In this article, we introduce the notion of almost consecutive partitions. A partition is almost consecutive if every term is consecutive, with the possible exception of the smallest one. We find formulas relating to the smallest parts of…

A $(k,\ell )$ partial partition of an $n$-element set is a collection of $\ell $ pairwise disjoint $k$-element subsets. It is proved that, if $n$ is large enough, one can find $\left\lfloor {n\choose k}/{\ell}\right\rfloor$ such partial…

A partition of a positive integer $n$ is a non-increasing sequence of positive integers which sum to $n$. A recently studied aspect of partitions is the minimal excludant of a partition, which is defined to be the smallest positive integer…

We investigate the set of partial partitions of a finite set, ordered by inclusion. With this ordering the set of partial partitions can be studied as an abstract simplicial complex. We use the theory of shellable nonpure complexes to find…

Basis partitions are minimal partitions corresponding to successive rank vectors. We show combinatorially how basis partitions can be generated from primary partitions which are equivalent to the Rogers-Ramanujan partitions. This leads to…

The study of partitions with parts separated by parity was initiated by Andrews in connection with Ramanujan's mock theta functions, and his variations on this theme have produced generating functions with a large variety of different…

In this paper, we study restricted excludant statistics depending on its parity in partitions where parts with same parity are distinct. Using $q$-series transformations, we show that generating functions of these partition statistics are…

For two sets $A$ and $M$ of positive integers and for a positive integer $n$, let $p(n,A,M)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in $A$ and multiplicities in $M$, that is, the number of representations of $n$ in the form…

We generalize the well known Glaisher partition bijection result. For given positive integers n, d, both greater than 1, we provide a rich family of bijections between the set of partitions of n where at least one part is divisible by d,…

A set of objects is to be divided fairly among agents with different tastes, modeled by additive utility-functions. If we consider the objects as indivisible, many instances of the decision problem: ``Is there a fair division of the objects…

Let $P_r(n)$ be the set of partitions of n with non negative rth differences. Let $\lambda$ be a partition chosen uniformly at random among the set $P_r(n)$. Let $d(\lambda)$ be a positive rth difference chosen uniformly at random in…

An $n$-bit string is encoded as a sequence of non-orthogonal quantum states. The parity bit of that $n$-bit string is described by one of two density matrices, $\rho_0^{(n)}$ and $\rho_1^{(n)}$, both in a Hilbert space of dimension $2^n$.…

We create a simple test for distinguishing between sets of primes and random numbers using just the sum-of-digits function. We find that the sum-of-the-digits of prime numbers does not have an equal probability of being odd or even. The…

We recall the notion of fractional enumeration and immediately focus on the fractional counting of integer partitions, where each partition gets credit equal to the reciprocal of the product of its parts. We raise two intriguing questions…

In this paper we extend the ladder proof of nonlocality without inequalities for two spin-half particles given by Boschi et al [PRL 79, 2755 (1997)] to the case in which the measurement settings of the apparatus measuring one of the…

We continue our study of the density of the odd values of eta-quotients, here focusing on the $m$-regular partition functions $b_m$ for $m$ even. Based on extensive computational evidence, we propose an elegant conjecture which, in…

In this paper we give a unified treatment of two different definitions of complementarity partition of multifold conic programs introduced independently in [J. F. Bonnans and H. Ram\'irez C., Math. Program. 104 (2005), no. 2-3, Ser. B,…

Using the index theory of seaweed algebras, we explore various new integer partition statistics. We find relations to some well-known varieties of integer partitions as well as a surprising periodicity result.

This paper completes the classification of maximal unrefinable partitions, extending a previous work of Aragona et al. devoted only to the case of triangular numbers. We show that the number of maximal unrefinable partitions of an integer…

Recently, Pankaj Jyoti Mahanta and Manjil P. Saikika proved some identities relating certain restricted partitions into distinct odd parts with the partition whose odd parts are distinct combinatorially. They asked for the q-series proofs.…
