We prove two partition identities which are dual to the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. These identities are inspired by (and proved using) a correspondence between three kinds of objects: a new type of partitions (neighborly partitions),…

A partition n = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_k with 1 <= p_1 <= p_2 <= ... <= p_k is called non-squashing if p_1 + ... + p_j <= p_{j+1} for 1 <= j <= k-1. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that the number of non-squashing partitions of n is equal to the…

For a set of nonnegative integers $S$ let $R_{S}(n)$ denote the number of unordered representations of the integer $n$ as the sum of two different terms from $S$. In this paper we focus on partitions of the natural numbers into two sets…

The partition function $p(n)$, which counts the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$, is widely studied. Here, we study partition functions $p_S(n)$ that count partitions of $n$ into distinct parts satisfying certain congruence…

Following Cayley, MacMahon, and Sylvester, define a non-unitary partition to be an integer partition with no part equal to one, and let $\nu(n)$ denote the number of non-unitary partitions of size $n$. In a 2021 paper, the sixth author…

Let $A\subset \N_{+}$ and by $P_{A}(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of an integer $n$ into parts from the set $A$. The aim of this paper is to prove several result concerning the existence of integer solutions of Diophantine equations…

In this note, we obtain a formula which leads to a practical and efficient method to calculate the number of partitions of n into parts not divisible by m for given natural numbers n and m.

Glaisher's theorem states that the number of partitions of $n$ into parts which repeat at most $m-1$ times is equal to the number of partitions of $n$ into parts which are not divisible by $m$. The $m=2$ case is Euler's famous partition…

In his classic text, \emph{Combinatory Analysis}, MacMahon defined a perfect partition of a positive integer $n$ as a partition whose parts contain exactly one partition of every positive integer not exceeding $n$. In this paper we apply…

Motivated by Andrews' recent work related to Euler's partition theorem, we consider the set of partitions of an integer $n$ where the set of even parts has exactly $j$ elements, versus the set of partitions of $n$ where the set of repeated…

We give a commutative algebra viewpoint on Andrews recursive formula for the partitions appearing in "Gordon's identities", which are a generalization of Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Using this approach and differential ideals we conjecture…

Wilf's Sixth Unsolved Problem asks for any interesting properties of the set of partitions of integers for which the (nonzero) multiplicities of the parts are all different. We refer to these as \emph{Wilf partitions}. Using $f(n)$ to…

Recently, the concept of parity bias in integer partitions has been studied by several authors. We continue this study here, but for non-unitary partitions (namely, partitions with parts greater than $1$). We prove analogous results for…

A partition of a positive integer $n$ is a representation of $n$ as a sum of a finite number of positive integers (called parts). A trapezoidal number is a positive integer that has a partition whose parts are a decreasing sequence of…

Integer partitions have long been of interest to number theorists, perhaps most notably Ramanujan, and are related to many areas of mathematics including combinatorics, modular forms, representation theory, analysis, and mathematical…

We consider the number of various partitions of $n$ with parts separated by parity and prove combinatorially several inequalities between these numbers. For example, we show that for $n\geq 5$ we have $p_{od}^{eu}(n)<p_{ed}^{ou}(n)$, where…

Recently, many authors have investigated how various partition statistics distribute as the size of the partition grows. In this work, we look at a particular statistic arising from the recent rejuvenation of MacMahon's partition analysis.…

In 2019, Andrews investigated integer partitions in which all parts of a given parity are smaller than those of the opposite parity and introduced eight partition functions based on the parity of the smaller parts and parts of a given…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and $b_{m}(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts being powers of 2, where each part can take $m$ colors. We show that if $m=2^{k}-1$, then there exists the natural density of integers $n$ such that…

Recently, Andrews and EI Bachraoui obtained several iden tities on two-colored partitions. While solving open problems they posed, Chen and Zhou derived a number of identities using analytic methods and asked for combinatorial proofs. In…
