Partitions with parity restrictions: a bijective approach

Combinatorics 2026-07-03 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

There has been recent interest in integer partitions whose parts satisfy parity restrictions: for example, those where all the odd parts are distinct, or those where all the even parts are larger than the odd parts. Often results about such partitions have been obtained by algebraic manipulation of generating functions. We show that a number of these identities can be proved in a bijective, and sometimes simpler, manner.
