Estimate the order of restricted number partitions

There are $k$ integers $m_l,1\leq l\leq k $(maybe negetive), satisfiying $|m_l|\leq M$ and $\sum_l m_l=s$. I want to get an order estimate of the number of solutions for $k, M$ when fixing $s$. I came ...

Show that series converges by estimating number of partitions into distinct parts

I need some help with solving the following problem: Let $Q(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. Show that $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{Q(n)}{2^n}$$ is convergent by estimating $Q(n)...

Number of unordered factorizations of a non-square-free positive integer

I recently discovered that the number of multiplicative partitions of some integer $n$ with $i$ prime factors is given by the Bell number $B_i$, provided that $n$ is a square-free integer. So, is ...

In how many ways can I express a positive integer as a sum of elements in a subset of $\mathbb Z^+$?

Let $S\subseteq \mathbb Z^+$ be set of positive integers. Given $n\in\mathbb Z^+$, how can I find the number of ways in which we can express $n$ as a sum of elements in $S$? ($S$ can be infinite.) $$ ...
