A central limit theorem for integer partitions into small powers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The study of the well-known partition function p(n) counting the number of solutions to n=a1+dots+aell with integers 1leqa1leqdotsleqaell has a long history in combinatorics. In this paper, we study a variant, namely partitions of integers into �egin{equation*} n=lfloor a_1^alpha floor + cdots + lfloor a_ell^alpha floor end{equation*} with 1leqa1<cdots<aell and some fixed 0<alpha<1. In particular, we prove a central limit theorem for the number of summands in such partitions, using the saddle point method.
