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.
It is seen to have dimension 0 only in the cases where ℓ = 5, 7 or 11 and since the partition function can be written as a linear combination of these functions [4] this can be considered a formalization and proof of Ramanujan's observation.
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.
1729 can be expressed as a sum of two positive cubes in two ways, illustrated geometrically. 1729 is also known as Ramanujan number or Hardy–Ramanujan number, named after an anecdote of the British mathematician G. H. Hardy when he visited Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan who was ill in a hospital.
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.
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 Dedekind eta function identities for the functions G and H result by combining only the following two equation chains: The quotient is the Rogers Ramanujan continued fraction accurately: () = But the product leads to a simplified combination of Pochhammer operators:
