Asymptotic Briggs inequalities for regular partitions and overpartitions

About 2 years old · traced to

Let pk(n)p_k(n) and p‾k(n)\overline{p}_k(n) denote the kk-regular partition and kk-regular overpartition functions, respectively, and let the inequalities referred to in the source as (p_kmain) and (opk-main) be the corresponding Briggs inequalities. The conjecture. For every positive integer k≥2k\geq 2, there exists N(k)N(k) such that both inequalities hold for all n≥N(k)n\geq N(k). The paper proves the claim in certain ranges of kk and discusses computational evidence for 2≤k≤1002\leq k\leq 100, but the supplied text does not establish the conjecture for every kk.
