A binomial coefficient identity associated with Beukers' conjecture on Apéry numbers.
We present a CAT (constant amortized time) algorithm for generating those partitions of n that are in the ice pile model(n), a generalization of the sand pile model(n). More precisely, for any fixed integer k, we show that the negative lexicographic ordering naturally identifies a tree structure on the lattice (n): this lets us design an algorithm which generates all the ice piles of (n) in amortized time O(1) and in space O().

An infinite word is -automatic if, for all , its st letter is the output of a deterministic automaton fed with the representation of in the considered numeration system . In this extended abstract, we consider an analogous definition in a multidimensional setting and present the connection to the shape-symmetric infinite words introduced by Arnaud Maes. More precisely, for , we state that a multidimensional infinite word over a finite alphabet is -automatic for some abstract numeration...
Many links exist between ordinary partitions and partitions with parts in the “gaps”. In this paper, we explore combinatorial explanations for some of these links, along with some natural generalizations. In particular, if we let be the number of partitions of n into j parts where each part is ≡ k (mod m), 1 ≤ k ≤ m, and we let be the number of partitions of n into j parts where each part is ≡ k (mod m) with parts of size k in the gaps, then .
