For integers $m \geq 2$, we study divergent continued fractions whose numerators and denominators in each of the $m$ arithmetic progressions modulo $m$ converge. Special cases give, among other things, an infinite sequence of divergence…
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…
The objective of the paper is to establish a computable upper bound for the almost sure convergence rate for a class of ratio consensus algorithms defined via column-stochastic matrices. Our result extends the works of Iutzeler et al.…
Let f be a polynomial with irrational leading coefficient. We obtain inequalities for the distance from the nearest integer of f(p) that hold for infinitely many primes p. These results improve work of Harman in 1981 and 1983 and Wong in…
$\newcommand{\floor}[1]{\left\lfloor {#1} \right\rfloor} \renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$ Tverberg's theorem states that a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$ can be partitioned into $\floor{n/(d+1)}$ sets with a common intersection. A point in…
The partial fraction expansion of coth($\pi$z), due to Euler, is generalized to power series having for coefficients the Riemann zeta function evaluated at certain arithmetic sequences. A further generalization using arbitrary Dirichlet…
In 1939, H. S. Zuckerman provided a Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher-type convergent series that can be used to compute an isolated value of the overpartition function $\overline{p}(n)$. Computing $\overline{p}(n)$ by this method requires…
The Rademacher random walk associated with a deterministic sequence $(a_n)_{n \geq 1}$ is the walk which starts at zero and, at step $i$, independently steps either up or down by $a_i$ with equal probability. We continue the study begun by…
Conjectures involving infinite families of restricted partition congruences can be difficult to verify for a number of individual cases, even with a computer. We demonstrate how the machinery of Radu's algorithm may be modified and employed…
Measure rigidity is a branch of ergodic theory that has recently contributed to the solution of some fundamental problems in number theory and mathematical physics. Examples are proofs of quantitative versions of the Oppenheim conjecture,…
In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula with an effective bound on the error term for the Andrews smallest parts function $\mathrm{spt}(n)$. We use this formula to prove recent conjectures of Chen concerning inequalities which…
The partition perimeter is a statistic defined to be one less than the sum of the number of parts and the largest part. Recently, Amdeberhan, Andrews, and Ballantine proved the following analog of Glaisher's theorem: for all $m \geq 2$ and…
We examine "partition zeta functions" analogous to the Riemann zeta function but summed over subsets of integer partitions. We prove an explicit formula for a family of partition zeta functions already shown to have nice properties -- those…
The generating function for $p_N(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ into at most $N$ parts, may be written as a product of $N$ factors. In part I, we studied the behavior of coefficients in the partial fraction decomposition of this…
Katugampola's 2015 study of generalized fractional differential operators produced triangular arrays of integer coefficients indexed by a fractional order r and by dimensions n and k, but no combinatorial interpretation has been established…
A typical decomposition question asks whether the edges of some graph $G$ can be partitioned into disjoint copies of another graph $H$. One of the oldest and best known conjectures in this area, posed by Ringel in 1963, concerns the…
We provide sufficient conditions for quantitative convergence of the iterates of proximal splitting algorithms for minimizing a sum of functions on a metric space. The theory does not assume that the functions have common minima, nor does…
We prove that any quasirandom graph with $n$ vertices and $rn$ edges can be decomposed into $n$ copies of any fixed tree with $r$ edges. The case of decomposing a complete graph establishes a conjecture of Ringel from 1963.
Following the ideas of Rosenbloom [7] and Hayman [5], Luis B\'aez-Duarte gives in [1] a probabilistic proof of Hardy-Ramanujan's asymptotic formula for the partitions of an integer. The main principle of the method relies on the convergence…
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…
