摘要

Let p(n) denote the partition function. In this paper our main goal is to derive an asymptotic expansion up to order N (for any fixed positive integer N) along with estimates for error bounds for the shifted quotient of the partition function, namely \(p(n+k)/p(n)\) p ( n + k ) / p ( n ) with \(k\in \mathbb {N}\) k N , which generalizes a result of Gomez, Males, and Rolen. In order to do so, we derive asymptotic expansions with error bounds for the shifted version \(p(n+k)\) p ( n + k ) and the multiplicative inverse 1/p(n), which is of independent interest.
