COMMENT

a(n)= the number of different ways to run up a staircase with n steps, taking steps of distinct sizes where the order matters and there is no other restriction on the number or the size of each step taken. - Mohammad K. Azarian (azarian(AT)evansville.edu), May 21 2008

FORMULA

"AGK" (ordered, elements, unlabeled) transform of 1, 1, 1, 1...

G.f.: Sum(k >= 0; k! x^((k^2+k)/2) / Prod(1<=j<=k; 1-x^j)) - David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net) May 04 2000

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 11 because 6 = 5+1 = 4+2 = 3+2+1 = 3+1+2 = 2+4 = 2+3+1 = 2+1+3 = 1+5 = 1+3+2 = 1+2+3
