Abstract

Based on the combinatorial proof of Schur's partition theorem given by Bressoud, and the combinatorial proof of Alladi's partition theorem given by Padmavathamma, Raghavendra and Chandrashekara, we obtain a bijective proof of a partition theorem of Alladi, Andrews and Gordon.

Summary

Introduction

In 1926, Schur [15] proved one of the most profound results in the theory of partitions, which can be stated as follows.Theorem 1.1 (Schur). Let B(n) be the number of partitions of n into distinct parts ≡ 2, 4, 5 (mod 6). Let C(n) be the number of partitions of n into distinct parts λ1 > λ2 > λ3 > · · · where no part equals 1 or 3, and λi − λi+1 6 with strict inequality if λi ≡ 6, 7 or 9 ( mod 6).
