COMMENTS
The Heinz numbers of these partitions are given by A325196.
Under the Bulgarian solitaire step, these partitions form cycles of length >= 2. Length >= 2 means not the length=1 self-loop which occurs from the triangular partition when n is a triangular number. See A074909 for self-loops included. - Kevin Ryde, Sep 27 2019
