In this paper, we provide an explicit formula for $$\\sum_{\\la} C(\\la) q^{\\sum_{i\\in S} \\la_i}$$ where $\\la=(\\la_1,\\ldots)$ run through some subsets of over-partitions, and $C(\\la)$ is a certain product of ``colors'' assigned to the parts of $\\la$. This formula allows us not only to retrieve several known Schmidt-type theorems but also to provide new Schmidt-type theorems for sets $S$ with non-periodic gaps. The example of $S=\\{n(n-1)/2+1:n\\in 1\\}$ leads to the following statement: for all non-negative integer $m$, the number of partitions such that $\\sum_{i\\in S}\\la_i =m$ is equal to the number of plane partitions of $m$. Furthermore, we introduce a new family of partitions, the block partitions, generalizing the $k$-elongated partitions. From that family of partitions, we provide a generalization of a Schmidt-type theorem due to Andrews and Paule regarding $k$-elongated partitions and establish a link with the Eulerian polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-27T17:16:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A17", "11P83", "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "systematic study", "schmidt-type partitions", "weighted words", "schmidt-type theorem", "elongated partitions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
