A partition of a positive integer $n$ is a non-increasing sequence of positive integers which sum to $n$. A recently studied aspect of partitions is the minimal excludant of a partition, which is defined to be the smallest positive integer…
In the preceding decade, Andrews and Newman resurrected the concept of a `minimal excludant' of a partition ($mex$, for short), namely, the least positive missing integer in a partition. Subsequently, several authors have not only studied…
We provide a combinatorial description of exclusion statistics in terms of minimal difference $p$ partitions. We compute the probability distribution of the number of parts in a random minimal $p$ partition. It is shown that the bosonic…
In this article, we refine a result of Andrews and Newman, that is, the sum of minimal excludants over all the partitions of a number $n$ equals the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts with two colors. As a consequence, we find…
The minimal excludant of an integer partition is the least positive integer missing from the partition. Let $\sigma_o\text{mex}(n)$ (resp., $\sigma_e\text{mex}(n)$) denote the sum of odd (resp., even) minimal excludants over all the…
The crank-mex theorem states that the number of integer partitions of $n$ with nonnegative crank equals the number with odd minimal excludant (mex). Andrews and M. Newman recently refined that result in terms of the number of parts greater…
Let $p_n$ be the number of partitions of an integer $n$. For each of the partition statistics of counting their parts, ranks, or cranks, there is a natural family of integer polynomials. We investigate their asymptotics and the limiting…
In order to provide a unified combinatorial interpretation of congruences modulo $5$ for 2-colored partition functions, Garvan introduced a bicrank statistic in terms of weighted vector partitions. In this paper, we obtain some inequalities…
The minimal excludant of a partition $\lambda$, $\rm{mex}(\lambda)$, is the smallest positive integer that is not a part of $\lambda$. For a positive integer $n$, $ \sigma\, \rm{mex}(n)$ denotes the sum of the minimal excludants of all…
Noting a curious link between Andrews' even-odd crank and the Stanley rank, we adopt a combinatorial approach building on the map of conjugation and continue the study of integer partitions with parts separated by parity. Our motivation is…
In this paper we refine a weighted partition identity of Alladi. We write explicit formulas of generating functions for the number of partitions grouped with respect to a partition statistic other than the norm. We tie our weighted results…
In a recent pioneering work, Andrews and Newman defined an extended function $p_{A,a}(n)$ of their minimal excludant or "mex" of a partition function. By considering the special cases $p_{k,k}(n)$ and $p_{2k,k}(n)$, they unearthed…
We introduce a family of univariate polynomials indexed by integer partitions. At prime powers, they count the number of subspaces in a finite vector space that transform under a regular diagonal matrix in a specified manner. This…
Using quasimodular forms with respect to $\Gamma_0(4)$ we find exact relations between the M2-rank for partitions without repeated odd parts and three residual cranks. From these identities we are able to deduce various congruences mod 3…
Several authors have recently considered the smallest positive part missing from an integer partition, known as the minimum excludant or mex. In this work, we revisit and extend connections between Dyson's crank statistics, the mex, and…
The problem of integer partitions is addressed using the microcanonical approach which is based on the analogy between this problem in the number theory and the calculation of microstates of a many-boson system. For ordinary…
An important conjecture in additive combinatorics, number theory, and algebraic geometry posits that the partition rank and analytic rank of tensors are equal up to a constant, over any finite field. We prove the conjecture up to a…
A partition statistic ` crank' gives combinatorial interpretations for Ramanujan's famous partition congruences. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula, Ramanujan type congruences, and q-series identities that the number of…
Integer partitions have fascinated people for centuries, from Ramanujan's groundbreaking congruences to the modern theory of modular forms. This paper investigates the statistical properties of odd unimodal sequences--a natural refinement…
This article is an extensive study of partitions with fixed number of odd and even-indexed odd parts. We use these partitions to generalize recent results of C. Savage and A. Sills. Moreover, we derive explicit formulas for generating…
