Two analogues of the crank function are defined for overpartitions -- the first residual crank and the second residual crank. This suggests an exploration of crank functions defined for overpartitions whose parts are divisible by an…

In this paper we present a new class of integer partition identities. The number of partitions with d-distant parts can be represented as a sum of the number of partitions with 1-distant parts whose even parts are greater than twice the…

Motivated by a partition inequality of Bessenrodt and Ono, we obtain analogous inequalities for $k$-colored partition functions $p_{-k}(n)$ for all $k\geq2$. This enables us to extend the $k$-colored partition function multiplicatively to a…

This paper deals with both the higher order Tur\'an inequalities and the Laguerre inequalities for quasi-polynomial-like functions -- that are expressions of the form $f(n)=c_l(n)n^l+\cdots+c_d(n)n^d+o(n^d)$, where $d,l\in\mathbb{N}$ and…

We study the distribution of partition parts in arithmetic progressions and find asymptotic results that capture all exponentially growing terms. This is accomplished by studying the behavior of non-modular Eisenstein series that appear in…

We consider the number of various partitions of $n$ with parts separated by parity and prove combinatorially several inequalities between these numbers. For example, we show that for $n\geq 5$ we have $p_{od}^{eu}(n)<p_{ed}^{ou}(n)$, where…

We show that while the number of coprime compositions of a positive integer $n$ into $k$ parts can be expressed as a $\mathbb{Q}$-linear combinations of the Jordan totient functions, this is never possible for the coprime partitions of $n$…

We use a variation of the Circle Method, along with the Saddle Point Method, to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of partitions of a number n into integers which are sums of two squares. Unlike previous work on partitions into…

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 study partitions of complex numbers as sums of non-negative powers of a fixed algebraic number $\beta$. We prove that if $\beta$ is real quadratic, then the number of partitions is always finite if and only if some conjugate of $\beta$…

Let $s_0,s_1,s_2,\ldots$ be a sequence of rational numbers whose $m$th divided difference is integer-valued. We prove that $s_n$ is a polynomial function in $n$ if $s_n \ll \theta^n$ for some positive number $\theta$ satisfying $\theta <…

The integer $d=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{b_i}$ is called an exponential divisor of $n=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{a_i}>1$ if $b_i \mid a_i$ for every $i\in \{1,2,...,s\}$. Let $\tau^{(e)}(n)$ denote the number of exponential divisors of $n$, where…
