COMMENTS
In the shell model of partitions (Cf. A135010, A138121) the n-th largest part has length = A141285(n). After the folding of the partitions the pair(i,j) shows the horizontal location of the n-th largest part at the level n of the structure (see example).
FORMULA
A141285(n) = abs(i(n)) + j(n).
