1,2

If all positive numbers are replaced by 1 this becomes the characteristic partition array for partitions with parts 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 only, provided the partitions of n are ordered like in Abramowitz-Stegun (A-St order; for the reference see A134278).

Fifth member (K=5) in the family M31hat(-K) of partition number arrays.

The sequence of row lengths is A000041 (partition numbers) [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22, 30, 42,...].

This array is array A144879 divided entrywise by the array M_3=M3(1)=A036040. Formally 'A144879/A036040'. E.g. a(4,3)= 25 = 75/3 = A144879(4,3)/A036040(4,3).

If M31hat(-5;n,k) is summed over those k numerating partitions with fixed number of parts m one obtains the unsigned triangle S1hat(-5):= A145373.

a(n,k) = product(S1(-5;j,1)^e(n,k,j),j=1..n) with S1(-5;n,1) = A008279(5,n-1) = [1,5,20,60,120,120,0,0,0,...], n>=1 and the exponent e(n,k,j) of j in the k-th partition of n in the A-St ordering of the partitions of n.

[1];[5,1];[20,5,1];[60,20,25,5,1];[120,60,100,20,25,5,1];...

a(4,3)= 25 = S1(-4;2,1)^2. The relevant partition of 4 is (2^2).

First %C line: changed 'array for partition' into 'array for partitions'.Last %C line added after 'k': 'numerating partitions'. - Wolfdieter Lang (wolfdieter.lang(AT)physik.uni-karlsruhe.de), Nov 17 2008
