Abstract:
Andrews' generalization of MacMahon's partition theorem states that
the number of partitions of n in which odd multiplicities are at
least 2r + 1 is equal to the number of partitions in which odd
parts are congruent to 2r + 1 (mod 4r + 2). In this note,
we give a bijective proof of this generalization. Our result naturally
extends the bijection of Andrews, Ericksson, Petrov, and Romik for
MacMahon's partition theorem.
