Minimizing coefficients in a product related to the Rogers Ramanujan identity

Start with the product for partitions into parts congruent to $1$ or $4$ modulo $5$: $(1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + ...)(1 + x^4 + x^8 + x^{12} +...)(1 + x^6 + x^{12} + x^{18} +...)$... Now replace some of the ...

The sum of integers being a bijection

What are the pairs $(P,Q)$ of subsets of $\mathbb N$ for which the map \begin{eqnarray*} P\times Q & \rightarrow & {\mathbb N} \\\\ (p,q) & \mapsto & p+q \end{eqnarray*} is a bijection ...

Linking formulas by Euler, Pólya, Nekrasov-Okounkov

Consider the formal product $$F(t,x,z):=\prod_{j=0}^{\infty}(1-tx^j)^{z-1}.$$ (a) If $z=2$ then on the one hand we get Euler's $$F(t,x,2)=\sum_{n\geq0}\frac{(-1)^nx^{\binom{n}2}}{(x;x)_n}t^n,$$ on the ...

On a certain $(-1)$-Eulerian polynomials of type $B$

Let $(q)_n=(1-q)(1-q^2)\cdots(1-q^n)$ with $(q)_0:=1$. Define a $q$-exponential by $$e_q(z)=\sum_{n\geq0}\frac{z^n}{(q)_n}.$$ There is a notion of $q$-Eulerian polynomials of type $A$, see the ...

Partitions, $q$-polynomials and generating functions

Recall the integer partition function $P(n)$ with generating function $$\sum_{n\geq0}P(n)x^n=\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac1{1-x^k}.$$ Let $[n]_q=\frac{1-q^n}{1-q}$ denote the $q$-analogue of the integer $...

$q$-Eulerian type B enjoy symmetry

Let $(q;q)_n=(1-q)(1-q^2)\cdots(1-q^n)$ with $(q;q)_0:=1$. Define a $q$-exponential by $$e(z;q)=\sum_{n\geq0}\frac{z^n}{(q;q)_n}.$$ There is a notion of $q$-Eulerian polynomials, see the reference. I ...

A Product Related to Unrestricted Partitions

Start with the product for unrestricted partitions: $(1+x+x^2+...)(1+x^2+x^4+...)(1+x^3+x^6+...)...$ Now replace some of the plus signs with minus signs and expand the product into a series. Is it ...
