%N A119712 a(k) is the smallest integer n such that the k-th difference of the partition 
               sequence A000041 is positive from n onwards.
%C A119712 The first entry in considered to be indexed by zero. For example, the 
               third difference A072380 starts with -1,1 and continues alternating 
               in sign till the 24th entry, from which point it is positive.
%C A119712 Using a different definition of the difference operator, this sequence 
               has also been given as 1,8,26,68,134,228,352, etc
