Abstract

Euler's theorem asserts that A(n)=B(n)A(n)=B(n) where A(n)A(n) is the number of partitions of nn into distinct parts and B(n)B(n) is the number of partitions of nn into odd parts. In this paper, it is proved that for n>0n>0, \begin{align*} A(n)=B(n)=C(n+1)=\frac{1}{2}D(n+1), \end{align*} where C(n)C(n) is the number of partitions of nn with largest part even and parts not exceeding half of the largest part are distinct, and D(n)D(n) is the number of partitions of nn into non-negative parts wherein the smallest part appear exactly twice and no other parts are repeated.
