For any positive integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the number of solutions of the equation [Formula: see text] with integers [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the integral part of real number [Formula: see text]. Recently, Luca and Ralaivaosaona gave an asymptotic formula for [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give an asymptotic development of [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we prove that the number of such partitions is even (respectively, odd) infinitely often.

We obtain a new proof of an asymptotic formula for the coefficients of the j-invariant of elliptic curves. Our proof does not use the circle method. We use Laplace's method of steepest descent and the Hardy–Ramanujan asymptotic formula for the partition function. (The latter asymptotic formula can be derived without the circle method.)

AbstractKessler and Livingstone proved an asymptotic formula for the expected length of the largest part of a partition drawn uniformly at random. As a first step they gave an exact formula expressed as a weighted sum of Euler's partition function. Here we give a short bijective proof of a generalization of this exact formula to the expected length of the

Abstract In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula with an effective bound on the error term for the Andrews smallest parts function {{\mathrm{spt}}(n)} . We use this formula to prove recent conjectures of Chen concerning inequalities which involve the partition function {p(n)} and {{\mathrm{spt}}(n)} . Further, we strengthen one of the conjectures, and prove that for every {\epsilon>0} there is an effectively computable constant {N(\epsilon)>0} such that for all {n\geq N(\epsilon)} , we have \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\pi}\sqrt{n}\,p(n)<{\mathrm{spt}}(n)<\bigg{(}\frac{\sqrt{6}}{% \pi}+\epsilon\bigg{)}\sqrt{n}\,p(n). Due to the conditional convergence of the Rademacher-type formula for {{\mathrm{spt}}(n)} , we must employ methods which are completely different from those used by Lehmer to give effective error bounds for {p(n)} . Instead, our approach relies on the fact that {p(n)} and {{\mathrm{spt}}(n)} can be expressed as traces of singular moduli.

For a finite set A of positive integers, we study the partition function pA(n). This function enumerates the partitions of the positive integer n into parts in A. We give simple proofs of some known and unknown identities and congruences for pA(n). For n in a special residue class, pA(n) is a polynomial in n. We examine these polynomials for linear factors, and the results are applied to a restricted m-ary partition function. We extend the domain of pA and prove a reciprocity formula with supplement. In closing we consider an asymptotic formula for pA(n) and its refinement.

We denote by b(n) the number of ways of expressing the positive integer n as the sum of powers of 2 and we call b(n) ‘the binary partition function’. This function has been studied by Euler (1), Tanturri (2–4), Mahler (5), de Bruijn(6) and Pennington (7). Euler and Tanturri were primarily concerned with deriving formulae for the precise calculation of b(n), whereas Mahler deduced an asymptotic formula for log b(n) from his analysis of the functions satisfying a certain class of functional equations. De Bruijn and Pennington extended Mahler's work and obtained more precise results.
