Abstract

In this paper, we study the generating function for the number of partitions of [n] = {1, 2, . . . , n}, represented geometrically as bargraphs, according to the number of 1 × 2 rectangles contained within the area subtended. In particular, we find both an explicit and an asymptotic formula for the total number of 1 × 2) rectangles taken over all partitions of [n].
