FORMULA
EXAMPLE
a(10) = 288 = (4! * 3! * 2! * 1!) is the value for partition [4,3,2,1]. All other partitions of 10 into distinct parts give larger values: [5,3,2]-> 1440, [5,4,1]-> 2880, [6,3,1]-> 4320, [6,4]-> 17280, [7,2,1]-> 10080, [7,3]-> 30240, [8,2]-> 80640, [9,1]-> 362880, [10]-> 3628800.
MAPLE
b:= proc(n, i) option remember; `if`(n>i*(i+1)/2, infinity,
`if`(n=0, 1, min(b(n, i-1), b(n-i, min(n-i, i-1))*i!)))
end:
a:= n-> b(n$2):
seq(a(n), n=0..30);
# second Maple program:
a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, a(n-1)*
(t-> t*(t+3)/2-n+2)(floor(sqrt(8*n-7)/2-1/2)))
end:
seq(a(n), n=0..30); # Alois P. Heinz, Aug 05 2017
