Eventual residue-class bias for unrestricted partitions and related partitions
Let denote the number of partitions of for which the relevant residue-class statistic indexed by exceeds that indexed by . For positive integers satisfying and , with , define the comparison threshold by the eventual inequality below.
Eventual bias conjecture. There exists a constant such that
Moreover,
except that , , , and . The conjecture proposes an eventual ordering of the two residue-class counts; the paper motivates it through generating functions and extensive computer experiments, while the general assertion remains open.
