On the partitions of a number into arithmetic progressions
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 11 (2008) no. 5
The paper investigates the enumeration of the set $AP(n)$ of partitions of a positive integer $n$ in which the nondecreasing sequence of parts form an arithmetic progression. We establish formulas for such partitions, and characterize a class of integers $n$ with the property that the length of every member of $AP(n)$ divides $n$. We prove that the number of such integers is small.
