Generalizing a partition theorem of Andrews

Combinatorics 2017-05-16 v1

Abstract

Motivated by Andrews' recent work related to Euler's partition theorem, we consider the set of partitions of an integer nn where the set of even parts has exactly jj elements, versus the set of partitions of nn where the set of repeated parts has exactly jj elements. These two sets of partitions turn out to be equinumerous, and this naturally encloses Euler's theorem and Andrews' theorem as two special cases. We give two proofs, one using generating function, and the other is a direct bijection that builds on Glaisher's bijection
