Dominant residue classes concerning the summands of partitions (Q2479911)

Let \(d \geq 2\) and \({\mathcal R} = \{N_1,\dots,N_d\}\) a set of positive integers. Let \(\prod_d(n,{\mathcal R})\) denote the number of partitions of \(n\) with exactly \(N_r\) parts congruent to \(r\pmod d\) for \(1 \leq r \leq d\). In this paper the authors give an asymptotic formula for \(\prod_d(n+R,{\mathcal R})\) when \(n \equiv 0\pmod d\) and \(d \leq n^{\frac18-\varepsilon}\), where \( R= \sum^d_{r=1} rN_r\). The authors also present results concerning the distribution of the parts in residue classes when \(r=2\).
