OEIS A000070: Partitions, Ferrers diagrams, one-transitions, and cycle subgraphs
About this episode
We dive into A000070, the cumulative partition-counting sequence. Beyond counting partitions of 0 through n, the entry reveals rich structure: Ferrers diagrams that illuminate the step to n+1, the poset of one-transitions between partitions, and a surprising graph-theory angle as the count of unlabeled subgraphs of the n-cycle. A compact tour of how a simple sequence connects number theory, combinatorics, and graph theory.
