Abstract: In this paper, we extend the work of Andrews, Beck and Hopkins by considering partitions and compositions with bounded gaps between each pair of consecutive parts. We show that both their generating functions and two matrices determined by them satisfy certain reciprocal relations.

Review text

The object of this paper mainly concerns partitions and compositions with bounded gaps between each pair of consecutive parts. It is shown that both the generating functions and two related matrices satisfy certain reciprocal relations, thereby extending earlier results of \textit{G. E. Andrews} et al. [Ann. Comb. 24, No. 2, 217--224 (2020; Zbl 1442.05015)], which are further connected to P. D. Hanna's conjecture on complete partitions.
