Comments

T(n,k) = number of partitions of n in which the 2nd largest part is k (0 if all parts are equal). Example: T(7,2) = 4 because we have [3,2,1,1], [3,2,2], [4,2,1], and [5,2].

The fact that the above two statistics (in Name and in 1st Comment) have the same distribution follows at once by conjugation. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 11 2015

Row sums yield the partition numbers (A000041).

T(n,0) = A000005(n) = number of divisors of n.

Sum_{k>=0} k*T(n,k) = A182984(n).

Formula

G.f.: G(t,x) = Sum_{i>=1} (x^i/((1 - x^i)*Product_{j>=i+1}(1-t*x^j))).

Example

T(7,2) = 4 because we have [2,2,1,1,1], [3,2,1,1], [3,3,1], and [4,2,1].

Mathematica

b[n_, i_] := b[n, i] = If[n==0, {1, 0}, If[i<1, {0, 0}, b[n, i-1] + Sum[ Function[p, {0, p[[1]] + Expand[p[[2]]*x^j]}][b[n-i*j, i-1]], {j, 1, n/i} ]]]; T[n_] := Function[p, Table[Coefficient[p, x, i], {i, 0, Exponent[p, x]}]][b[n, n][[2]]]; Table[T[n], {n, 1, 20}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Jan 15 2016, after Alois P.
