COMMENT

Usually successive powers of 2, but "stutters" when n is power of 2. (G.f. must satisfy some interesting functional equations!). Empty partition of 0 defined as 1.

This is an instance of what I like to call "numbral theory": whenever you have a set of indexed objects that you can do some kind of arithmetic on, then the indices act as "shadows" of the objects and you can generally talk about lots of analogs, such as partitions, primes, even generating functions, etc. It would be worthwhile to systematically "fill out" the entries for as many of these systems as possible in the OEIS.

The "AND" version is just the all-ones sequence. - Christian G. Bower (bowerc(AT)usa.net), Jun 07 2005

FORMULA

a(n) = 2^[n-log2(n)-1] = A000079(n)/A062383(n). - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Nov 22 2001

EXAMPLE

a(5)=4 thus: 5 4+1 5+3+2+1 4+3+2 (where "+" = XOR)
