Several combinatorial identities are presented, involving Stirling functions of the second kind with a complex variable. The identities involve also Stirling numbers of the first kind, binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers.

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).

Many identities written by $P=S=C$ are obtained, where $P$ infinite products, $S$ infinite series, and $C$ continued fractions. Such equality is called {\it triplicity}, and it can be used to compute the values of infinite series. It is…

The partition function $p(n)$ and many of its related restricted partition functions have recently been shown independently to satisfy log-concavity: $p(n)^2 \geq p(n-1)p(n+1)$ for $n\geq 26$, and satisfy the inequality: $p(n)p(m) \geq…
