The section-sum partition (A381436) of a multiset or partition y is defined as follows: (1) determine and remember the sum of all distinct parts, (2) remove one instance of each distinct part, (3) repeat until no parts are left. The remembered values comprise the section-sum partition. For example, starting with (3,2,2,1,1) we get (6,3).
Equivalently, the k-th part of the section-sum partition is the sum of all (distinct) parts that appear at least k times. Compare to the definition of the conjugate of a partition, where we count parts >= k.
