Abstract
Abstract Let λ be a partition of the positive integer n chosen uniformly at random among all such partitions. Let Ln = L n (λ) and M n = M n (λ) be the largest part size and its multiplicity, respectively. For large n, we focus on a comparison between the partition statistics L n and L n M n . In terms of convergence in distribution, we show that they behave in the same way. However, it turns out that the expectation of L n M n – L n grows as fast as 1 2 log n {1 \over 2}\log n . We obtain a precise asymptotic expansion for this expectation and conclude with an open problem arising from this study.
