A partial least squares analysis of gender inequality, occupational segregation, and economic growth: Evidence from Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesRegional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 1299-1316, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The biggest barrier to an egalitarian Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) appears to be deeply ingrained structural obstacles and gender imbalances. The significant prevalence of gender inequities, which have both structural and economic ramifications, must be addressed if SSA is committed to achieving the Africa 2063 Agenda (the Africa we want) and ...

The false theta functions of Rodgers and their modularity

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 963-980, August 2021., 2021
Abstract In this survey article, we explain how false theta functions can be embedded into a modular framework and show some of the applications of this modularity.

Maximum entropy and integer partitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
We derive asymptotic formulas for the number of integer partitions with given sums of \(j\)th powers of the parts for \(j\) belonging to a finite, non-empty set \(J \subset \mathbb N\).

Congruences in ordered pairs of partitions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 47, Page 2509-2512, 2004., 2004
Dyson defined the rank of a partition (as the first part minus the number of parts) whilst investigating certain congruences in the sequence p−1(n). The rank has been widely studied as have been other statistics, such as the crank. In this paper a “birank” is defined which relates to ordered pairs of partitions, and is used in an elementary proof of a ...

A Combinatorial proof of a partition identity of Andrews and Stanley

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 47, Page 2495-2501, 2004., 2004
In his paper, “On a partition function of Richard Stanley,” George Andrews proves a certain partition identity analytically and asks for a combinatorial proof.This paper provides the requested combinatorial proof.

Computational proofs of congruences for 2‐colored Frobenius partitions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 29, Issue 6, Page 333-340, 2002., 2002
In 1994, the following infinite family of congruences was conjectured for the partition function cΦ2(n) which counts the number of 2‐colored Frobenius partitions of n: for all n ≥ 0 and α ≥ 1, cΦ2(5αn + λα) ≡ 0(mod5α), where λα is the least positive reciprocal of 12 modulo 5α. In this paper, the first four cases of this family are proved.

n‐Color partitions with weighted differences equal to minus two

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 759-768, 1997., 1997
In this paper we study those n‐color partitions of Agarwal and Andrews, 1987, in which each pair of parts has weighted difference equal to −2 Results obtained in this paper for these partitions include several combinatorial identities, recurrence relations, generating functions, relationships with the divisor function and computer produced tables.

q‐Analogue of a binomial coefficient congruence

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 197-200, 1995., 1995
We establish a q‐analogue of the congruence where p is a prime and a and b are positive integers.

Congruences involving F‐partition functions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 187-188, 1994., 1994
The primary goal of this note is to prove the congruence ϕ3(3n + 2) ≡ 0(mod3), where ϕ3(n) denotes the number of F‐partitions of n with at most 3 repetitions. Secondarily, we conjecture a new family of congruences involving cϕ2(n), the number of F‐partitions of n with 2 colors.
