The spin of an integer partition. The Ferrers shape of an integer partition $\lambda$ can be decomposed into border strips. The spin is then defined to be the total number of crossings of border strips of $\lambda$ with the vertical lines in the Ferrers shape. The following example is taken from Appendix B in [1]: Let $\lambda = (5,5,4,4,2,1)$. Removing the border strips successively yields the sequence of partitions $$(5,5,4,4,2,1), (4,3,3,1), (2,2), (1), ().$$ The first strip $(5,5,4,4,2,1) \setminus (4,3,3,1)$ crosses $4$ times, the second strip $(4,3,3,1) \setminus (2,2)$ crosses $3$ times, the strip $(2,2) \setminus (1)$ crosses $1$ time, and the remaining strip $(1) \setminus ()$ does not cross. This yields the spin of $(5,5,4,4,2,1)$ to be $4+3+1 = 8$.

The dinv adjustment of an integer partition. The Ferrers shape of an integer partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)$ can be decomposed into border strips. For $0 \leq j < \lambda_1$ let $n_j$ be the length of the border strip starting at $(\lambda_1-j,0)$. The dinv adjustment is then defined by $$\sum_{j:n_j > 0}(\lambda_1-1-j).$$ The following example is taken from Appendix B in [2]: Let $\lambda=(5,5,4,4,2,1)$. Removing the border strips successively yields the sequence of partitions $$(5,5,4,4,2,1),(4,3,3,1),(2,2),(1),(),$$ and we obtain $(n_0,\ldots,n_4) = (10,7,0,3,1)$. The dinv adjustment is thus $4+3+1+0 = 8$.

The number of lower covers of a partition in dominance order. According to [1], Corollary 2.4, the maximum number of elements one element (apparently for $n\neq 2$) can cover is $$ \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{1+8n}-3) $$ and an element which covers this number of elements is given by $(c+i,c,c-1,\dots,3,2,1)$, where $1\leq i\leq c+2$.

The number of distinct even parts of a partition. See Section 3.3.1 of [1].

Half of the largest even part of an integer partition. The largest even part is recorded by [[St000995]].

The degree of the cyclic sieving polynomial corresponding to an integer partition. Let $\lambda$ be an integer partition of $n$ and let $N$ be the least common multiple of the parts of $\lambda$. Fix an arbitrary permutation $\pi$ of cycle type $\lambda$. Then $\pi$ induces a cyclic action of order $N$ on $\{1,\dots,n\}$. The corresponding character can be identified with the cyclic sieving polynomial $C_\lambda(q)$ of this action, modulo $q^N-1$. Explicitly, it is $$ \sum_{p\in\lambda} [p]_{q^{N/p}}, $$ where $[p]_q = 1+\dots+q^{p-1}$ is the $q$-integer. This statistic records the degree of $C_\lambda(q)$. Equivalently, it equals $$ \left(1 - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right) N, $$ where $\lambda_1$ is the largest part of $\lambda$. The statistic is undefined for the empty partition.

The largest part of an integer partition.

The largest part of an integer composition.

The minimum of the number of parts and the size of the first part of an integer partition. This is also an upper bound on the maximal number of non-attacking rooks that can be placed on the Ferrers board.

The number of real roots of the characteristic polynomial of a linear recurrence associated with an integer partition. Consider the recurrence $$f(n)=\sum_{p\in\lambda} f(n-p).$$ This statistic returns the number of distinct real roots of the associated characteristic polynomial. For example, the partition $(2,1)$ corresponds to the recurrence $f(n)=f(n-1)+f(n-2)$ with associated characteristic polynomial $x^2-x-1$, which has two real roots.
