A SURVEY OF FACTORIZATION COUNTING FUNCTIONS

From MaRDI portal





Let \(H(n)\) and \(P(n)\) represent the number of factorizations of the positive integer \(n\) into factors in which the order of the factors distinguishes factorizations, respectively in which the order of factors is immaterial. Let \(H_d(n)\) and \(P_d(n)\) be defined as \(H(n)\), respectively \(P(n)\), but where in addition we require that the factorization be into distinct parts. The authors survey results on these functions and in addition offer some new identities and observations for these and related counting functions. Furthermore they derive some new recursive algorithms to generate lists of factorizations with restrictions of various types.
