No. es on partitions. and their generating functions1. Partitions of n.In these notes we are concerned with partition. of a number n, as opposed to partitions of a set. A partition of n is a combination (unordered, with repetitions allowed) of pos. tive integers, called the parts, that add up to n. In other words, a part.

restricted classes of partitions based on the sizes of parts that appear, or the number of times they appear. For instance, partitions in which all parts are odd have generating function O(q) = X1 n=0 p o(n)qn = Y1 k=1 1 1 q2k 1: Partitions in which parts may appear at most once have generating function D(q) = X1 n=0 p d(n)qn = Y1 k=1 (1 + qk):

Note: There 14 generating functions and 15 descriptions listed below because two of the descriptions have the same generating function. (1) the number of partitions of n (2) the number of partitions of n into exactly k parts (3) the number of partitions of n with parts of size k only (4) the number of partitions of n with parts of size less ...

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...
Theorem 1. Let Aand Bbe classes of objects and let A(x) and B(x) be their generating functions. Then the class C= AB has generating function C(x) = A(x)B(x). Proof. Let c nbe the number of objects of size nin the Cartesian product C= AB . These objects c= (a;b) are obtained by picking an object a2Aof size k n(a k choices) and an object b2B of ...

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 (m + n n), and so it is denoted by [m + n n]q. It is called a q-binomial coefficient. Compute [4 2]q = [2 + 2 2]q.

Exponential Generating Functions De nition The formal series F(x) := X n 0 f(n) xn n! associated to the counting map f : N 0!C is called the exponential generating function (EGF) of f. We also use the notation[xn=n!]F(x) := f(n). Felix Gotti felixgotti@berkeley.eduIntro to Generating Functions
