Fixed perimeter analogues of some partition results

Abstract

Euler's partition identity states that the number of partitions of nn into odd parts is equal to the number of partitions of nn into distinct parts. Strikingly, Straub proved in 2016 that this identity also holds when counting partitions of any size with largest hook (perimeter) nn. This has inspired further investigation of partition identities and inequalities in the fixed perimeter setting. Here, we explore fixed perimeter analogues of some well-known partition results inspired by Euler's partition identity.
