Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A366105
a(n) is the number of parts in the n-th partition of n when the partitions are listed in graded reverse lexicographic order (cf. A080577, as in Mathematica).

Conjecture 1. Every integer m > 1 occurs infinitely many times. (For example, 2 occurs for n = 2,8,13,20,31,46,68,....)
Conjecture 2. Let f(n) be the greatest (i.e., the first) part in the n-th partition of n. Then for every integer m, there exists an index i such that f(i+1), f(i+2), ..., f(i+m) are consecutive integers.
EXAMPLE
The partitions of 5, listed in reverse-lexicographic order, are (5, 41, 32, 311, 221, 2111, 11111); the 5th in this list is 221, with length 3, so that a(5) = 3.
