Abstract

A famous theorem of Euler asserts that there are as many partitions of n into distinct parts as there are partitions into odd parts. The even parts in partitions of n into distinct parts play an important role in the Euler–Glaisher bijective proof of this result. In this paper, we investigate the number of even parts in all partitions of n into distinct parts providing new combinatorial interpretations for this number.
