OEIS A022629, NAME (unpaginated): “Expansion of Product_{m>=1} (1 + m*q^m).” The coefficient index n ranges over all natural numbers, including zero. Only factors with index at most n contribute to degree n; the empty product gives a(0) = 1.

OEIS A022629, FORMULA (unpaginated): “Conjecture: log(a(n)) ~ sqrt(n/2) * (log(2*n) - 2).” The symbol ~ means that the real quotient tends to one along all natural indices. Real.log and real division are total at the finitely many indices where their usual positive-domain interpretation does not apply.

Commentary.
For every fixed natural exponent r at least one, the degree-n coefficient of the displayed polynomial product has the same ratio limit, with an additional factor r in the denominator. This theorem also supplies the limits for exponents two, three, four and five.

Commentary.
A distinct partition whose parts are almost the first M positive integers contributes at least the r-th power of M factorial, where M is the largest index with M(M+1)/2 at most n. Every individual partition has controlled product, and the logarithm of the number of distinct partitions is at most twice the square root of n. The resulting two-sided estimates differ from r times the square root of 2n times (the logarithm of that square root minus one) by at most a constant depending on r times the square root of n. Dividing by the displayed denominator proves the ratio limit. This does not identify an additive second term or a coefficient prefactor.
