Identically distributed pairs of partition statistics (Q1580543)

Euler's theorem that the number of partitions of \(n\) with distinct parts is the same as the number with odd parts is generalized. The author in fact shows that many theorems which assert that two kinds of partitions of the same integer \(n\) are equinumerous are actually special cases of a much stronger form of equality. The method is an extension of the principle of sieve equivalence. Both the method and the author's presentation of it are very elegant.
