Abstract

Using the Saddle point method and multiseries expansions, we obtain from the exponential formula and Cauchy's integral formula, asymptotic results for the number $T(n,m,k)$ of partitions of $n$ labeled objects with $m$ blocks of fixed size $k$. We analyze the central and non-central region. In the region $m=n/k-n^\al,\quad 1>\al>1/2$, we analyze the dependence of $T(n,m,k)$ on $\al$. This paper fits within the framework of Analytic Combinatorics.

Summary

Introduction

Set partitions parameters have long been a topic of investigation. See, for example, Graham et al [7], Knuth [9], Mansour [13], Stanley [15], for other investigations of set partitions. Let Π(n) be the set of partitions of n labeled objects, with Bn := |Π(n)| denoting the nth Bell number. We note that exp(ez − 1) is the exponential generating function (GF) of the class of set partitions Πnk=1aXk k(λ), λ∈Π(n) and Xk(λ) is the number of blocks in λ of fixed size k, λ denoting a set partition. The series is computed in terms of the variable of maximum order, the coefficients of which are given in terms of the next-to-maximum order, etc This is more precise than mixing different terms. Our paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, we consider the central region, where we re-derive, with more precision, the asymptotic Gaussian property of Jn. In Section 3, we analyze the large deviation m = n/k − nα, with 1 > α > 1/2. We provide a brief justification of some integration procedures
