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).

Product[(1+z*q^n),{n,0Infinity}]=Sum[A[n]*z^n=1+Sum[q^(n(n-1)/2)*z^n/Product[(1-q^k),(k,1,n}],{n,1,Infinity}]

with recursion:

A[n]=q^(n-1)/(1-q^n)*A[n-1]

q^(n(n-1)/2)*z^n/Product[(1-q^k),(k,1,n}]=q^(n*(n + 1))/2*Product[q +1/(1 - q^k), {k, 1, n}], {n, 1, Infinity}]

One can solve for z:

Solve[q^(n(n - 1)/2)*z^n/Product[(1 - q^k), {k, 1, n}] == q^(n*(n + 1))/2*Product[q + 1/(1 - q^k), {k, 1, n}], z]

and the recursion is:

A[n]=x^n*(x+1/(1+x^n))*A[n-1]

For:

Sum[A[n],{n,0,Infinity]]=1 + Sum[x^(n*(n + 1))/2*Product[x + 1/(1 -x^k),{k, 1, n}], {n, 1, Infinity}].

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.rs), 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) }.
