Stabilization of coefficients for partition polynomials

Combinatorics 2013-07-05 v1

Abstract

We find that a wide variety of families of partition statistics stabilize in a fashion similar to pk(n)p_k(n), the number of partitions of n with k parts, which satisfies pk(n)=pk+1(n+1),kn/2p_k(n) = p_{k+1}(n + 1), k \geq n/2. We bound the regions of stabilization, discuss variants on the phenomenon, and give the limiting sequence in many cases as the coefficients of a single-variable generating function. Examples include many statistics that have an Euler product form, partitions with prescribed subsums, and plane overpartitions.
