Comments

The set of partitions of n contains n shells (see A135010). Let m and n be two positive integers such that m <= n. It appears that in any set formed by m connected shells, or m disconnected shells, or a mixture of both, the sum of all parts of the j-th column equals the total number of parts >= j in the same set (see example). More generally it appears that any of these sets has the same properties mentioned in A206563 and A207031.

It appears that the last k shells of n contain p(n-k) parts of size k, where p(n) = A000041(n). See also A182703.

Formula

T(n,k) = A006128(n) - A006128(k-1).

T(n,k) = Sum_{j=k..n} A138137(j).

Example

For n = 5 the illustration shows five sets containing the last n-k+1 shells of 5 and below we can see that the sum of all parts of the first column equals the total number of parts in each set:
