Wilf's Sixth Unsolved Problem asks for any interesting properties of the set of partitions of integers for which the (nonzero) multiplicities of the parts are all different. We refer to these as \emph{Wilf partitions}. Using $f(n)$ to…

Let $f \in \mathbb{Z}[y]$ be a polynomial such that $f(\mathbb{N}) \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, and let $p_{\mathcal{A}_{f}}(n)$ denote number of partitions of $n$ whose parts lie in the set $\mathcal{A}_f:=\{f(n):n \in \mathbb{N}\}$. Under…

In this paper, harkening back to ideas of Hardy and Ramanujan, Mahler and de Bruijn, with the addition of more recent results on the Fibonacci Dirichlet series, we determine the asymptotic number of ways $p_F(n)$ to write an integer as the…

The number of solid partitions of a positive integer is an unsolved problem in combinatorial number theory. In this paper, solid partitions are studied numerically by the method of exact enumeration for integers up to 50 and by Monte Carlo…

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…

Recently, Blecher and Knopfmacher explored the notion of fixed points in integer partitions. Here, we distinguish partitions with a fixed point by which value is fixed and analyze the resulting triangle of integers. In particular, we…

We discuss $Q(n)$, the number of ways a given integer $n$ may be written as a sum of distinct primes, and study its asymptotic form $Q_{as}(n)$ valid in the limit $n\to\infty$. We obtain $Q_{as}(n)$ by Laplace inverting the fermionic…

Many asymptotic formulas exist for unrestricted integer partitions as well as for distinct partitions of integers into a finite number of parts. Szekeres and Canfield have derived an asymptotic formula for the number of partitions that is…

In this paper, we discuss P(n), the number of ways in which a given integer n may be written as a sum of primes. In particular, an asymptotic form P_as(n) valid for n towards infinity is obtained analytically using standard techniques of…

Let A be a nonempty finite set of relatively prime positive integers, and let p_A(n) denote the number of partitions of n with parts in A. An elementary arithmetic argument is used to obtain an asymptotic formula for p_A(n).

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…

An involution on a finite set is a bijection such as I(I(e))=e for all the element of the set. A fixed-point free involution on a finite set is an involution such as I(e)=e for none element of the set. In this article, the fixed-point free…

Improving upon previous work on the subject, we use Wright's Circle Method to derive an asymptotic formula for the number of parts in all partitions of an integer that are in any given arithmetic progression.

The restricted partition function $p_N(n)$ counts the partitions of the integer $n$ into at most $N$ parts. In the nineteenth century Sylvester described these partitions as a sum of waves. We give detailed descriptions of these waves and,…

Let m be a positive integer, and let A be the set of all positive integers that belong to a union of r distinct congruence classes modulo m. We assume that the elements of A are relatively prime, that is, gcd(A) = 1. Let p_A(n) denote the…

A partition is $t$-regular if none of its parts is divisible by $t$. Let $p(N,t)$ be the number of $(t+1)$-regular partitions of a positive integer $N$. In 1971, Hagis proved an asymptotic formula for $p(N,t)$ using the circle method, when…

Here we examine the number of ways to partition an integer $n$ into $k$th powers when $n$ is large. Simplified proofs of some asymptotic results of Wright are given using the saddle-point method, including exact formulas for the expansion…

We write $S_{\leq n}(A)$ and $\Part_{\fin}(A)$ for the set of permutations with at most $n$ non-fixed points, where $n$ is a natural number, and the set of partitions whose members are finite, respectively, of a set $A$. Among our results,…

For $n \in \mathbb{N}$ let $\Pi[n]$ denote the set of partitions of $n$, i.e., the set of positive integer tuples $(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_k)$ such that $x_1 \geq x_2 \geq \cdots \geq x_k$ and $x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_k = n$. Fixing…
