Which unordered partition of $n$ gives rise to the largest number of ordered partitions?
Some heuristic way to the answer, related to well-known properties of the entropy of probability distributions, is loosely as follows.
Set $m=\sum_i a_i$ and $p_i=a_i/m$, so that $p=(p_i)_{i\ge1}$ is …

Analogy between Integers and Permutations
If I remember well, there is also a correspondence between the degrees of factors of polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[X]$, the size of cycles of riffle-shuffle permutations (a brand of non-uniform random …
