On the asymptotic distinct prime partitions of integers
Abstract
We discuss , the number of ways a given integer may be written as a sum of distinct primes, and study its asymptotic form valid in the limit . We obtain by Laplace inverting the fermionic partition function of primes, in number theory called the generating function of the distinct prime partitions, in the saddle-point approximation. We find that our result of , which includes two higher-order corrections to the leading term in its exponent and a pre-exponential correction factor, approximates the exact far better than its simple leading-order exponential form given so far in the literature.
