Distribution of the Sum of Reciprocal Parts for Distinct Parts Partitions

  • Walter Bridges

摘要

Given an integer partition of n into distinct parts, the sum of the reciprocal parts is an example of an Egyptian fraction. We study this statistic under the uniform measure on distinct parts partitions of n and prove that, as \(n \rightarrow \infty \) n , the sum of reciprocal parts is distributed away from its mean like a random harmonic series.
