Building on work of Hardy and Ramanujan, Rademacher proved a well-known formula for the values of the ordinary partition function $p(n)$. More recently, Bruinier and Ono obtained an algebraic formula for these values. Here we study the…

Inspired by Armin Straub's conjecture (arXiv:1601.07161) about the number and maximal size of (2n+1, 2n+3)-core partitions with distinct parts, we develop relatively efficient, symbolic-computational algorithms, based on non-linear…

We generalize the asymptotic estimates by Bubboloni, Luca and Spiga (2012) on the number of $k$-compositions of $n$ satisfying some coprimality conditions. We substantially refine the error term concerning the number of $k$-compositions of…

We give a formula for the determinant of an $n\times n$ matrix with entries from a commutative ring with unit. The formula can be evaluated by a "straight-line program" performing only additions, subtractions and multiplications of ring…

Stanley defined a partition function t(n) as the number of partitions $\lambda$ of n such that the number of odd parts of $\lambda$ is congruent to the number of odd parts of the conjugate partition $\lambda'$ modulo 4. We show that t(n)…

The charge functions for n-dimensional partitions are known for n=2,3,4 in the literature. We give the expression for arbitrary odd dimension in a recent work, and now further conjecture a formula for all even dimensional cases. This…

Andrews, Lewis and Lovejoy introduced the partition function $PD(n)$ as the number of partitions of $n$ with designated summands. In a recent work, Lin studied a partition function $PD_{t}(n)$ which counts the number of tagged parts over…

In this paper we explore Kruyswijk's method and show how to obtain congruences for cubic partition. That apart we also examine inequalities for a(n) and provide upper bound for it in the fashion of the classic partition function p(n).

Using elementary methods, we prove new formulas for $\operatorname{pp}(n)$, the number of plane partitions of $n$, $\operatorname{pp}_r(n)$, the number of plane partitions of $n$ with at most $r$ rows, $\operatorname{pp}^s(n)$, the number…

We give an optimal necessary and sufficient condition for the quotient polynomial and remainder in the division algorithm to have positive coefficients.

We investigate the diagonal generating function of the Jacobi-Stirling numbers of the second kind $ \JS(n+k,n;z)$ by generalizing the analogous results for the Stirling and Legendre-Stirling numbers. More precisely, letting…

Let $K=\mathbb Q(\theta)$ be an algebraic number field with $\theta$ a root of an irreducible trinomial $f(x)=x^6+ax+b$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$. In this paper, for each prime number $p$ we compute the highest power of $p$ dividing the…

For two sets $A$ and $M$ of positive integers and for a positive integer $n$, let $p(n,A,M)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in $A$ and multiplicities in $M$, that is, the number of representations of $n$ in the form…

Consideration of a classification of the number of partitions of a natural number according to the members of sub-partitions differing from unity leads to a non-recursive formula for the number of irreducible representations of the…

The paper aims to establish the Tur\'an inequalities, the Laguerre inequalities (order $2$), and the determinantal inequalities (order $3$) for $\Delta p(n)$ and $\Delta \bar{p}(n)$, where $\Delta f(n)$ is the first-order forward difference…

In this note, we represent integers in a type of factoradic notation. Rather than use the corresponding Lehmer code, we will view integers as permutations. Given a pair of integers n and k, we give a formula for n mod k in terms of the…

In 1917, Hardy and Ramanujan obtained the asymptotic formula for the classical partition function $p(n)$. The classical partition function $p(n)$ has been extensively studied. Recently, Luca and Ralaivaosaona obtained the asymptotic formula…

Using $P(n,m)$, the number of integer partitions of $n$ into exactly $m$ parts, which was the subject of an earlier paper, $P(n,m,p)$, the number of integer partitions of $n$ into exactly $m$ parts with each part at most $p$, can be…

For fixed $m$ and $R\subseteq \{0,1,\ldots,m-1\}$, take $A$ to be the set of positive integers congruent modulo $m$ to one of the elements of $R$, and let $p_A(n)$ be the number of ways to write $n$ as a sum of elements of $A$. Nathanson…

Consider the set $\{1,2,\ldots,3n\}$. We are interested in the number of partitions of this set into subsets of three elements each, where the sum of two of them equals the third. We give some criteria such a partition has to fulfill, which…
