Let $p_{o}(n)$ (resp. $p_{e}(n)$) denote the number of partitions of $n$ with more odd parts (resp. even parts) than even parts (resp. odd parts). Recently, Kim, Kim, and Lovejoy proved that $p_{o}(n)>p_{e}(n)$ for all $n>2$ and conjectured…

Recently, Andrews considered the partitions with parts separated by parity, in which parts of a given parity are all smaller than those of the other parity. Inspired from the partitions with parts separated by parity, we investigate the…

For a random partition, one of the most basic questions is: what can one expect about the parts which arise? For example, what is the distribution of the parts of random partitions modulo $N$? Since most partitions contain a $1$, and indeed…

For a partition $\lambda \vdash n$, we let $\operatorname{pd}(\lambda)$, the parity difference of $\lambda$, be the number of odd parts of $\lambda$ minus the number of even parts of $\lambda$. We prove for $c_0\in\mathbb{R}$ an asymptotic…

Recently, Chen, He, Hu and Xie considered the parity of the number of non-overlined (resp. overlined) parts of size greater than or equal to the size of the smallest overlined (resp. non-overlined) part in an overpartition. In this article,…

In this note we give three identities for partitions with parts separated by parity, which were recently introduced by Andrews.

In 2019, Andrews investigated integer partitions in which all parts of a given parity are smaller than those of the opposite parity and introduced eight partition functions based on the parity of the smaller parts and parts of a given…

Recently, Andrews introduced separable integer partition classes and analyzed some well-known theorems. In this paper, we investigate partitions with parts separated by parity introduced by Andrews with the aid of separable integer…

In this paper, we present a generalization of one of the theorems in [G. E. Andrews, Partitions with parts separated by parity, \textit{Annals of Combinatorics} \textbf{23}(2019), 241 - 248], and give its bijective proof. Further variations…

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 prove various inequalities between the number of partitions with the bound on the largest part and some restrictions on occurrences of parts. We explore many interesting consequences of these partition inequalities. In particular, we…

In this paper, we study various classes of partition functions such as those related to the parity of the number of parts, to differences of partition numbers, and to partitions with a repeated smallest part. We establish identities…

In the present paper we initiate the study of a certain kind of partition inequality, by showing, for example, that if $M\geq 5$ is an integer and the integers $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime to $M$ and satisfy $1\leq a<b<M/2$, and the…

Following Cayley, MacMahon, and Sylvester, define a non-unitary partition to be an integer partition with no part equal to one, and let $\nu(n)$ denote the number of non-unitary partitions of size $n$. In a 2021 paper, the sixth author…

We introduce a new type of partitions that consists of partitions whose different parts alternate in parity (e.g., $3+2+2+1+1$). Various properties of this partition function are studied. In particular, we obtain its asymptotic behavior by…

Noting a curious link between Andrews' even-odd crank and the Stanley rank, we adopt a combinatorial approach building on the map of conjugation and continue the study of integer partitions with parts separated by parity. Our motivation is…

We obtain a combinatorial proof of a surprising weighted partition equality of Berkovich and Uncu. Our proof naturally leads to a formula for the number of partitions with a given parity of the smallest part, in terms of S(i), the number of…

The restricted partitions in which the largest part is less than or equal to $N$ and the number of parts is less than or equal to $k$ were investigated by Andrews in \cite{Andrews76}. These partitions were extended recently by the author to…
