In a recent paper, Amini et al. introduce a general framework to prove duality theorems between special decompositions and their dual combinatorial object. They thus unify all known ad-hoc proofs in one single theorem. While this…

Berkovich-Uncu have recently proved a companion of the well-known Capparelli's identities as well as refinements of Savage-Sills' new little G\"ollnitz identities. Noticing the connection between their results and Boulet's earlier…

In this paper, we consider various theorems of P.A. MacMahon and M.V. Subbarao. For a non-negative integer $n$, MacMahon proved that the number of partitions of $n$ wherein parts have multiplicity greater than 1 is equal to the number of…

It is presented the simplest known disproof of the Borsuk conjecture stating that if a bounded subset of n-dimensional Euclidean space contains more than n points, then the subset can be partitioned into n+1 nonempty parts of smaller…

We prove a partition identity conjectured by Lassalle (Adv. in Appl. Math. 21 (1998), 457-472).

We show that cylindric partitions are in one-to-one correspondence with a pair which has an ordinary partition and a colored partition into distinct parts. Then, we show the general form of the generating function for cylindric partitions…

We provide a new foundation for combinatorial commutative algebra and Stanley-Reisner theory using the partition complex introduced in [Adi18]. One of the main advantages is that it is entirely self-contained, using only a minimal knowledge…

Carlitz considered integer compositions in which adjacent parts must be unequal. Arndt recently initiated the study of restricted compositions based on conditions applied to certain pairs of parts rather than to individual parts. Here, we…

This is a survey and research note on the modified Orlik conjecture derived from the division theorem introduced in [2]. The division theorem is a generalization of classical addition-deletion theorems for free arrangements. The division…

In his book Topics in Analytic Number Theory, Rademacher considered the generating function of partitions into at most $N$ parts, and conjectured certain limits for the coefficients of its partial fraction decomposition. We carry out an…

We propose and recursively prove polynomial identities which imply Capparelli's partition theorems. We also find perfect companions to the results of Andrews, and Alladi, Andrews and Gordon involving $q$-trinomial coefficients. We follow…

The graphs induced by partition logics allow a dual probabilistic interpretation: a classical one for which probabilities lie on the convex hull of the dispersion-free weights, and another one, suggested independently from the quantum Born…

The combinatorial theory for the set of parity alternating permutations is expounded. In view of the numbers of ascents and inversions, several enumerative aspects of the set are investigated. In particular, it is shown that signed Eulerian…

We prove recent conjectures of Chern concerning nonnegativity of a certain q-series related to parity bias in integer partitions.

In this paper, we use a branch of polyhedral geometry, Ehrhart theory, to expand our combinatorial understanding of congruences for partition functions. Ehrhart theory allows us to give a new decomposition of partitions, which in turn…

Previous work showed that, for $\nu_2(n)$ the number of partitions of $n$ into exactly two part sizes, one has $\nu_2(16n + 14) \equiv 0 \pmod{4}$. The earlier proof required the technology of modular forms, and a combinatorial proof was…

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…

A typical decomposition question asks whether the edges of some graph $G$ can be partitioned into disjoint copies of another graph $H$. One of the oldest and best known conjectures in this area, posed by Ringel in 1963, concerns the…

We prove an identity about partitions, previously conjectured in the study of shifted Jack polynomials (math.CO/9903020). The proof given is using $\lambda$-ring techniques. It would be interesting to obtain a bijective proof.

Ferrers graphs and tables of partitions are treated as vectors. Matrix operations are used for simple proofs of identities concerning partitions. Interpreting partitions as vectors gives a possibility to generalize partitions on negative…
