Chen's conjectures on inequalities for the Andrews spt-function
Chen's conjectures on inequalities for the Andrews spt-function
Let denote the partition function and let denote the smallest-parts function, which counts the smallest parts among the partitions of . Chen's conjectures. The following inequalities hold:
- For ,
- For or ,
- For ,
- For ,
- For ,
- For ,
These inequalities concern lower and upper bounds, supermultiplicativity, log-concavity, and ratio inequalities for the spt-function. The paper introduces them as recent conjectures of Chen; the supplied text does not indicate that any of them has been resolved.
