A partition n = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_k with 1 <= p_1 <= p_2 <= ... <= p_k is
called non-squashing if p_1 + ... + p_j <= p_{j+1} for 1 <= j <= k-1.
Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that the number of non-squashing partitions of n
is equal to the number of binary partitions of n. Here we exhibit an explicit
bijection between the two families, and determine the number of non-squashing
partitions with distinct parts, with a specified number of parts, or with a
specified maximal part. We use the results to solve a certain box-stacking
problem.Comment: 15 pages, 2 fig
