An Identity for the Partition Function Involving Parts of k Different Magnitudes

Number Theory 2018-06-22 v2

Abstract

Using previous work by Merca, we show the partition function involving parts of k different magnitudes, shifted by the triangular numbers, equals the self convolution of the unrestricted partition function. We also provide a combinatorial proof of this result.
