COMMENTS
These are partitions where the first part minus the last part is the number of parts minus 1.
EXAMPLE
The a(3) = 1 through a(11) = 8 partitions:
(21) . (32) (321) (43) (422) (54) (442) (65)
(311) (331) (4211) (432) (4321) (533)
(4111) (4221) (4411) (4331)
(4311) (52111) (4421)
(51111) (5222)
(52211)
(53111)
(611111)
For example, the partition y = (4,2,2,1) has first differences (-2,0,-1), with mean -1, so y is counted under a(9).
