A generalization of Franklin's partition identity and a Beck-type companion identity

Number Theory 2024-10-24 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Euler's classic partition identity states that the number of partitions of nn into odd parts equals the number of partitions of nn into distinct parts. We develop a new generalization of this identity, which yields a previous generalization of Franklin as a special case, and prove an accompanying Beck-type companion identity.
