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…

For two collections of nonnegative and suitably normalised weights $\W=(\W_j)$ and $\V=(\V_{n,k})$, a probability distribution on the set of partitions of the set $\{1,...,n\}$ is defined by assigning to a generic partition $\{A_j, j\leq…

We study sequences of partitions of a non decreasing sequence I n of intervals into subintervals, starting from the trivial partition, in which each partition is obtained from the one before by splitting its subintervals in two, according…

The quantization scheme in probability theory deals with finding a best approximation of a given probability distribution by a probability distribution that is supported on finitely many points. In this paper, first we state and prove a…

We provide, under minimal continuity assumptions, a description of \textsl{additive partition entropies}. They are real functions $I$ on the set of finite partitions that are additive on stochastically independent partitions in a given…

The number partitioning problem can be interpreted physically in terms of a thermally isolated non-interacting Bose gas trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. We exploit this analogy to characterize, by means of a…

We characterise the probability distributions that arise from quantum circuits all of whose gates commute, and show when these distributions can be classically simulated efficiently. We consider also marginal distributions and the…

Compression of integer sets and sequences has been extensively studied for settings where elements follow a uniform probability distribution. In addition, methods exist that exploit clustering of elements in order to achieve higher…

The number of solid partitions of a positive integer is an unsolved problem in combinatorial number theory. In this paper, solid partitions are studied numerically by the method of exact enumeration for integers up to 50 and by Monte Carlo…

We study the distribution of entries of a random permutation matrix under a "randomized basis," i.e., we conjugate the random permutation matrix by an independent random orthogonal matrix drawn from Haar measure. It is shown that under…

Which permutations of a probability distribution on integers minimize variance? Let $X$ be a random variable on a set of integers $\{x_1, \dots, x_N\}$ such that $\mathbb{P}(X_i = x_i) = p_i$, $i \in \{1,\dots,N\}$. Let $(p^{(1)}, \dots,…

The dynamical parton distributions of the nucleon are generated radiatively from positive definite (valencelike) input distributions at an optimally chosen low resolution scale (Q_0^2 < 1 GeV^2). For the strange distribution in particular,…

Let $\lambda$ be a partition of the positive integer $n$ chosen umiformly at random among all such partitions. Let $L_n=L_n(\lambda)$ and $M_n=M_n(\lambda)$ be the largest part size and its multiplicity, respectively. For large $n$, we…

The lattice of the set partitions of $[n]$ ordered by refinement is studied. Given a map $\phi: [n] \rightarrow [n]$, by taking preimages of elements we construct a partition of $[n]$. Suppose $t$ partitions $p_1,p_2,\dots,p_t$ are chosen…
