Our proof establishes actually a refinement of that partition identity. The original identity was first discovered by the first author jointly with M. Ruby Salestina and S. R. Sudarshan in [\"A new theorem on partitions,\" Proc. Int. Conference on Special Functions, IMSC, Chennai, India, September 23-27, 2002; to appear], where it was also given a combinatorial proof, thus responding a question of Andrews.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-03-07T14:34:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "05A17", "05A19", "11P81", "11P82", "11P83" ], "keywords": [ "partition identity", "analytic proof", "restrictions", "combinatorial proof", "proof establishes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......3121P" } } }
