0,0,1,1,1,1;
0,0,0,1,1,1,1;

CROSSREFS
a(7,5)=1 because there is only one 5 part partition of 7 which is 5-multiset repetition class defining, namely (1^3,2^2) (see row n=7 of the partition array A176723). This defines the 5-multiset class representative {1,1,1,2,2}.
