We obtain a combinatorial proof of a surprising weighted partition equality of Berkovich and Uncu. Our proof naturally leads to a formula for the number of partitions with a given parity of the smallest part, in terms of S(i), the number of…

Recent results by Andrews and Merca on the number of even parts in all partitions of n into distinct parts, a(n), were derived via generating functions. This paper extends these results to the number of parts divisible by k in all the…

In this paper, we show that the difference between the number of parts in the odd partitions of $n$ and the number of parts in the distinct partitions of $n$ satisfies Euler's recurrence relation for the partition function $p(n)$ when $n$…

In this paper we present an extension of Stanley's theorem related to partitions of positive integers. Stanley's theorem states a relation between "the sum of the numbers of distinct members in the partitions of a positive integer $n$" and…

In this paper, we study various classes of partition functions such as those related to the parity of the number of parts, to differences of partition numbers, and to partitions with a repeated smallest part. We establish identities…

In this note we will give various exact formulas for functions on integer partitions including the functions $p(n)$ and $p(n,k)$ of the number of partitions of $n$ and the number of such partitions into exactly $k$ parts respectively. For…

Let $\overline{\mathrm{spt}}k(n)$ denote the number of overpartitions of $n$ where the smallest non-overlined part, say $s(\pi)$, appears $k$ times and every overlined part is bigger than $s(\pi)$. Let $\overline{\mathrm{spt}}k_o(n)$ denote…

Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…

The famous partition theorem of Euler states that partitions of $n$ into distinct parts are equinumerous with partitions of $n$ into odd parts. Another famous partition theorem due to MacMahon states that the number of partitions of $n$…

A $k$-regular partition into distinct parts is a partition into distinct parts with no part divisible by $k$. In this paper, we provide a general method to establish the unimodality of $k$-regular partition into distinct parts where the…

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 $a_1 + >... + a_k = n$…

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…

The number of parts in the partitions (resp. distinct partitions) of $n$ with parts from a set were considered. Its generating functions were obtained. Consequently, we derive several recurrence identities for the following functions: the…

For all positive integers $k,l,n$, the Little Glaisher theorem states that the number of partitions of $n$ into parts not divisible by $k$ and occurring less than $l$ times is equal to the number of partitions of $n$ into parts not…

The partitions of the integers can be expressed exactly in an iterative and closed-form expression. This equation is derived from distributing the partitions of a number in a network that locates each partition in a unique and orderly…

We use the $q$-binomial theorem, the $q$-Gauss sum, and the ${}_2\phi_1 \rightarrow {}_2\phi_2$ transformation of Jackson to discover and prove many new weighted partition identities. These identities involve unrestricted partitions,…

We study a problem of Douglass and Ono concerning the smallest integer $n$ such that the partition function $p(n)$ begins with a specified string of digits $f$ in base $b$. By employing an elementary discrepancy framework, we establish new…

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 $n$,…

We prove new formulas and congruences for $p(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ parts and $q(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ distinct parts. Also, we give lower and upper bounds for the density of the set…

Building on work of Hardy and Ramanujan, Rademacher proved a well-known formula for the values of the ordinary partition function $p(n)$. More recently, Bruinier and Ono obtained an algebraic formula for these values. Here we study the…
