Two algorithms for computing $P(n,m)$, the number of integer partitions of $n$ into exactly $m$ parts, are described, and using a combination of these two algorithms, the resulting algorithm is $O(n^{3/2})$. The second algorithm uses a list…

For any positive integers $s$ and $t$, let $Q_{t}^{s}(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ into distinct parts such that no part is congruent to $s$ or $t-s$ modulo $t$. We prove some Ramanujan-type congruences for…

We derive new formulas for the number of unordered (distinct) factorizations with $k$ parts of a positive integer $n$ as sums over the partitions of $k$ and an auxiliary function, the number of partitions of the prime exponents of $n$,…

A new formula for the partition function $p(n)$ is developed. We show that the number of partitions of $n$ can be expressed as the sum of a simple function of the two largest parts of all partitions. Specifically, if $a_1 + >... + a_k = n$…

We give an asymptotic estimate for the number of partitions of a set of $n$ elements, whose block sizes avoid a given set $\mathcal{S}$ of natural numbers. As an application, we derive an estimate for the number of partitions of a set with…

Given integer $n > 0$ and $m > 1$, we call a partition of set $[n] = \{1, \dots, n\}$ {\em $m$-good} if each of the partitioning sets is of size at most $m$ and the sum of numbers in it is a power of $m$, that is, $m^t$ for some $t \geq 0$.…

For integers $n,k,s$, we give a formula for the number $T(n,k,s)$ of order $k$ subsets of the ring $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ whose sum of elements is $s$ modulo $n$. To do so, we describe explicitly a sequence of matrices $M(k)$, for…

We exhibit, for any positive integer parameter $s$, an involution on the set of integer partitions of $n$. These involutions show the joint symmetry of the distributions of the following two statistics. The first counts the number of parts…

An $(n,k)$-Sperner partition system is a set of partitions of some $n$-set such that each partition has $k$ nonempty parts and no part in any partition is a subset of a part in a different partition. The maximum number of partitions in an…

Let $B$ be an infinite subset of $\mathbf{N}$. When we consider partitions of natural numbers into elements of $B$, a partition number without a restriction of the number of equal parts can be expressed by partition numbers with a…

Let $k$ be a natural number and let $c=2.134693\ldots$ be the unique real solution of the equation $2c=2+\log (5c-1)$ in $[1,\infty)$. Then, when $s\ge ck+4$, we establish an asymptotic lower bound of the expected order of magnitude for the…

Amdeberhan conjectured that the number of $(s,s+2)$-core partitions with distinct parts for an odd integer $s$ is $2^{s-1}$. This conjecture was first proved by Yan, Qin, Jin and Zhou, then subsequently by Zaleski and Zeilberger. Since the…

Let $b^{k}_{\ell,m}(n)$ denotes the number of $k-$colored partitions of $n$ into parts that are not multiples of $\ell$ or $m$. We establish several congruence relations for $b_{\ell,m}(n)$. For instance, for any nonnegative integer $n$…

In recent work, M. Schneider and the first author studied a curious class of integer partitions called "sequentially congruent" partitions: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to…

In the paper, the quantum-statistical approach is used to estimate the number of restricted plane partitions of an integer $n$ with the number of parts not exceeding some finite $N$. The analogy between this number-theoretical problem and…

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 give a series of recursive identities for the number of partitions with exactly $k$ parts and with constraints on both the minimal difference among the parts and the minimal part. Using these results we demonstrate that the number of…

If $s$ is a positive integer and $A$ is a set of positive integers, we say that $B$ is an $s$-divisor of $A$ if $\sum_{b\in B} b\mid s\sum_{a\in A} a$. We study the maximal number of $k$-subsets of an $n$-element set that can be…

Let $m\ge 2$ be a fixed positive integer. Suppose that $m^j \leq n< m^{j+1}$ is a positive integer for some $j\ge 0$. Denote $b_{m}(n)$ the number of $m$-ary partitions of $n$, where each part of the partition is a power of $m$. In this…

In this note, we consider ordered partitions of integers such that each entry is no more than a fixed portion of the sum. We give a method for constructing all such compositions as well as both an explicit formula and a generating function…
