In this paper we present an extension of Stanley's theorem related to partitions of positive integers. Stanley's theorem states a relation between "the sum of the numbers of distinct members in the partitions of a positive integer $n$" and…

Recently, Amdeberhan et al. proved congruences for the number of hooks of fixed even length among the set of self-conjugate partitions of an integer $n$, therefore answering positively a conjecture raised by Ballantine et al.. In this…

The restricted partition function $p_{N}(n)$ counts the partitions of $n$ into at most $N$ parts. In the nineteenth century Sylvester showed that these partitions can be expressed as a sum of $k$-periodic quasi-polynomials ($1\leq k\leq N$)…

The number of standard Young tableaux of shape a partition $\lambda$ is called the dimension of the partition and is denoted by $f^{\lambda}$. Partitions with odd dimensions were enumerated by McKay and were further characterized by…

We study compositions of a positive integer $n$ in which the occurrence of even parts larger than a fixed threshold $k$ is controlled. More precisely, for each composition $m=(m_1,\dots,m_r)$ we consider the number of even parts strictly…

In this paper, we consider the set of partitions $ped(n)$ which counts the number of partitions of $n$ wherein the even parts are distinct (and the odd parts are unrestricted). Using an algorithm developed by Radu, we prove congruences…

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…

In this article we obtain an explicit formula in terms of the partitions of the positive integer $n$ to express the $n$-th term of a wide class of sequences of numbers defined by recursion. Our proof is based only on arithmetics. We compare…

For each positive integer $n$, we construct a bijection between the odd partitions and the distinct partitions of $n$ which extends Bressoud's bijection between the odd-and-distinct partitions of $n$ and the splitting partitions of $n$. We…

A theorem of Andrews equates partitions in which no part is repeated more than 2k-1 times to partitions in which, if j appears at least k times, all parts less than j also do so. This paper proves the theorem bijectively, with some of the…

We consider sequences of integers defined by a system of linear inequalities with integer coefficients. We show that when the constraints are strong enough to guarantee that all the entries are nonnegative, the generating function for the…

Concave compositions are ordered partitions whose parts are decreasing towards a central part. We study the distribution modulo $a$ of the number of concave compositions. Let $c(n)$ be the number of concave compositions of $n$ having even…

A bijection is presented between (1): partitions with conditions $f_j+f_{j+1}\leq k-1$ and $ f_1\leq i-1$, where $f_j$ is the frequency of the part $j$ in the partition, and (2): sets of $k-1$ ordered partitions $(n^{(1)}, n^{(2)}, ...,…

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…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts where the largest part is at most $t\sqrt{n}$ for fixed $t \in \mathbb{R}$. Our method follows a probabilistic approach of Romik, who gave a simpler…

The concept of graph compositions is related to several number theoretic concepts, including partitions of positive integers and the cardinality of the power set of finite sets. This paper examines graph compositions where the total number…

Let $p(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a natural number $n$. As $ n \to \infty$, the $n$th root of $p(n)$ tends to $1$, which is related to the Cauchy--Hadamard test for power series. Andrews also discovered an elementary proof. Sun…

An equivalent definition of the Fibonacci numbers is that they are the unique sequence such that every integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent terms. We can view this as we have bins of length 1, we can take at most one…
