Notes on partitions and their generating functions 1. Partitions of n. In these notes we are concerned with partitions of a number n, as opposed to partitions of a set. A partition of nis a combination (unordered, with repetitions allowed) of positive integers, called the parts, that add up to n.

and Seq(A) is the set of binary sequences. Because of Theorem 1 we see that the generating function of the class C= Seq(A) is C(x) = X k 0 A(x)k where A(x) is the generating function of A. Observe also that X k 0 A(x)k= 1 1 A(x) since (1 A(x)) X k 0 A(x)k= (1 A(x)) (1 + A(x) + A(x)2 + A(x)3 + :::) = 1:

A partition of an integer, n, is one way of writing n as the sum of positive integers where the order of the addends (terms being added) does not matter. p(n, k) = number of partitions of n with k ...

The empty partition (with no parts) is the unique partition of , so . The unique partition of is , so . , so . , so . , so . , so . Partitions are often written in tuple notation, so we might denote the partitions of by and . This notation is often further abbreviated to word notation (by dropping the parentheses and commas, so becomes ) or by indi...
A Ferrers diagramis a way to represent partitions geometrically. The diagram consists of rows of dots. Each row represents a different addend in the partition. The rows are ordered in non-increasing order so that that the row with the most dots is on the top and the row with the least dots is on the bottom. For example, 9 can be partitioned into 4 ...
Generating functions can be used to deal with some problems involving partitions. Here we derive the generating function for the number of partitions of . Consider partitioning into addends that are equal to 1. The generating function for this is since there is only one way to represent as the sum of 1s. Consider partitioning numbers using just 2s ...
An interesting theorem is that the number of partitions consisting of only consecutive positive integers of is the number of odd divisors of . Proof:Let be the smallest part in such a partition and let be the number of parts. Then we have , so and finally . Let's allow negative integers in our partition for a moment, and let denote the number of od...
The Partition Generating function implies that $\prod_{k \geq 1} \left(1+uz^{2k-1}\right)$ is the bivariate generating function enumerating the class of partitions with odd distinct parts by size and number of parts.
Definition \(\PageIndex{1}\): Partition. A partition of a positive integer \(n\) is a multiset of positive integers that sum to \(n\). We denote the number of partitions of \(n\) by \(p_n\).

Jul 29, 2021 · Geometrically, it is the generating function for partitions whose Young diagram fits into an \(m\) by \(n\) rectangle, as in Problem 168. This generating function has significant analogs to the binomial coefficient \(\binom{m+n}{n}\), and so it is denoted by \(\begin{bmatrix} m+n \\ n \end{bmatrix}_{q}\). It is called a \(q\)-binomial coefficient.
