    Two truncated identities of Gauss

    Full text link
    Two new expansions for partial sums of Gauss' triangular and square numbers series are given. As a consequence, we derive a family of inequalities for the overpartition function pˉ(n)\bar{p}(n) and for the partition function p1(n)p_1(n) counting the partitions of nn with distinct odd parts. Some further inequalities for variations of partition function are proposed as conjectures.Comment: 9 pages, final versio
