چکیده
A bijective proof is given for the following theorem: the number of compositions of n into odd parts equals the number of compositions of n + 1 into parts greater than one. Some commentary about the history of partitions and compositions is provided.

Set partition statistics and q-Fibonacci numbers
We consider the set partition statistics ls and rb introduced by Wachs and White and investigate their distribution over set partitions avoiding certain patterns. In particular, we consider those set partitions avoiding the pattern 13/2, Πn(13/2), and those avoiding both 13/2 and 123, Πn(13/2, 123). We show that the distribution over Πn(13/2) enumerates certain integer partitions, and the distr...
متن کاملCompositions and Fibonacci Identities
We study formulas for Fibonacci numbers as sums over compositions. The Fibonacci number Fn+1 is the number of compositions of n with parts 1 and 2. Compositions with parts 1 and 2 form a free monoid under concatenation, and our formulas arise from free submonoids of this free monoid.
متن کاملGraphs, partitions and Fibonacci numbers
The Fibonacci number of a graph is the number of independent vertex subsets. In this paper, we investigate trees with large Fibonacci number. In particular, we show that all trees with n edges and Fibonacci number > 2n−1 + 5 have diameter ≤ 4 and determine the order of these trees with respect to their Fibonacci numbers. Furthermore, it is shown that the average Fibonacci number of a star-like ...
متن کاملStatistical Distributions and q-Analogues of k-Fibonacci Numbers
We study q-analogues of k-Fibonacci numbers that arise from weighted tilings of an n × 1 board with tiles of length at most k. The weights on our tilings arise naturally out of distributions of permutations statistics and set partitions statistics. We use these q-analogues to produce q-analogues of identities involving k-Fibonacci numbers. This is a natural extension of results of the first aut...
متن کاملPermutation Statistics and q-Fibonacci Numbers
In a recent paper, Goyt and Sagan studied distributions of certain set partition statistics over pattern restricted sets of set partitions that were counted by the Fibonacci numbers. Their study produced a class of q-Fibonacci numbers, which they related to q-Fibonacci numbers studied by Carlitz and Cigler. In this paper we will study the distributions of some Mahonian statistics over pattern r...
