I'd like someone to check my numbers before I propose this sequence.
Let a(n) be the number of planar partitions whose summands are
distinct going across rows and have distinct frequencies going down columns.
I get a(1)=1, a(2)=2, a(3)=3, a(4)=5, a(5)=9, a(6)=14, a(7)=21 for the
values that I've computed by hand.
For example the allowed partitions of 6 are:
6
5 1
4 2
4
1
1
3 3
3 2 1
3 1
1
1
3

Question: Can every ordinary, unrestricted partition be written as a planar
partition of this sort? If not, what is the smallest n for which there is
an unrestricted partition which cannot be written as a planar partition of
this sort?
