%N a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n for which the length is equal to the index of the seaweed algebra formed by the integer partition paired with its weight.

%C The index of a Lie algebra, g, is an invariant of the Lie algebra defined by min(dim(Ker(B_f)) where the min is taken over all linear functionals f on g and B_f denotes the bilinear form f([_,_]) were [,] denotes the bracket multiplication on g.

%C For seaweed subalgebras of sl(n), which are Lie subalgebras of sl(n) whose matrix representations are parametrized by an ordered pair of compositions of n, the index can be determined from a corresponding graph called a meander.

%C a(n)>0 for n=2,6 and n>8. To see this: for n congruent to 2,6 (mod 8) take the partition of the form (2,...,2); for n>=9 congruent to 1,5 (mod 8), say n=4k+1, take the partition (4k-3,3,1); for n>7 congruent to 3 (mod 8), say n=8k+3, take the partition (4k,3,2,...,2) with 2k 2's; for n>7 congruent to 7 (mod 8) take the partition ((n-1)/2, (n-5)/2,3); for n>8 congruent to 4 (mod 8) take the partition (n-8,4,3,1); and for n>8 congruent to 0 (mod 8) take the partition (n-8,4,4).
