We demonstrate that statistics for several types of set partitions are described by generating functions which appear in the theory of integrable equations.
Certain mathematical structures make a habit of reoccuring in the most diverse list of settings. Some obvious examples exhibiting this intrusive type of behavior include the Fibonacci numbers, the Catalan numbers, the quaternions, and the…
We study partitions of totally positive integers in real quadratic fields. We develop an algorithm for computing the number of partitions, prove a result about the parity of the partition function, and characterize the quadratic fields such…
We present a conjecture about partitions, with a very elementary formulation.
This article introduces recursive relations allowing the calculation of the number of partitions with constraints on the minimum and/or on the maximum fragment size.
Noting a curious link between Andrews' even-odd crank and the Stanley rank, we adopt a combinatorial approach building on the map of conjugation and continue the study of integer partitions with parts separated by parity. Our motivation is…
The theory of partition congruences has been a fascinating and difficult subject for over a century now. In attempting to prove a given congruence family, multiple possible complications include the genus of the underlying modular curve,…
The number of parts in the partitions (resp. distinct partitions) of $n$ with parts from a set were considered. Its generating functions were obtained. Consequently, we derive several recurrence identities for the following functions: the…
In this paper, we study partitions of positive integers into distinct quasifibonacci numbers. A digraph and poset structure is constructed on the set of such partitions. Furthermore, we discuss the symmetric and recursive relations between…
E394 in the Enestrom index. Translated from the Latin original, "De partitione numerorum in partes tam numero quam specie datas" (1768). Euler finds a lot of recurrence formulas for the number of partitions of $N$ into $n$ parts from some…
Recently, the concept of parity bias in integer partitions has been studied by several authors. We continue this study here, but for non-unitary partitions (namely, partitions with parts greater than $1$). We prove analogous results for…
We offer some partition functions related to ternary quadratic forms, and note on their upper bounds and related properties. We offer these results as an application of a simple method related to conjugate Bailey pairs presented in a prior…
Mathematica offers, by way of the package Combinatorics, many useful functions to work on graphs and ordered structures, but none of these functions was specific enough to meet the needs of our research group. Moreover, the existing…
Integer partitions express the different ways that a positive integer may be written as a sum of positive integers. Here we explore the analytic properties of a new polynomial $f_\lambda(x)$ that we call the partition polynomial for the…
In this paper, we investigate the combinatorial properties of three classes of integer partitions: (1) $s$-modular partitions, a class consisting of partitions into parts with a number of occurrences (i.e., multiplicity) congruent to $0$ or…
Sylvester showed that the partition of an integer into a set of positive integers can be represented as a sum of the polynomial term and quasiperiodic components called the Sylvester waves. The wave itself is a weighted sum of the…
A partition of a positive integer $n$ is a non-increasing sequence of positive integers which sum to $n$. A recently studied aspect of partitions is the minimal excludant of a partition, which is defined to be the smallest positive integer…
In this paper, we generalize recent work of Mizuhara, Sellers, and Swisher that gives a method for establishing restricted plane partition congruences based on a bounded number of calculations. Using periodicity for partition functions, our…
We exploit transformations relating generalized $q$-series, infinite products, sums over integer partitions, and continued fractions, to find partition-theoretic formulas to compute the values of constants such as $\pi$, and to connect sums…
In this note, we present a curious $q$-series identity with applications to certain partitions with bounded part differences.
