In 2016 Bessenrodt–Ono discovered an inequality addressing additive and multiplicative properties of the partition function. Generalization by several authors have been given; on partitions with rank in a given residue class by Hou–Jagadeesan and Males, on k-regular partitions by Beckwith–Bessenrodt, on k-colored partitions by Chern, Fu, Tang, and Heim–Neuhauser on their polynomization, and Dawsey–Masri on the Andrews spt -function. The proofs depend on non-trivial asymptotic formulas related… Expand

Combinatorial Proof of a Partition Inequality of Bessenrodt-Ono
• Mathematics

We provide a combinatorial proof of the inequality \$\${p(a)p(b) > p(a+b)}\$\$p(a)p(b)>p(a+b), where p(n) is the partition function and a, \$\${b > 1}\$\$b>1 are integers satisfying \$\${a+b > 9}\$\$a+b>9. ThisExpand

The Pólya–Jensen criterion for the Riemann hypothesis asserts that RH is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of certain Jensen polynomials for all degrees d≥1 and all shifts n, and this criterion is confirmed for all sufficiently large shifts n. Expand
