Abstract

K. Alladi first observed the following variant of I. Schur’s 1926 partition theorem. Namely, the number of partitions of n in which all parts are odd and none appears more than twice equals the number of partitions of n in which all parts differ by at least 3 and more than 3 if one of the parts is a multiple of 3. Subsequently, the theorem was refined to count also the number of parts in the relevant partitions. In this paper, a surprising factorization of the related polynomial generating functions is developed.
