On the counting function of sets with even partition functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let q be an odd positive integer and P in F2[z] be of order q and such that P(0) = 1. We denote by A = A(P) the unique set of positive integers satisfying sum_{n=0}^infty p(A, n) z^n equiv P(z) (mod 2), where p(A,n) is the number of partitions of n with parts in A. In [5], it is proved that if A(P, x) is the counting function of the set A(P) then A(P, x) << x(log x)^{-r/phi(q)}, where r is the order of 2 modulo q and phi is Euler's function. In this paper, we improve on the constant c=c(q) for which A(P,x) << x(log x)^{-c}.
