COMMENTS
Partitions into distinct parts are sometimes called "strict partitions".
The result that number of partitions of n into distinct parts = number of partitions of n into odd parts is due to Euler.
Bijection: given n = L1* 1 + L2*3 + L3*5 + L7*7 + ..., a partition into odd parts, write each Li in binary, Li = 2^a1 + 2^a2 + 2^a3 + ... where the aj's are all different, then expand n = (2^a1 * 1 + ...)*1 + ... by removing the brackets and we get a partition into distinct parts. For the reverse operation, just keep splitting any even number into halves until no evens remain.
Euler transform of period 2 sequence [1,0,1,0,...]. - Michael Somos, Dec 16 2002
Number of different partial sums 1+[1,2]+[1,3]+[1,4]+..., where [1,x] indicates a choice. E.g., a(6)=4, as we can write 1+1+1+1+1+1, 1+2+3, 1+2+1+1+1, 1+1+3+1. - Jon Perry, Dec 31 2003
a(n) is the sum of the number of partitions of x_j into at most j parts, where j is the index for the j-th triangular number and n-T(j)=x_j. For example; a(12)=partitions into <= 4 parts of 12-T(4)=2 + partitions into <= 3 parts of 12-T(3)=6 + partitions into <= 2 parts of 12-T(2)=9 + partitions into 1 part of 12-T(1)=11 = (2)(11) + (6)(51)(42)(411)(33)(321)(222) + (9)(81)(72)(63)(54)+(11) = 2+7+5+1 = 15. - Jon Perry, Jan 13 2004
Number of partitions of n where if k is the largest part, all parts 1..k are present. - Jon Perry, Sep 21 2005
Jack Grahl and Franklin T. Adams-Watters prove this claim of Jon Perry's by observing that the Ferrers dual of a "gapless" partition is guaranteed to have distinct parts; since the Ferrers dual is an involution, this establishes a bijection between the two sets of partitions. - Allan C. Wechsler, Sep 28 2021
The number of connected threshold graphs having n edges. - Michael D. Barrus (mbarrus2(AT)uiuc.edu), Jul 12 2007

Number of partitions of n in which the largest part occurs an odd number of times and all other parts occur an even number of times. (Such partitions are the duals of the partitions with odd parts.) - David Wasserman, Mar 04 2009
Considering all partitions of n into distinct parts: there are A140207(n) partitions of maximal size which is A003056(n), and A051162(n) is the greatest number occurring in these partitions. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 13 2009
Number of symmetric unimodal compositions of n+1 where the maximal part appears once. Also number of symmetric unimodal compositions of n where the maximal part appears an odd number of times. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 11 2013
Because for these partitions the exponents of the parts 1, 2, ... are either 0 or 1 (j^0 meaning that part j is absent) one could call these partitions also 'fermionic partitions'. The parts are the levels, that is the positive integers, and the occupation number is either 0 or 1 (like Pauli's exclusion principle). The 'fermionic states' are denoted by these partitions of n. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 14 2014
The set of partitions containing only odd parts forms a monoid under the product described in comments to A047993. - Richard Locke Peterson, Aug 16 2018
a(n) equals the number of permutations p of the set {1,2,...,n+1}, written in one line notation as p = p_1p_2...p_(n+1), satisfying p_(i+1) - p_i <= 1 for 1 <= i <= n, (i.e., those permutations that, when read from left to right, never increase by more than 1) whose major index maj(p) := Sum_{p_i > p_(i+1)} i equals n. For example, of the 16 permutations on 5 letters satisfying p_(i+1) - p_i <= 1, 1 <= i <= 4, there are exactly two permutations whose major index is 4, namely, 5 3 4 1 2 and 2 3 4 5 1. Hence a(4) = 2. See the Bala link in A007318 for a proof. - Peter Bala, Mar 30 2022
Conjecture: Each positive integer n can be written as a_1 + ... + a_k, where a_1,...,a_k are strict partition numbers (i.e., terms of the current sequence) with no one dividing another. This has been verified for n = 1..1350. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Apr 14 2023
Conjecture: For each integer n > 7, a(n) divides none of p(n), p(n) - 1 and p(n) + 1, where p(n) is the number of partitions of n given by A000041. This has been verified for n up to 10^5. - Zhi-Wei Sun, May 20 2023 [Verified for n <= 2*10^6. - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 23 2023]
The g.f. Product_{k >= 0} 1 + x^k = Product_{k >= 0} 1 - x^k + 2*x^k == Product_{k >= 0} 1 - x^k == Sum_{k in Z} (-1)^k*x^(k*(3*k-1)/2) (mod 2) by Euler's pentagonal number theorem. It follows that a(n) is odd iff n = k*(3*k - 1)/2 for some integer k, i.e., iff n is a generalized pentagonal number A001318. - Peter Bala, Jan 07 2025
The 2023 New Zealand Mathematical Olympiad, Round Two, Problem 4, asks whether there are infinitely many positive integers m such that a(m) = a(m+1). In fact, a(n) = a(n+1) iff n = 0, 1, 3, while a(n) < a(n+1) for every n >= 4. See the official problem and solution in link. - Bernard Schott, Oct 08 2026

A problem posed by François Viète (Vieta) in his book Zeteticorum liber quinque (1593), liber 2, problem 19 (quoted in the Alten et al. reference, on p. 292) is to find for a rectangle (a >= b >= 1) with given a^3 - b^3, name it C, and a*b, name it F, the difference a-b, name it x. This is a simple exercise which Viète found remarkable. It reduces to a standard cubic equation for x, namely x^3 + 3*F*x = C. Proof: Use the square of the diagonal d^2 = a^2 + b^2. Then (i) C = a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)*(a^2 + b^2 + a*b) = x*(d^2 + F). (ii) use the trivial relation d^2 = (a-b)^2 + 2*a*b = x^2 + 2*F, to eliminate d^2 in (i). End of the Proof. Here for positive integers a = n and b = k: (T(n, k)^2 + 3* A079904(n, k))*T(n, k) = A257238(n, k) (also true for n = k = 0). - Wolfdieter Lang, May 12 2015
See a comment on A051162 on the cubic equation for S = a+b in terms of Cplus = a^3 + b^3 and D = a - b. This equation leads to a - b = sqrt((4*Cplus -S^3)/(3*S)). - Wolfdieter Lang, May 15 2015

COMMENTS
Also, 3 times triangular numbers, a(n) = 3* A000217(n).
In the 24-bit RGB color cube, the number of color-lattice-points in r+g+b = n planes at n < 256 equals the triangular numbers. For n = 256, ..., 765 the number of legitimate color partitions is less than A000217(n) because {r,g,b} components cannot exceed 255. For n = 256, ..., 511, the number of non-color partitions are computable with A045943(n-255), while for n = 512, ..., 765, the number of color points in r+g+b planes equals A000217(765-n). - Labos Elemer, Jun 20 2005
If a 3-set Y and an (n-3)-set Z are disjoint subsets of an n-set X then a(n-3) is the number of 3-subsets of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan Janjic, Sep 19 2007
a(n) is also the smallest number that may be written both as the sum of n-1 consecutive positive integers and n consecutive positive integers. - Claudio Meller, Oct 08 2010

T(n,k) is also the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of 2*n+1 into 2*k+1 parts which are all odd. Proof: The o.g.f. of column k, x^k/(1-x)^(2*k+1) for k >= 0, is the o.g.f. of the odd-indexed members of the sequence with o.g.f. (x/(1-x^2))^(2*k+1) (bisection, odd part). Thus T(n,k) is obtained from the sum of the multinomial numbers A048996 for the partitions of 2*n+1 into 2*k+1 parts, all of which are odd. E.g., T(3,1) = 3 + 3 from the numbers for the partitions [1,1,5] and [1,3,3], namely 3!/(2!*1!) and 3!/(1!*2!), respectively. The number triangle with the number of these partitions as entries is A152157. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 09 2012

For example, for n = 4, (1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x))/(2*sqrt(1 + 4*x)) * ((1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x))/2)^8 = (x^4 + 10*x^3 + 15*x^2 + 7*x + 1) + O(x^5). - Peter Bala, Feb 23 2018

It appears that the largest root of the n-th degree polynomial is equal to the sum of the distinct diagonals of a (2*n+1)-gon including the edge, 1. The largest root of x^3 - 6*x^2 + 5*x - 1 is 5.048917... = the sum of (1 + 1.80193... + 2.24697...). Alternatively, the largest root of the n-th degree polynomial is equal to the square of sigma(2*n+1). Check: 5.048917... is the square of sigma(7), 2.24697.... Given N = 2*n+1, sigma(N) (N odd) can be defined as 1/(2*sin(Pi/(2*N))). Relating to the 9-gon, the largest root of x^4 - 10*x^3 + 15*x^2 - 7*x + 1 is 8.290859..., = the sum of (1 + 1.879385... + 2.532088... + 2.879385...), and is the square of sigma(9), 2.879385...

COMMENTS
Suppose that p=p(0)*x^n+p(1)*x^(n-1)+...+p(n-1)*x+p(n) is a polynomial of positive degree and that Q is a sequence of polynomials: q(k,x)=t(k,0)*x^k+t(k,1)*x^(k-1)+...+t(k,k-1)*x+t(k,k), for k=0,1,2,... The Q-downstep of p is the polynomial given by D(p)=p(0)*q(n-1,x)+p(1)*q(n-2,x)+...+p(n-1)*q(0,x)+p(n).
Since degree(D(p))<degree(p), the result of n applications of D is a constant, which we call the Q-residue of p. If p is a constant to begin with, we define D(p)=p.
Example: let p(x)=2*x^3+3*x^2+4*x+5 and q(k,x)=(x+1)^k.
D(p)=2(x+1)^2+3(x+1)+4(1)+5=2x^2+7x+14
D(D(p))=2(x+1)+7(1)+14=2x+23
D(D(D(p)))=2(1)+23=25;
the Q-residue of p is 25.
We may regard the sequence Q of polynomials as the triangular array formed by coefficients:
t(0,0)
t(1,0)....t(1,1)
t(2,0)....t(2,1)....t(2,2)
t(3,0)....t(3,1)....t(3,2)....t(3,3)
and regard p as the vector (p(0),p(1),...,p(n)). If P is a sequence of polynomials [or triangular array having (row n)=(p(0),p(1),...,p(n))], then the Q-residues of the polynomials form a numerical sequence.
Following are examples in which Q is the triangle given by t(i,j)=1 for 0<=i<=j:
Q.....P...................Q-residue of P
1.....1................... A000079, 2^n
1....(x+1)^n.............. A007051, (1+3^n)/2
1....(x+2)^n.............. A034478, (1+5^n)/2
1....(x+3)^n.............. A034494, (1+7^n)/2
More examples:
Q...........P.............Q-residue of P
(x+1)^n...(x+1)^n......... A000110, Bell numbers
(k+1).....(k+1)........... A001906 (even-ind. Fib. nos.)
(In these last four, (k+1) represents the triangle t(n,k)=k+1, 0<=k<=n.)
Changing the notation slightly leads to the Mathematica program below and the following formulation for the Q-downstep of p: first, write t(n,k) as q(n,k). Define r(k)=Sum{q(k-1,i)*r(k-1-i) : i=0,1,...,k-1} Then row n of D(p) is given by v(n)=Sum{p(n,k)*r(n-k) : k=0,1,...,n}.
