Let \(U(n,A)\) be the set of partitions of the integer \(n\) into summands taken from a given sequence \(A\) of positive integers. \textit{G. Meinardus} [Math. Z. 59, 388-398 (1954; Zbl 0055.038)] proved an asymptotic relation for \(| U(n,A)|\) as \(n\to\infty\) supposing that the generating function satisfies certain analytic conditions. Putting the uniform probability measure on \(U(n,A)\), the author obtains the following result on the joint distribution of the number of summands in various subsequences of \(A\). Let \(A_ 1, A_ 2,\dots, A_ d\) be disjoint sets of positive integers whose union is \(A\). For \(\lambda\in U(n,A)\), let \(Y_{i,n} (\lambda)\) denote the number of summands of \(\lambda\) that are contained in \(A_ i\), counted without multiplicity. If the sets satisfy certain conditions (essentially due to Meinardus), the random vector \(Y_ n= (Y_{1,n}, Y_{2,n},\dots, Y_{d,n})\) is asymptotically normally distributed. A curious feature is that not all the sets need to satisfy all the conditions.
