The Fibonacci numbers are the prototypical example of a recursive sequence, but grow too quickly to enumerate sets of integer partitions. The same is true for the other classical sequences $a(n)$ defined by Fibonacci-like recursions: the…

We introduce Macdonald polynomials indexed by $n$-tuples of partitions and characterized by certain orthogonality and triangularity relations. We prove that they can be explicitly given as products of ordinary Macdonald polynomials…

For integer partitions $\lambda :n=a_1+...+a_k$, where $a_1\ge a_2\ge >...\ge a_k\ge 1$, we study the sum $a_1+a_3+...$ of the parts of odd index. We show that the average of this sum, over all partitions $\lambda$ of $n$, is of the form…

The famous partition theorem of Euler states that partitions of $n$ into distinct parts are equinumerous with partitions of $n$ into odd parts. Another famous partition theorem due to MacMahon states that the number of partitions of $n$…

In recent work, M. Schneider and the first author studied a curious class of integer partitions called "sequentially congruent" partitions: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to…

We prove combinatorially some identities related to Euler's partition identity (the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts equals the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts). They were conjectured by Beck and proved by Andrews…

The study of integer partitions and their congruences dates back to 1919 when Ramanujan discovered his famous congruences for the partition function, $p(n)$. Since then, many other kinds of partition functions have been discovered, as well…

PED partitions are partitions with even parts distinct while odd parts are unrestricted. Similarly, POD partitions have distinct odd parts while even parts are unrestricted. Merca proved several recurrence relations analytically for the…

Let $m\ge 2$ be a fixed positive integer. Suppose that $m^j \leq n< m^{j+1}$ is a positive integer for some $j\ge 0$. Denote $b_{m}(n)$ the number of $m$-ary partitions of $n$, where each part of the partition is a power of $m$. In this…

Wilf's Sixth Unsolved Problem asks for any interesting properties of the set of partitions of integers for which the (nonzero) multiplicities of the parts are all different. We refer to these as \emph{Wilf partitions}. Using $f(n)$ to…

Recently, Andrews defined a partition function $\mathcal{EO}(n)$ which counts the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part. He also defined a partition function $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$ which…

To construct a BPS algebra with representations furnished by n-dimensional partitions, the first step is to find the eigenvalues of the Cartan operators acting on them. The generating function of the eigenvalues is called the charge…

This article is an extensive study of partitions with fixed number of odd and even-indexed odd parts. We use these partitions to generalize recent results of C. Savage and A. Sills. Moreover, we derive explicit formulas for generating…

We investigate the rank-generating function $F_{\lambda}$ of the poset of partitions contained inside a given shifted Ferrers shape $\lambda$. When $\lambda $ has four parts, we show that $F_{\lambda}$ is unimodal when $\lambda =\langle…

For the past several years, numerous authors have studied POD and PED partitions from a variety of perspectives. These are integer partitions wherein the odd parts must be distinct (in the case of POD partitions) or the even parts must be…
