In 1918, Hardy and Ramanujan published a seminal paper which included an asymptotic formula for the partition function. In their paper, they also claim without proof an asymptotic equivalence for $p^k(n)$, the number of partitions of a…

We use an old elementary arithmetic argument to find new upper and lower bounds for Sylvester's denumerant function. These bounds are tight enough to get the asymptotic behavior of the denumerant.

This paper addresses an estimation problem of an additive functional of $\phi$, which is defined as $\theta(P;\phi)=\sum_{i=1}^k\phi(p_i)$, given $n$ i.i.d. random samples drawn from a discrete distribution $P=(p_1,...,p_k)$ with alphabet…

Asymptotic expansions are derived for solutions of the parabolic cylinder and Weber differential equations. In addition the inhomogeneous versions of the equations are considered, for the case of polynomial forcing terms. The expansions…

Let $\mathbb{P}$ denote the set of primes and $\mathcal{N}\subset \mathbb{N}$ be a set with arbitrary weights attached to its elements. Set $\mathfrak{p}_{\mathcal{N}}(n)$ to be the restricted partition function which counts partitions of…

The study of partitions with parts separated by parity was initiated by Andrews in connection with Ramanujan's mock theta functions, and his variations on this theme have produced generating functions with a large variety of different…

Let $S(t) = \frac{1}{\pi}\Im \log\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)$. We prove an unconditional lower bound on the measure of the sets $\{t\in [T,2T] \colon S(t) \geq V\}$ for $\sqrt{\log\log T} \leq V \ll \left(\frac{\log T}{\log \log…

This paper revisits a fundamental problem in statistical inference from a non-asymptotic theoretical viewpoint $\unicode{x2013}$ the construction of confidence sets. We establish a finite-sample bound for the estimator, characterizing its…

In this note, we offer some relations and congruences for an interesting $spt$-type function.

We give bounds on the error in the asymptotic approximation of the log-Gamma function $\ln\Gamma(z)$ for complex $z$ in the right half-plane. These improve on earlier bounds by Behnke and Sommer (1962), Spira (1971), and Hare (1997). We…

We establish the asymptotic theory of least absolute deviation estimators for AR(1) processes with autoregressive parameter satisfying $n(\rho_n-1)\to\gamma$ for some fixed $\gamma$ as $n\to\infty$, which is parallel to the results of…

We describe how the Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher formula can be implemented to allow the partition function $p(n)$ to be computed with softly optimal complexity $O(n^{1/2+o(1)})$ and very little overhead. A new implementation based on these…

Enrico Bombieri showed conditionally (1994) that the ABC conjecture implies Roth's theorem, and Van Frankenhuysen (1999) later provided a complete proof. Building on Bombieri's and Van der Poorten's explicit formula for continued-fraction…

This paper records some apparently new results for the partition of integer intervals [1, n] into weakly sum-free subsets. These were produced using a method closely related to that used by Schur in 1917. New lower bounds can be produced in…

We establish the average-case hardness of the algorithmic problem of exact computation of the partition function associated with the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses with Gaussian couplings and random external field. In…
