Apr 25, 2017 at 11:07 comment added Amritanshu Prasad Numerical data also suggests that, for $n>101$, $p_2(n) > n^2 p(n)$, and for $n>321$, $p_2(n)>n^3 p(n)$, and for $n>701$, $p_2(n)>n^4 p(n)$. Could it be that, for every positive integer $k$, $p_2(n) > n^k p(n)$, provided that $n$ is sufficiently large (how large depends on $k$).
Apr 25, 2017 at 9:20 comment added Harry Huang Numerical data suggests that $p(a)p(b)>p(n)$ when $a+b=n\geq 10$ and $a,b\geq 2$. I haven't found a nice combinatorial proof though.
Apr 25, 2017 at 5:03 comment added Martin Rubey Just to clarify: I used the definition "square of the generating function for partitions" for the generating function for bipartitions.

Apr 25, 2017 at 2:51 comment added T. Amdeberhan After the OP's edit, the generating function is simply: $\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac1{(1-x^k)^2}$.

Apr 24, 2017 at 17:42 comment added Martin Rubey I should add that it is clear that it does satisfy an ADE, what may be surprising is that it would be so nice.
Apr 24, 2017 at 17:39 comment added Martin Rubey In case it helps, the generating function for the number of bipartitions apparently satisfies a very nice ADE, similar to the one for partitions mathoverflow.net/a/47706/3032: $${{x^2}{{{f(x)}}^2}{{f^{{(iv)}}}(x)}}+{{({8{x^2}{f(x)}{{f'}(x)}}+{5x{{{f(x)}}^2}})}{{f'''}(x)}}-{21{x^2}{f(x)}{{{{f''}(x)}}^2}}+{{({12{x^{2}}{{{{f'}(x)}}^2}}-{15x{f(x)}{{f'}(x)}}+{4{{{f(x)}}^2}})}{{f''}(x)}}+{10x{{{{f'}(x)}}^3}}-{10{f(x)}{{{{f'}(x)}}^2}}=0$$
