Sep 28 at 22:56 comment added Zhi-Wei Sun @Richard Stanley Thank you for informing me the paper of Szekeres on the asymptotic behavior of $p(n,k)$. This paper might be helpful.
Sep 28 at 15:42 comment added Richard Stanley An asymptotic estimate for $p(n,k)$ was obtained by G. Szekeres, Some asymptotic formulae in the theory of partitions (II), Quart. J. Math. Oxford 4 (2), 96--111, that implies the unimodality of the sequence $p(n,1), p(n,2), \dots, p(n,n)$. Does this estimate or some refinement of it imply log-concavity?

Sep 28 at 10:02 comment added Ilya Bogdanov It is very decent to cite related results, if you are aware of them.
Sep 28 at 9:31 comment added Fedor Petrov it worth mention that for fixed $c$ and $n\geqslant 2c$, we have $p(n,n-c)=p(c)$, thus this strengthens the log-concavity of $p(n)$
