    The \(k\)-measure of a partition is the length of the largest subsequence (not necessarily consecutive) of parts in a partition in which the difference between any two consecutive parts of the subsequence is at least \(k\). This notion was recently introduced by \textit{G. E. Andrews} et al. [Integers 22, Paper A32, 9 p. (2022; Zbl 1494.05007)]. In this paper, the authors establish trivariate generating function identities counting both the length and the \(k\)-measure for partitions and partitions into distinct parts.
