We look at the number L(n) of O-sequences of length n. Recall that an Osequence can be defined algebraically as the Hilbert function of a standard graded k-algebra, or combinatorially as the f -vector of a multicomplex. The sequence L(n) was first investigated in a recent paper by commutative algebraists Enkosky and Stone, inspired by Huneke. In this note, we significantly improve both of their upper and lower bounds, by means of a very short partition-theoretic argument. In particular, it turns out that, for suitable positive constants c 1 and c 2 and all n > 2, e c1 √ n ≤ L(n) ≤ e c2 √ n log n .It remains an open problem to determine an exact asymptotic estimate for L(n).
