Comments

Equivalently, a(n) = number of sums S of positive integers satisfying S <= n.

Equivalently, first differences give A000041. - Jacques ALARDET, Aug 04 2008, Aug 15 2008

For the partial sums of the partitions numbers of nonnegative integers A001477 see A000070. - Omar E. Pol, Nov 12 2011

Also number of parts in all regions of n that contain 1 as a part (Cf. A206437). - Omar E. Pol, Mar 11 2012

Also the number of graph minors of the path graph P_n (not counting the null graph). - Eric W. Weisstein, Apr 29 2022

Formula

a(n) = A000070(n) - 1, n >= 1.

a(n) ~ exp(Pi*sqrt(2*n/3)) / (2^(3/2)*Pi*sqrt(n)) * (1 + 11*Pi/(24*sqrt(6*n))). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 25 2016

G.f.: -1/(1 - x) + (1/(1 - x))*Product_{k>=1} 1/(1 - x^k). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Dec 25 2016
