ABSTRACT
Of an integer in number theory, breaking the integer down into its constituent parts in as many ways as possible; for example, the number 6 can be partitioned in three ways: 5 + 1, 4 + 2, and 3 + 3. Each of these contributory numbers is known as a summand.

K-means clustering is arguably the most popular technique for partitioning data. Unfortunately, K-means suffers from the well-known problem of locally optimal solutions. Furthermore, the final partition is dependent upon the initial configuration, making the choice of starting partitions all the...

In this article, we consider various arithmetic properties of the function $$\overline{{p_{o} }} (n)$$ which denotes the number of overpartitions of n using only odd parts. This function has arisen in a number of recent papers, but in contexts which are very different from overpartitions. We...
