The values (), …, of the partition function (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, and 22) can be determined by counting the Young diagrams for the partitions of the numbers from 1 to 8. In number theory, the partition function p(n) represents the number of possible partitions of a non-negative integer n.
The initial idea is usually attributed to the work of Hardy with Srinivasa Ramanujan a few years earlier, in 1916 and 1917, on the asymptotics of the partition function.It was taken up by many other researchers, including Harold Davenport and I. M. Vinogradov, who modified the formulation slightly (moving from complex analysis to exponential sums), without changing the broad lines.
In mathematics, Ramanujan's congruences are the congruences for the partition function p(n) discovered by Srinivasa Ramanujan: (+) (), (+) (), (+) ().In plain words, e.g., the first congruence means that If a number is 4 more than a multiple of 5, i.e. it is in the sequence
In mathematics, the Hardy–Ramanujan theorem, proved by Ramanujan and checked by Hardy [1] states that the normal order of the number () of distinct prime factors of a number is . Roughly speaking, this means that most numbers have about this number of distinct prime factors.
2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. The only partition of zero is the empty sum, having no parts. The order-dependent composition 1 + 3 is the same partition as 3 + 1, and the two distinct compositions 1 + 2 + 1 and 1 + 1 + 2 represent the same partition as 2 + 1 + 1. An individual summand in a partition is called a part.
λ k > . . . > λ 2 > λ 1 > 0; then the partition λ is called a strict partition of n. The integers λ k, λ k − 1, ..., λ 1 are the parts of the partition. The number of parts in the partition λ is k and the largest part in the partition is λ k. The rank of the partition λ (whether ordinary or strict) is defined as λ k − k. [1]
The Hardy–Ramanujan theorem: the normal order of ω(n), the number of distinct prime factors of n, is log(log(n)); The normal order of Ω(n), the number of prime factors of n counted with multiplicity, is log(log(n)); The normal order of log(d(n)), where d(n) is the number of divisors of n, is log(2) log(log(n)).
The second Carmichael number (1105) can be expressed as the sum of two squares in more ways than any smaller number. The third Carmichael number (1729) is the Hardy-Ramanujan Number: the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes (of positive numbers) in two different ways.
