Parity-density conjecture for partitions with odd multiplicities

About 6 years old · traced to

Let a(n)a(n) denote the number of partitions of nn in which every part occurs with odd multiplicity. For a sequence, say that its odd values have density dd when the corresponding limiting proportion exists. Parity-density conjecture. The coefficients a(8m+7)a(8m+7) are odd with density 1/21/2. Equivalently, a(n)a(n) is odd with density 1/161/16. This concerns the arithmetic progression n≡7(mod8)n\equiv 7\pmod{8}, the only progression not covered by the paper's preceding parity characterizations; computational data suggests that its behavior differs sharply from the density-zero behavior outside this progression, but the conjecture remains wide open.
