A family of polynomials related to integer partitions
For a positive integer $n$, let $p(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$.
For $1\le k\le n$, let $p(n,k)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ having exactly $k$ terms; in other words, $p(n,k)$ is ...

Proving that two sequences of polynomials defined over partitions are inverse to each other
For any fixed $c>0$ consider the polynomials
\begin{align*}
& p_n(X_1,X_2,\ldots) := \frac{n!}{c} \sum\limits_{b=1}^n \frac{c^b}{b!(n+1-b)!} \sum\limits_{\substack{l_1,\ldots,l_b \geq 1 \\ ...

Largest part and length of a partition in play
If $\lambda=(\lambda_1\geq\lambda_2\geq\dots\geq\lambda_k)\vdash n$ is an integer partition of $n$ then $\lambda_1$ is its largest part and $k$ is its length, $\ell(\lambda)$.
Define the statistic $...

How many ways can $N$ be written as a sum of terms in the form $2^i3^j$?
Given a positive integer $N$, let $f(N)$ be the number of ways $N$ can be decomposed as a sum of terms of the form $2^i3^j$, where each such term appears at most once in the sum. For example, $f(10) = ...

Generating function for parity in hooks
Let $\lambda\vdash n$ denote an integer partition of $n$ and $\frak{H}_{\lambda}$ be the multiset of hook lengths of $\lambda$. Further, let $o(\lambda)=\#$ of odd entries and $e(\lambda)=\#$ of even ...

Reading off top hook-lengths in partitions
Given an integer partition $\lambda$ and its Young diagram $Y_{\lambda}$, let $h_{\lambda}(i,j)$ stand for the corresponding hook length of the cell $(i,j)\in Y_{\lambda}$. Write $\lambda\vdash n$ for ...

A discrete operator begets even/odd polynomials
Given a function $f(x)$ define the forward shift operator by $Ef(x)=f(x+1)$ and the discrete derivative $\delta f(x)=(E-1)f(x)=f(x+1)-f(x)$.
Given a partition $\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\dots,\...

degree of a polynomial over set-partitions
Denote $(x)_t = x(x-1)(x-2)\cdots(x-t+1)$ and fix some $t_1,\dots,t_n\in\mathbb{N}$. Now consider the polynomials
$$f_n(x)=\sum_{\pi\in L[n]}(-1)^{\vert\pi\vert-1}(\vert\pi\vert-1)!\prod_{A\in\pi}(x)_{...

Enumerating a class of polynomials
How many equivalence classes of $\Bbb F_2[x,y]$ polynomials with $x$ degree $n_x$ and $y$ degree $n_y$ are there such that each $y^i$ coefficient (polynomial in $\Bbb Z[x]$) is distinct and $x^i$ ...
