    Let nn be a positive integer, and let AA be a subset of {1,…,n}\{1, \ldots, n\}. An AA-partition of nn into kk parts is a representation of nn as a sum n=a1+⋯+akn=a_{1}+\cdots+a_{k}, where the parts a1,…,aka_{1}, \ldots, a_{k} belong to AA and are not necessarily distinct. The number of different parts in such a partition is the number of (distinct) elements in the set {a1,a2,…,ak}\left\{a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{k}\right\}. We say that an AA-partition of nn into kk parts is optimal if there is no AA-partition of nn into rr parts with r<kr<k. Prove that any optimal AA-partition of nn contains at most 6n3\sqrt[3]{6 n} different parts. (Germany)
