For stacked simplicial complexes, (special subclasses of such are: trees, triangulations of polygons, stacked polytopes), we give an explicit bijection between partitions of facets (for trees: edges), and partitions of vertices into…

For a set of nonnegative integers $S$ let $R_{S}(n)$ denote the number of unordered representations of the integer $n$ as the sum of two different terms from $S$. In this paper we focus on partitions of the natural numbers into two sets…

We generalize recent results of Breuer and Kronholm, and Chern on partitions and overpartitions with bounded differences between largest and smallest parts. We prove our generalization both analytically and combinatorially.

We present a new partition identity and give a combinatorial proof of our result. This generalizes a result of Andrew's in which he considers the generation function for partitions with respect to size, number of odd parts, and number of…

Recently, Andrews, Chan, Kim and Osburn introduced the even strings and the odd strings in the overpartitions. We show that their conjecture $A_k (n) \geq B_k (n)$ holds for large enough positive integers n, where A_k(n) (resp. B_k(n)) is…

We tackle the problem of partitioning players into groups of fixed size, such as allocating eligible students to shared dormitory rooms. Each student submits preferences over the other individual students. We study several settings, which…

Andrews and Merca [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 203 (2024), Art. 105849] recently obtained two interesting results on the sum of the parts with the same parity in the partitions of $n$ (the modulo $2$ case), the proof of which relies on…

Integer partitions are one of the most fundamental objects of combinatorics (and number theory), and so is enumerating objects avoiding patterns. In the present paper we describe two approaches for the systematic counting of classes of…

We study the weight space structure of the parity machine with binary weights by deriving the distribution of volumes associated to the internal representations of the learning examples. The learning behaviour and the symmetry breaking…

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…

We study matrix inequalities involving partial traces for positive semidefinite block matrices. First of all, we present a new method to prove a celebrated result of Choi [Linear Algebra Appl. 516 (2017)]. Our method also allows us to prove…

In this paper we present a new formula for the number of unrestricted partitions of $n$. We do this by introducing a correspondence between the number of unrestrited partitions of $n$ and the number of non-negative solutions of systems of…

In this paper, we prove some new \(q\)-series identities connecting \(4\)-regular partitions and partitions with distinct even parts with largest part being odd. We also define three new partition functions with distinct even parts except…

Many papers have studied inequalities for partition functions. Recently, a number of papers have considered mixtures between additive and multiplicative behavior in such inequalities. In particular, Chern-Fu-Tang and Heim-Neuhauser gave…

If $a_1, a_2, ..., a_k$ and $n$ are positive integers such that $n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_k$, then the sum $a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_k$ is said to be a \emph{partition of $n$} of \emph{length $k$}, and $a_1, a_2, ..., a_k$ are said to be the…

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…

The partition functions $P(n,m,p)$, the number of integer partitions of $n$ into exactly $m$ parts with each part at most $p$, and $Q(n,m,p)$, the number of integer partitons of $n$ into exactly $m$ distinct parts with each part at most…

We initially consider a quantum system consisting of two qubits, which can be in one of two nonorthogonal states, \Psi_0 or \Psi_1. We distribute the qubits to two parties, Alice and Bob. They each measure their qubit and then compare their…

Demonstrating quantum advantage with less powerful but more realistic devices is of great importance in modern quantum information science. Recently, a significant quantum speedup was achieved in the problem of learning a hidden parity…

Based on work of Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer on partition rank difference functions, and more recent work of Lovejoy and Osburn, Mao has proved several inequalities between partition ranks modulo $10$, and additional results modulo $6$ and…
