Partitions into semiprimes
Abstract
Let denote the set of primes and be a set with arbitrary weights attached to its elements. Set to be the restricted partition function which counts partitions of with all its parts lying in . By employing a suitable variation of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method we provide the asymptotic formula of for the set of semiprimes in different set-ups (counting factors, repeating the count of factors, and different factors). In order to deal with the minor arc, we investigate a double Weyl sum over prime products and find its corresponding bound thereby extending some of the results of Vinogradov on partitions. We also describe a methodology to find the asymptotic partition for general weighted sets by assigning different strategies for the major, non-principal major, and minor arcs. Our result is contextualized alongside other recent results in partition asymptotics.
