Generating function for K-restricted jagged partitions (2005)
Journal Article
Fortin, J., Jacob, P., & Mathieu, P. (2005). Generating function for K-restricted jagged partitions. Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 12,

We present a natural extension of Andrews' multiple sums counting partitions of the form (λ1,⋯,λm) with λi≥λi+k−1+2. The multiple sum that we construct is the generating function for the so-called K-restricted jagged partitions. A jagged partition is...
