Fibonacci-like property of partition function

Number Theory 2023-08-15 v1

Abstract

The main result of the paper is the Fibonacci-like property of the partition function. The partition function p(n)p(n) has a property: p(n)p(n1)+p(n2)p(n) \leq p(n-1) + p(n-2). Our result shows that if we impose certain restrictions on the partition, then the inequality becomes an equality. Furthermore, we extend this result to cases with a greater number of summands.
