We consider the problem of learning an unknown partition of an $n$ element universe using rank queries. Such queries take as input a subset of the universe and return the number of parts of the partition it intersects. We give a simple…

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…

Let $pod_{\ell}(n)$ be the number of $\ell$-regular partitions of $n$ with distinct odd parts. In this article, prove that for any positive integer $k$, the set of non-negative integers $n$ for which $pod_{\ell}(n)\equiv 0 \pmod{p^{k}}$ has…

This article investigates structural connections between unrefinable partitions into distinct parts and numerical semigroups. By analysing the hooksets of Young diagrams associated with numerical sets, new criteria for recognising…

A theorem of Andrews equates partitions in which no part is repeated more than 2k-1 times to partitions in which, if j appears at least k times, all parts less than j also do so. This paper proves the theorem bijectively, with some of the…

The Dyson rank of an integer partition is the difference between its largest part and the number of parts it contains. Using Fine-Dyson symmetry, we give formulas for the number of partitions of n with rank larger than n/2, and we prove…

In this paper, we introduce a natural geometric extension of the partition function. More precisely, we investigate the problem of counting partitions of a rectangle into rectangular blocks with integer sides. Here, two partitions of a…

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…

We give a closed formula for the number of partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ such that the corresponding irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of $S_n$ has non-trivial determinant. We determine how many of these partitions are self-conjugate and…

The notion of noncrossing partitions of a partially ordered set (poset) is introduced here. When the poset in question is $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$ with the complete order of natural numbers, conventional noncrossing partitions arise. The…

It is well known that the Bell numbers represent the total number of partitions of an n-set. Similarly, the Stirling numbers of the second kind, represent the number of k-partitions of an n-set. In this paper we introduce a certain…

It is proved that the number of 9-regular partitions of n is divisible by 3 when n is congruent to 3 mod 4, and by 6 when n is congruent to 13 mod 16. An infinite family of congruences mod 3 holds in other progressions modulo powers of 4…

Let P be a planar n-point set. A k-partition of P is a subdivision of P into n/k parts of roughly equal size and a sequence of triangles such that each part is contained in a triangle. A line is k-shallow if it has at most k points of P…

For $k\geq i\geq 1$, let $B_{k,i}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ such that part 1 appears at most $i-1$ times, two consecutive integers l and $l+1$ appear at most $k-1$ times and if l and $l+1$ appear exactly $k-1$ times then…

An ordered partition of $[n]=\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ is a partition whose blocks are endowed with a linear order. Let $\mathcal{OP}_{n,k}$ be set of ordered partitions of $[n]$ with $k$ blocks and $\mathcal{OP}_{n,k}(\sigma)$ be set of ordered…

Let $p_2(n)$ denote the number of cubic partitions. In this paper, we shall present two new congruences modulo $11$ for $p_2(n)$. We also provide an elementary alternative proof of a congruence established by Chan. Furthermore, we will…

The partition problem is a well-known basic NP-complete problem. We mainly consider the optimization version of it in this paper. The problem has been investigated from various perspectives for a long time and can be solved efficiently in…

We find that a wide variety of families of partition statistics stabilize in a fashion similar to $p_k(n)$, the number of partitions of n with k parts, which satisfies $p_k(n) = p_{k+1}(n + 1), k \geq n/2$. We bound the regions of…

We derive a formula for the expected number of blocks of a given size from a non-crossing partition chosen uniformly at random. Moreover, we refine this result subject to the restriction of having a number of blocks given. Furthermore, we…

Let $A_k(n)$ denote the set of $k$-distinct partitions of $n$, and let $B_k(n)$ be the set of $k$-regular partitions of $n$. Glaisher showed that $\# A_k(n) = \# B_k(n)$. For $k=2$, this equality yields the celebrated Euler's partition…
