The study of Ramanujan-type congruences for functions specific to additive number theory has a long and rich history. Motivated by recent connections between divisor sums and overpartitions via congruences in arithmetic progressions, we…

Motivated by a recent paper of Straub, we study the distribution of integer partitions according to the length of their largest hook, instead of the usual statistic, namely the size of the partitions. We refine Straub's analogue of Euler's…

We study the number $p(n,t)$ of partitions of $n$ with difference $t$ between largest and smallest parts. Our main result is an explicit formula for the generating function $P_t(q) := \sum_{n \ge 1} p(n,t) \, q^n$. Somewhat surprisingly,…

We provide a systematic formula, in terms of integer partitions, that generates perturbation theory explicitly at an arbitrary order. Our approach naturally includes an infinite number of perturbations and uses a single matrix equation that…

We investigate the number $N_{d,r}(s)$ of $(s, s+r)$-core integer partitions with $d$-distinct parts. Our first main result is a proof of a recurrence relation conjectured by Sahin in 2018. We also derive generating functions, asymptotics,…

Let $M_0(n)$ (resp. $M_1(n)$) denote the number of partitions of $n$ with even (reps. odd) crank. Choi, Kang and Lovejoy established an asymptotic formula for $M_0(n)-M_1(n)$. By utilizing this formula with the explicit bound, we show that…

Biases in integer partitions have been studied recently. For three disjoint subsets $R,S,I$ of positive integers, let $p_{RSI}(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts from $R\cup S\cup I$ and $p_{R>S,I}(n)$ be the number of such…

For a sequence $M=(m_{i})_{i=0}^{\infty}$ of integers such that $m_{0}=1$, $m_{i}\geq 2$ for $i\geq 1$, let $p_{M}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ into parts of the form $m_{0}m_{1}\cdots m_{r}$. In this paper we show that for…

Recently, there has been renewed interest in studying the asymptotic properties of the integer partition function $p(n)$. Hardy, Ramanujan, and Rademacher provided detailed asymptotic analysis for $p(n)$. Presently, attention has shifted…

When Mike Hirschhorn showed us his lovely gem, that gives the simplest-to-date proof of Ramanujan's famous result that p(11n+6) is divisible by 11, we realized that his amazing method can be extended, and taught to a computer, and can prove…

We study certain arithmetic properties of an analogue $B(n)$ of Lin's restricted partition function that counts the number of partition triples $\pi=(\pi_1,\pi_2,\pi_3)$ of $n$ such that $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ comprise distinct odd parts and…
