COMMENTS
The "least gap" or "mex" of a partition is the least positive integer that is not a part of the partition. For example, the least gap of the partition [7,4,2,2,1] is 3.
Sum of entries in row n is A000041(n).
T(n,1) = A002865(n).
Sum_{k>=1} k*T(n,k) = A022567(n).

FORMULA
G.f.: G(t,x) = Sum_{j>=1} (t^j*x^{j(j-1)/2}*(1-x^j))/Product_{i>=1}(1-x^i).
EXAMPLE
Row n=5 is 2,3,2; indeed, the least gaps of [5], [4,1], [3,2], [3,1,1], [2,2,1], [2,1,1,1], and [1,1,1,1,1] are 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, and 2, respectively (i.e., two 1s, three 2s, and two 3s).
