We construct algorithms that efficiently generate random factorisations of values $P(n)$ as products of two integers, where $P\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a given quadratic or cubic monic polynomial. In other words, the algorithms produce random…
Partition functions for non-interacting particles are known to be symmetric functions. It is shown that powerful group-theoretical techniques can be used not only to derive these relationships, but also to significantly simplify calculation…
Following Cayley, MacMahon, and Sylvester, define a non-unitary partition to be an integer partition with no part equal to one, and let $\nu(n)$ denote the number of non-unitary partitions of size $n$. In a 2021 paper, the sixth author…
A partition is a $t$-core partition if $t$ is not one of its hook lengths. Let $c_t(N)$ be the number of $t$-core partitions of $N$. In 1999, Stanton conjectured $c_t(N) \le c_{t+1}(N)$ if $4 \le t \ne N-1$. This was proved for $t$ fixed…
We present a new tool to compute the number $\phi_\A (\b)$ of integer solutions to the linear system $$ \x \geq 0 \qquad \A \x = \b $$ where the coefficients of $\A$ and $\b$ are integral. $\phi_\A (\b)$ is often described as a \emph{vector…
It is shown that the sequence of rational numbers $r(k)$ generated by the ordinary generating function $\prod_{k=1}^\infty (1+x^k/k)$ converges to a limit $C > 0$. $C$ can be expressed as $C = \exp\Bigl(-\sum_{k = 2}^\infty…

In this paper we refine a weighted partition identity of Alladi. We write explicit formulas of generating functions for the number of partitions grouped with respect to a partition statistic other than the norm. We tie our weighted results…
For a vector $\mathbf a=(a_1,\ldots,a_r)$ of positive integers we prove formulas for the restricted partition function $p_{\mathbf a}(n): = $ the number of integer solutions $(x_1,\dots,x_r)$ to $\sum_{j=1}^r a_jx_j=n$ with $x_1\geq 0,…
A well-known result from Hardy and Ramanujan gives an asymptotic expression for the number of possible ways to express an integer as the sum of smaller integers. In this vein, we consider the general partitioning problem of writing an…
The Hardy-Ramanujan partition function asymptotics is a famous result in the asymptotics of combinatorial sequences. It was originally derived using complex analysis and number-theoretic ideas by Hardy and Ramanujan. It was later re-derived…
We summarize the known useful and interesting results and formulas we have discovered so far in this collaborative article summarizing results from two related articles by Merca and Schmidt arriving at related so-termed Lambert series…
Using Riemann-Hilbert methods, we establish a Tracy-Widom like formula for the generating function of the occupancy numbers of the Pearcey process. This formula is linked to a coupled vector differential equation of order three. We also…
We investigate the partitioning of partial orders into a minimal number of heapable subsets. We prove a characterization result reminiscent of the proof of Dilworth's theorem, which yields as a byproduct a flow-based algorithm for computing…
We study the problem of partitioning a given simple polygon $P$ into a minimum number of connected polygonal pieces, each of bounded size. We describe a general technique for constructing such partitions that works for several notions of…
For all positive integers $k,l,n$, the Little Glaisher theorem states that the number of partitions of $n$ into parts not divisible by $k$ and occurring less than $l$ times is equal to the number of partitions of $n$ into parts not…
Let $p_k(n)$ be given by the $k$-th power of the Euler Product $\prod _{n=1}^{\infty}(1-q^n)^k=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}p_k(n)q^{n}$. By investigating the properties of the modular equations of the second and the third order under the Atkin…
We derive an asymptotic formula for $A(n,j,r)$ the number of integer partitions of $n$ into at most $j$ parts each part $\le r$. We assume $j$ and $r$ are near their mean values. We also investigate the second largest part, the number of…
The $(P, \omega)$-partition generating function of a labeled poset $(P, \omega)$ is a quasisymmetric function enumerating certain order-preserving maps from $P$ to $\mathbb{Z}^+$. We study the expansion of this generating function in the…
An alternative generating function is proposed to enumerate row-convex polyominoes without internal holes on a discrete grid. The approach is based on integer partitions of the total area, where each partition corresponds to a sequence of…
