Truncated theta series and partitions into distinct parts

Combinatorics 2020-06-16 v1

Abstract

Linear inequalities involving Euler's partition function p(n)p(n) have been the subject of recent studies. In this article, we consider the partition function Q(n)Q(n) counting the partitions of nn into distinct parts. Using truncated theta series, we provide four infinite families of linear inequalities for Q(n)Q(n) and partition theoretic interpretations for these results.
