Denote the sum: m^n +m^n + ... + m^n, k times, by k*m^n (m > 1, n > 0 and k are positive integers). The general formula for the number of all partitions of the sum k*m^n into powers of m smaller than m^n, is t_m(n, k)= 1 when n=1 or k=0, or = t_m(n, k-1) + Sum_{j=1..m} t_m(n-1, (k-1)*n+j)}, when n > 1 and k > 0. A125801 is obtained for m=3 and n=1,2,3,... - Valentin Bakoev, Feb 20 2009

From Valentin Bakoev, Feb 20 2009: (Start)

Adding 1 to the terms of A125801 we obtain A078125.

For given m, the general formula for t_m(n, k) and the corresponding tables T, computed as in the example, determine a family of related sequences (placed in the rows or in the columns of T). For example, the sequences from the 3rd, 4th, etc. rows of the given table are not represented in the OEIS till now. (End)

a(n) = A145515(n+1,3)-1. - Alois P. Heinz, Feb 27 2009

To obtain t_3(5,1) we use the table T, defined as T(i,j) = t_3(i,j), for i=1,2,...,5(=n), and j=0,1,2,...,81(= k*m^{n-1}). It is 1,1,1,1,1,1,...1; 1,4,7,10,13,...,82; 1,22,70,145,247,376,532,715,925,1162; 1,238,1393,4195; 1,5827; Column 1 contains the first 5 terms of A125801. - Valentin Bakoev, Feb 20 2009
