A353845

Number of integer partitions of n such that if you repeatedly take the multiset of run-sums (or condensation), you eventually reach an empty set or singleton.

COMMENTS

Every sequence can be uniquely split into a sequence of non-overlapping runs. For example, the runs of (2,2,1,1,1,3,2,2) are ((2,2),(1,1,1),(3),(2,2)), with sums (4,3,3,4).

EXAMPLE

The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 8 partitions:

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)

(11) (111) (22) (11111) (33) (1111111) (44)

(211) (222) (422)

(1111) (3111) (2222)

(111111) (4211)

(41111)

(221111)

(11111111)

For example, the partition (3,2,2,2,1,1,1) has trajectory: (1,1,1,2,2,2,3) -> (3,3,6) -> (6,6) -> (12), so is counted under a(12).
