Linear inequalities concerning the sum of the distinct parts congruent to r modulo m in all the partitions of n

Abstract

We investigate the sum of the parts congruent to r modulo m counted without multiplicity in all the partitions of n. Considering truncated theta series, we introduce a collection of infinite families of linear inequalities involving this sum. We provide connections with partitions with nonnegative rank, partition with non- negative crank and Garden of Eden partitions.
