Higher Order Turan Inequalities for the Distinct Partition Function

Combinatorics 2024-04-02 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We prove that the number q(n)q(n) of partitions into distinct parts is log-concave for n33n \geq 33 and satisfies the higher order Tur\'an inequalities for n121n\geq 121 conjectured by Craig and Pun. In doing so, we establish explicit error terms for q(n)q(n) and for q(n1)q(n+1)/q(n)2q(n-1)q(n+1)/q(n)^2 based on Chern's asymptotic formulas for η\eta-quotients.
