For fixed $m$ and $R\subseteq \{0,1,\ldots,m-1\}$, take $A$ to be the set of positive integers congruent modulo $m$ to one of the elements of $R$, and let $p_A(n)$ be the number of ways to write $n$ as a sum of elements of $A$. Nathanson…

In 2013, Sun conjectured that the partition function $p(n)$ is never a perfect power for $n \geq 2$. Building on this, Merca, Ono, and Tsai recently observed that for any fixed integers $d \geq 0$ and $k \geq 2$, there appear to be only…

We continue our study of a basic but seemingly intractable problem in integer partition theory, namely the conjecture that $p(n)$ is odd exactly $50\%$ of the time. Here, we greatly extend on our previous paper by providing a…

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,…

Let $B_{n}(t)$ be a $n$-th Stern polynomial and let $e(n)=\op{deg}B_{n}(t)$ be its degree. In this note we continue our study started in \cite{Ul} of the arithmetic properties of the sequence of Stern polynomials and the sequence…

In this paper, we investigate decompositions of the partition function $p(n)$ from the additive theory of partitions considering the famous M\"{o}bius function $\mu(n)$ from multiplicative number theory. Some combinatorial interpretations…

Euler's totient function counts the positive integers up to a given integer n that are relatively prime to n. The aim of this article is to give a result about the sum of euler's totient function from k equal 1 to n whene p divides n and p…

We make an application of ideas from partition theory to a problem in multiplicative number theory. We propose a deterministic model of prime number distribution, from first principles related to properties of integer partitions, that…

We present the first fixed-length elementary closed-form expressions for the prime-counting function, $\pi(n)$, and the $n$-th prime number, $p(n)$. These expressions are arithmetic terms, requiring only a finite and fixed number of…

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…

By jagged partitions we refer to an ordered collection of non-negative integers $(n_1,n_2,..., n_m)$ with $n_m\geq p$ for some positive integer $p$, further subject to some weakly decreasing conditions that prevent them for being genuine…

We study the distribution of partial sums of Rademacher random multiplicative functions $(f(n))_n$ evaluated at polynomial arguments. We show that for a polynomial $P\in \mathbb Z[x]$ that is a product of at least two distinct linear…
