For any positive integers $s$ and $t$, let $Q_{t}^{s}(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ into distinct parts such that no part is congruent to $s$ or $t-s$ modulo $t$. We prove some Ramanujan-type congruences for…

In this paper, we introduce a natural geometric extension of the partition function. More precisely, we investigate the problem of counting partitions of a rectangle into rectangular blocks with integer sides. Here, two partitions of a…

We generalize the well known Glaisher partition bijection result. For given positive integers n, d, both greater than 1, we provide a rich family of bijections between the set of partitions of n where at least one part is divisible by d,…

In this paper, we investigate the combinatorial properties of three classes of integer partitions: (1) $s$-modular partitions, a class consisting of partitions into parts with a number of occurrences (i.e., multiplicity) congruent to $0$ or…

Recently, Andrews introduced separable integer partition classes and studied some well-known theorems. In this atricle, we will investigate six types of partitions from the view of the point of separable integer partition classes.

Unrefinable partitions are a subset of partitions into distinct parts which satisfy an additional unrefinability property. More precisely, being an unrefinable partition means that none of the parts can be written as the sum of smaller…

Recently, Andrews and EI Bachraoui discovered several companions for some famous $q$-series formulas, and derived some new identities involving partitions and overpartitions with distinct parts. In this paper, we shall refine their results…

Let A and M be nonempty sets of positive integers. A partition of the positive integer n with parts in A and multiplicities in M is a representation of n in the form n = \sum_{a\in A} m_a a, where m_a is in M U {0} for all a in A, and m_a…

For a partition $\lambda \vdash n$, we let $\operatorname{pd}(\lambda)$, the parity difference of $\lambda$, be the number of odd parts of $\lambda$ minus the number of even parts of $\lambda$. We prove for $c_0\in\mathbb{R}$ an asymptotic…

A special case of an elegant result due to Anderson proves that the number of $(s,s+1)$-core partitions is finite and is given by the Catalan number $C_s$. Amdeberhan recently conjectured that the number of $(s,s+1)$-core partitions into…

Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…

In this paper, we present a generalization of one of the theorems in [G. E. Andrews, Partitions with parts separated by parity, \textit{Annals of Combinatorics} \textbf{23}(2019), 241 - 248], and give its bijective proof. Further variations…

We prove a family of partition identities which is "dual" to the family of Andrews-Gordon's identities. These identities are inspired by a correspondence between a special type of partitions and "hypergraphs" and their proof uses…

Recent results by Andrews and Merca on the number of even parts in all partitions of n into distinct parts, a(n), were derived via generating functions. This paper extends these results to the number of parts divisible by k in all the…

Andrews and El Bachraoui recently studied integer partitions where the smallest part is repeated a specified number of times and any other parts are distinct. Their results included two ``surprising identities'' for which they requested…

The Dyson rank of an integer partition is the difference between its largest part and the number of parts it contains. Using Fine-Dyson symmetry, we give formulas for the number of partitions of n with rank larger than n/2, and we prove…

In a work of 1995, Alladi, Andrews, and Gordon provided a generalization of the two Capparelli identities involving certain classes of integer partitions. Inspired by that contribution, in particular as regards the general setting and the…

The number partitioning problem consists of partitioning a sequence of positive numbers ${a_1,a_2,..., a_N}$ into two disjoint sets, ${\cal A}$ and ${\cal B}$, such that the absolute value of the difference of the sums of $a_j$ over the two…

Given a sequence $S=(s_1,\dots,s_m) \in [0, 1]^m$, a block $B$ of $S$ is a subsequence $B=(s_i,s_{i+1},\dots,s_j)$. The size $b$ of a block $B$ is the sum of its elements. It is proved in [1] that for each positive integer $n$, there is a…
