Exact asymptotic constant for the number of distinct multinomial coefficients

About 21 years old · traced to

Let M(n)M(n) denote the number of distinct multinomial coefficients arising from partitions of nn. Exact-asymptotic-constant conjecture.

lim⁡n→∞log⁡M(n)n=π32.\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\log M(n)}{\sqrt n}=\frac{\pi}{3}\sqrt{2}.

The paper explains that this would follow from the two proposed partition bounds, which would replace the earlier conjecture asserting only the existence of a positive limiting constant. It remains open in the source.
