Abstract

In this paper, we investigate $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}(m,n)$, the number of partitions of the bipartite number$(m,n)$ into steadily decreasing parts, introduced by Carlitz [‘A problem in partitions’, Duke Math. J.30 (1963), 203–213]. We give a relation between $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}(m,n)$ and the crank statistic $M(m,n)$ for integer partitions. Using this relation, we establish some uniform asymptotic formulas for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}(m,n)$.
