A. MacMahon and M. V. Subbarao. We will give a new bijection for one of the partition theorems due to MacMahon and provide a generalisation of a partition identity due to Subbarao. We will further deduce parity formulas for various related partition functions. Our approach is via generating functions and bijective mappings.Online resource (80 leaves)enPartitions (Mathematics)Algebraic number theoryq-seriesThesis
