Arndt and Carlitz Compositions

Brian Hopkins, Aram Tangboonduangjit

Carlitz considered integer compositions in which adjacent parts must be unequal. Arndt recently initiated the study of restricted compositions based on conditions applied to certai…

Extending Andrews and Newman's refinement of the crank-mex theorem

George E. Andrews, Brian Hopkins

The crank-mex theorem states that the number of integer partitions of with nonnegative crank equals the number with odd minimal excludant (mex). Andrews and M. Newman recently…

Water Cells in Compositions of 1s and 2s

Brian Hopkins, Aram Tangboonduangjit

Mansour and Shattuck introduced the notion of water cells for integer compositions in 2018. We focus on compositions with parts restricted to 1 and 2 and consider the array of coun…

Partitions with fixed points in the sequence of first-column hook lengths

Philip Cuthbertson, David J. Hemmer, Brian Hopkins +1

Recently, Blecher and Knopfmacher applied the notion of fixed points to integer partitions. This has already been generalized and refined in various ways such as -fixed points f…

Refining Blecher and Knopfmacher's Integer Partition Fixed Points

Brian Hopkins

Recently, Blecher and Knopfmacher explored the notion of fixed points in integer partitions. Here, we distinguish partitions with a fixed point by which value is fixed and analyze…

On Blecher and Knopfmacher's Fixed Points for Integer Partitions

Brian Hopkins, James A. Sellers

Recently, Blecher and Knopfmacher explored the notion of fixed points in integer partitions and hypothesized on the relative number of partitions with and without a fixed point. We…
