In this article we obtain an explicit formula in terms of the partitions of the positive integer $n$ to express the $n$-th term of a wide class of sequences of numbers defined by recursion. Our proof is based only on arithmetics. We compare…

Let $p$ be a prime and $n$ a positive integer such that $\sqrt{\frac p2} + 1 \leq n \leq \sqrt{p}$. For any arithmetic progression $A$ of length $n$ in $\mathbb{F}_p$, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of directions…

Let $p_{-r}(n)$ denote the $r$-coloured partition function, and $\sigma(n)=\sum_{d|n}d$ denote the sum of positive divisors of $n$. The aim of this note is to prove the following $$…

We study M(n), the number of distinct values taken by multinomial coefficients with upper entry n, and some closely related sequences. We show that both pP(n)/M(n) and M(n)/p(n) tend to zero as n goes to infinity, where pP(n) is the number…

Let $p\leq 23$ be a prime and $a_p(n)$ counts the number of partitions of $n$ where parts that are multiple of $p$ come up with $2$ colors. Using a result of Sussman, we derive the exact formula for $a_p(n)$ and obtain an asymptotic formula…

We prove new formulas and congruences for $p(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ parts and $q(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ distinct parts. Also, we give lower and upper bounds for the density of the set…

Let $p_n$ be the number of partitions of an integer $n$. For each of the partition statistics of counting their parts, ranks, or cranks, there is a natural family of integer polynomials. We investigate their asymptotics and the limiting…

We derive the asymptotic formula for $p_n(N,M)$, the number of partitions of integer $n$ with part size at most $N$ and length at most $M$. We consider both $N$ and $M$ are comparable to $\sqrt{n}$. This is an extension of the classical…

Here we examine the number of ways to partition an integer $n$ into $k$th powers when $n$ is large. Simplified proofs of some asymptotic results of Wright are given using the saddle-point method, including exact formulas for the expansion…

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…

The arithmetic partial derivative (with respect to a prime $p$) is a function from the set of integers that sends $p$ to 1 and satisfies the Leibniz rule. In this paper, we prove that the $p$-adic valuation of the sequence of higher order…
