Is "OEIS A001935 Number of partitions with no even part repeated" efficiently computable $\mod 4$?

Is A001935 Number of partitions with no even part repeated efficiently computable $\mod 4$? I am interested because of this relation with sum of divisors of $8n+1$. $\sigma(8n+1) \equiv A001935(n) \...

Why are these Littlewood-Richardson coefficients congruent to 1 mod 8?

Let $n\in{\mathbb N}$ and write $n=q_1+q_2+\dots+q_t$, where $q_1>q_2>\dots>q_t$ are powers of $2$. Let $\lambda_n$ be the partition with Frobenius symbol $(q_1-1,q_2-1,\dots,q_t-1;q_t,q_{t-1}...

An inequality involving integer partitions

For integers $n\ge k\ge0$, let $p(n,k)$ denote the number of ways to write $n$ as a sum of $k$ positive integers (repetition allowed). For example, $p(6,3)=3$ since $$6=1+1+4=1+2+3=2+2+2.$$ QUESTION. ...

Sequence which is related to the binary expansion of $n$ and partition numbers

Let $p(n)$ be A000041 i.e. the number of partitions of $n$ (the partition numbers). Let $$ \ell(n)=\left\lfloor\log_2 n\right\rfloor $$ Let $\operatorname{wt}(n)$ be A000120 i.e. number of $1$'s in ...

Writing integers as sequences of products by 2 and integer divisions by 3

For any integer, we consider its decompositions into sequences of products by $2$ and integer division by $3$. For instance: $$ 100 = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \...

Equi-distribution of the parity of partitions

The integer partition function $p(n)$ has a generating function given by $$\frac1{(q)_{\infty}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}p(n)q^n$$ with $(q)_{\infty}=\prod_{m=1}^{\infty}(1-q^m)$. The long-standing problem ...

Conjecture on numbers $k$ having only one partition into parts with same binary weight as a binary weight of $k$

Let $\operatorname{tr}(n)$ be A007814, number of trailing zeros in the binary representation of $n$. Also, let $\operatorname{ntr}(n)$ be A086784, number of non-trailing zeros in the binary ...

Classic question on integer partitions (with distinct summands)

I guess that the following was solved sometime in the 18th century, but could not find a reference to it. I am interested in approximations to the following integer partition problem: Denote $R(N,L)$ ...
