Asymptotics for the partial fractions of the restricted partition generating function II

Number Theory 2015-07-30 v1

Abstract

The generating function for pN(n)p_N(n), the number of partitions of nn into at most NN parts, may be written as a product of NN factors. In part I, we studied the behavior of coefficients in the partial fraction decomposition of this product as NN \to \infty by applying the saddle-point method to get the asymptotics of the main terms. In this second part we bound the error terms. This involves estimating products of sines and further saddle-point arguments. The saddle-points needed are associated to zeros of the analytically continued dilogarithm.
