Recently, Andrews, Bhattacharjee and Dastidar introduced the concept of [Formula: see text]-measure of an integer partition, and proved a surprising identity that the number of partitions of [Formula: see text] which have [Formula: see text]-measure [Formula: see text] is equal to the number of partitions of [Formula: see text] with a Durfee square of side [Formula: see text]. The authors asked for a bijective proof of this result and also suggested a further exploration of the properties of the number of partitions of [Formula: see text] which have [Formula: see text]-measure [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we perform these tasks. That is, we obtain a short combinatorial proof of the result of Andrews, Bhattacharjee and Dastidar, and using this proof, we obtain a natural generalization for [Formula: see text]-measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
