Partitions into Piatetski-Shapiro sequences

Abstract

Let $\kappa$ be a positive real number and $m\in \mathbb{N}\cup \{\infty \}$ be given. Let $p_{\kappa ,m}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ into the parts from the Piatestki-Shapiro sequence $(\lfloor {\ell }^{\kappa }\rfloor {)}_{\ell \in \mathbb{N}}$ with at most $m$ times (repetition allowed). In this paper we establish asymptotic formulas of Hardy-Ramanujan type for $p_{\kappa ,m}(n)$, by employing a framework of asymptotics of partitions established by Roth-Szekeres in 1953, as well as some results on equidistribution.
