We generalize the method of combinatorial telescoping to the case of multiple summations. We shall demonstrate this idea by giving combinatorial proofs for two identities of Andrews on parity indices of partitions.
We present a method for proving q-series identities by combinatorial telescoping, in the sense that one can transform a bijection or a classification of combinatorial objects into a telescoping relation. We shall illustrate this method by…
We provide combinatorial tools inspired by work of Warnaar to give combinatorial interpretations of the sum sides of the Andrews-Gordon and Bressoud identities. More precisely, we give an explicit weight- and length-preserving bijection…
Recently Andrews and Bachraoui proved identities relating certain restricted partitions into distinct even parts with restricted 4-regular partitions by the theory of basic hypergeometric series. They also posed a question regarding…
We examine an identity originally stated in Ramanujan's ``lost notebook'' and first proven algebraically by Andrews and combinatorially by Kim. We give two independent combinatorial proofs and interpretations of this identity, which also…
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…
Partitions with distinct even parts have long been the subject of extensive research. In this paper, We present some new perspectives on such partitions from a combinatorial viewpoint, and connect them with signed partitions and bicolored…
Recently, Andrews and EI Bachraoui obtained several iden tities on two-colored partitions. While solving open problems they posed, Chen and Zhou derived a number of identities using analytic methods and asked for combinatorial proofs. In…
We propose and recursively prove polynomial identities which imply Capparelli's partition theorems. We also find perfect companions to the results of Andrews, and Alladi, Andrews and Gordon involving $q$-trinomial coefficients. We follow…
In a recent work, Andrews gave analytic proofs of two conjectures concerning some variations of two combinatorial identities between partitions of a positive integer into odd parts and partitions into distinct parts discovered by Beck.…
Based on a bijection due to Fu and Tang, we provide combinatorial proofs of several partition identities of Andrews and Merca. We also introduce two weights for partitions to extend one of these identities.
We present a new partition identity and give a combinatorial proof of our result. This generalizes a result of Andrew's in which he considers the generation function for partitions with respect to size, number of odd parts, and number of…
Recently, Andrews and El Bachraoui (2024) proved three very interesting $q$-series identities, from which three simple looking identities involving certain restricted partitions into distinct even parts and $4$-regular partitions follow. In…
We give a proof of a recent combinatorial conjecture due to the first author, which was discovered in the framework of commutative algebra. This result gives rise to new companions to the famous Andrews-Gordon identities. Our tools involve…
We prove combinatorially some identities related to Euler's partition identity (the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts equals the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts). They were conjectured by Beck and proved by Andrews…
We give "hybrid" proofs of the $q$-binomial theorem and other identities. The proofs are "hybrid" in the sense that we use partition arguments to prove a restricted version of the theorem, and then use analytic methods (in the form of the…
Recently, Andrews and El Bachraoui considered the number of integer partitions whose smallest part is repeated exactly $k$ times and the remaining parts are not repeated. They presented several interesting results and posed questions…
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…
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…
In his paper, "On a Partition Function of Richard Stanley," George Andrews proves a certain partition identity analytically and asks for a combinatorial proof. This paper provides the requested combinatorial proof.
