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. 7

%C 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.

%C 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).
