Generalized Alder-type partition inequalities (Q6162144): Difference between revisions

Summary: In [Discrete Math. 343, No. 7, Article ID 111882, 5 p. (2020; Zbl 1440.05041)], \textit{S.-Y. Kang} and \textit{E. Y. Park} conjectured a ``level \(2\)'' Alder-type partition inequality which encompasses the second Rogers-Ramanujan Identity. \textit{A. L. Duncan} et al. [Res. Number Theory 7, No. 1, Paper No. 11, 26 p. (2021; Zbl 1456.05012)] proved Kang and Park's conjecture [loc. cit.] for all but finitely many cases utilizing a ``shift'' inequality and conjectured a further, weaker generalization that would extend both \textit{H. L. Alder}'s [``Research problems, No. 4'', Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 62, No. 1, 76 (1956)] (now proven) as well as Kang and Park's conjecture to general level. Utilizing a modified shift inequality, \textit{R. Inagaki} and \textit{R. Tamura} [``On generalizations of a conjecture of Kang and Park'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:2206.04842}] have recently proven that the Kang and Park conjecture holds for level \(3\) in all but finitely many cases. They further conjectured a stronger shift inequality which would imply a general level result for all but finitely many cases. Here, we prove their conjecture for large enough \(n\), generalize the result for an arbitrary shift, and discuss the implications for Alder-type partition inequalities.
