Abstract: For each positive integer $n$, we construct a bijection between the odd partitions and the distinct partitions of $n$ which extends Bressoud's bijection between the odd-and-distinct partitions of $n$ and the splitting partitions of $n$. We compare our bijection with the classical bijections of Glaisher and Sylvester, and also with a recent bijection due to Chen, Gao, Ji and Li.

Review text

For each positive integer \(n\), the author constructs a bijection between the odd partitions of \(n\) and the distinct partitions of \(n\). The bijection extends a bijection due to \textit{D. M. Bressoud} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 79, 338--340 (1980; Zbl 0443.05009)] between the odd and distinct partitions of \(n \) and the splitting partitions of \(n\). The author then compares the constructed bijection with the classical bijections of Glaisher and Sylvester, and also with the one recently constructed by \textit{W. Y. C. Chen} et al. [Ramanujan J. 23, No. 1--3, 137--149 (2010; Zbl 1218.05020)].
