✦ Synopsis


Bateman and Erdo s found necessary and sufficient conditions on a set A for the kth differences of the partitions of n with parts in A, p (k) A (n), to eventually be positive; moreover, they showed that when these conditions occur p (k+1)

A (n) tends to zero as n tends to infinity. Bateman and Erdo s conjectured that the ratio p (k+1)

). We prove this conjecture.

We show that every graph G of size at least 256 p 2 |G| contains a topological complete subgraph of order p. This slight improvement of a recent result of Komlós and Szemerédi proves a conjecture made by Mader and by Erdös and Hajnal.

C. Reutenauer (Adv. in Math. 110 (1995), 234 246) has defined a new class of symmetric functions q \* indexed by partitions \*. He conjectures that for n 2, &q (n) is the sum of Schur symmetric functions. This paper provides a proof of his conjecture.
