We say that a sequence of nonempty sets is choosable iff it is possible to choose a different element from each set. For example, ({1,2},{1},{1,3}) is choosable because we have the choice (2,1,3), but ({1},{2},{1,3},{2,3}) is not.
a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n such that it is not possible to choose a sequence of distinct strict integer partitions, one of each part.
Also the number of integer partitions of n with at least one part k whose multiplicity exceeds A000009(k).
EXAMPLE
The a(2) = 1 through a(8) = 14 partitions:
(11) (111) (22) (221) (222) (322) (422)
(211) (311) (411) (511) (611)
(1111) (2111) (2211) (2221) (2222)
(11111) (3111) (3211) (3221)
(21111) (4111) (3311)
(111111) (22111) (4211)
(31111) (5111)
(211111) (22211)
(1111111) (32111)
(41111)
(221111)
(311111)
(2111111)
(11111111)
