The largest size of an (s,s + 1)-core partition with parts of the same parity

Abstract

Finding the largest size of a partition under certain restrictions has been an interesting subject to study. For example, it is proved by Olsson and Stanton that for two coprime integers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the largest size of an [Formula: see text]-core partition is [Formula: see text]. Xiong found a formula for the largest size of a [Formula: see text]-core partitions with distinct parts. In this paper, we find an explicit formula for the largest size of an [Formula: see text]-core partition such that all parts are odd (or even).
