A056219 Number of partitions of n in SPM(n): these are the partitions obtained from (n) by iteration of the following transformation: p -> p' if p' is a partition (i.e. decreasing) and p' is obtained from p by removing a unit from the i-th component of p and adding one to the i+1-th component, for any i. +0

COMMENT

The SPM (Sand Pile Model) originated in physics, where it is used as a paradigm for Self-Organized Criticality. Also used in computer science as a model of distributed behavior. It is a special case of Chip Firing Game, and more generally it can be viewed as a cellular automaton.

It is known that the sets SPM(n) have a lattice structure. An explicit formula is known for the (unique) fixed point of SPM(n), as well as a characterization of the elements of SPM(n).

FORMULA

Only complicated recursive formulae are known, see Latapy et al.

G.f.: 1+Sum_{n=1..infinity} x^(n*(n+1)/2)*Product_{k=1..n} (x+1/(1-x^k)). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Jun 09 2007

EXAMPLE

The fith term of the series is 5 since SPM(5) = { (5), (4,1), (3,2), (3,1,1), (2,2,1) }. The seventh term of the series is 9 since SPM(7) = { (7), (6,1), (5,2), (4,3), (5,1,1), (4,2,1), (3,3,1), (3,2,2), (3,2,1,1) }.
