%N Maximum adjusted frequency depth among integer partitions of n.

%C The adjusted frequency depth of an integer partition is 0 if the partition is empty, and otherwise it is one plus the number of times one must take the multiset of multiplicities to reach a singleton. For example, the partition (32211) has adjusted frequency depth 5 because we have: (32211) -> (221) -> (21) -> (11) -> (2).

%C The term "frequency depth" appears to have been coined by Clark Kimberling in A225485 and A225486, and can be applied to both integers (A323014) and integer partitions (A325280).

%C Run lengths are A325258, i.e., first differences of Levine's sequence A011784 (except at n = 1).

%F a(0) = 0; a(1) = 1; a(n > 1) = A225486(n).

%Y Integer partition triangles: A008284 (first omega), A116608 (second omega), A325242 (third omega), A325268 (second-to-last omega), A225485 or A325280 (length/frequency depth).
