The maximum number of singletons is therefore 3. Alternatively, number of set partitions of n+2 with at least one singleton and the largest element in any singleton is exactly 3 (or n+2 if n+2<3). For example, a(3)=7 counts the following set partitions of [5]: {1245, 3}, {12, 3, 45}, {124, 3, 5}, {15, 24, 3}, {125, 3, 4}, {14, 25, 3}, {12, 3, 4, 5} - Olivier GERARD (olivier.gerard(AT)gmail.com), Oct 29 2007 %C A011968 Let V(N)={v(1),v(2),...,v(N)} denote an ordered set of increasing positive integers containing a pair of adjacent elements that differ by at least 2, that is, v(i),v(i+1) with v(i+1)-v(i)>1. Then for n>0, a(n) is the number of partitions of V(n+1) into blocks of nonconsecutive integers. - Augustine O.
