David,

if I interpret your definition of carry-free frequencies correctly, then
the number of carry-free partitions of n equals A018819
"Binary partition function: number of partitions of n into powers of 2".
Can you confirm?

It is quite easy to extend both sequences to 128 terms, and they are 
perfectly equal.
In the light of the above connection to A018819, the conjectured equality 
seems plausible if
you consider the implementation of the theta_2 in terms of products of 
x^2^d.

In Mathematica v. 10.0.1 : (*honni soit qui mal y pense *)

carryfree[{li__Integer}]:=Block[{m,freq}, 
freq=Sort[Map[Last,Tally[{li}]]];m=Max[freq];Max[Total[IntegerDigits[freq,2,1+Floor[Log[2,m]]]]]<2];
your definition :
Table[Count[IntegerPartitions[n,All, Table[ k (k+1) 
2,{k,2+Floor[Sqrt[2n  ]]}]],q_/;carryfree[q]],{n,128}]
{1,1,2,1,2,3,3,2,3,4,3,6,5,5,7,6,6,7,6,9,10, ... 
,237,221,220,246,225,242,262,243,249}

same as A033791 :

t[z_]:=Sum[z^(i (i+1)/2),{i,0,16}];
CoefficientList[Series[Product[t[x^2^d],{d,0,10}],{x,0,128}],x]

you just need to properly adapt the limits in the definition of t[z] (upto 
16) and in the product t[x^2^d] (up to 10) over d .

Nice find! Keep up the good work, David!

Wouter.

The sequence that I'm lookinh at is the number of partitions into summands
which are triangular numbers and frequencies satisfying the "no binary
carry" condition. A partition has the "no binary carry" condition if the
sum of all its frequencies, when written in binary notation has no carry.
