On a General Approach to Bessenrodt–Ono Type Inequalities and Log-Concavity Properties

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In recent literature concerning integer partitions one can find many results related to both the Bessenrodt–Ono type inequalities and log-concavity properties. In this note, we offer some general approach to this type of problems. More precisely, we prove that under some mild conditions on an increasing function F of at most exponential growth satisfying the condition F(N)⊂ R₊ F ( N ) ⊂ R + , we have $$F(a)F(b)>F(a+b)$$ F ( a ) F ( b ) > F ( a + b ) for sufficiently large positive integers a , b . Moreover, we show that if the sequence (F(n))_n≥ n₀ ( F ( n ) ) n ≥ n 0 is log-concave and n→ +∞F(n+n₀)/F(n)<F(n₀) lim sup n → + ∞ F ( n + n 0 ) / F ( n ) < F ( n 0 ) , then F satisfies the Bessenrodt–Ono type inequality.
