An integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition. [quote]For example, 4 can be partitioned in five distinct ways: 4 3 + 1 2 + 2 2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1[/quote] The number of partitions of n is given by the partition function $p\left ( n \right )$. So $p\left ( 4 \right ) = 5$ . Determine all the positive integers so that $p\left ( n \right )+p\left ( n+4 \right )=p\left ( n+2 \right )+p\left ( n+3 \right )$.
Let $ H$ be an arbitrary subgroup of the diffeomorphism group $ \mathsf{Diff}^\infty(M)$ of a differentiable manifold $ M$. We say that an $ \mathcal C^\infty$-vector field $ X$ is [i]weakly tangent[/i] to the group $ H$, if there exists a positive integer $ k$ and a $ \mathcal C^\infty$-differentiable map $ \varphi \mathrel{: } \mathord{]} \minus{} \varepsilon,\varepsilon\mathord{[}^k\times M\to M$ such that (i) for fixed $ t_1,\dots,t_k$ the map \[ \varphi_{t_1,\dots,t_k} : x\in M\mapsto \varphi(t_1,\dots,t_k,x)\] is a diffeomorphism of $ M$, and $ \varphi_{t_1,\dots,t_k}\in H$; (ii) $ \varphi_{t_1,\dots,t_k}\in H \equal{} \mathsf{Id}$ whenever $ t_j \equal{} 0$ for some $ 1\leq j\leq k$; (iii) for any $ \mathcal C^\infty$-function $ f: M\to \mathbb R$ \[ X f \equal{} \left.\frac {\partial^k(f\circ\varphi_{t_1,\dots,t_k})}{\partial t_1\dots\partial t_k}\right|_{(t_1,\dots,t_k) \equal{} (0,\dots,0)}.\] Prove, that the commutators of $ \mathcal C^\infty$-vector fields that are weakly tangent to $ H\subset \textsf{Diff}^\infty(M)$ are also weakly tangent to $ H$.

Let \( n \) be a positive integer. A function \( f : \{0, 1, \dots, n\} \to \{0, 1, \dots, n\} \) is called \( n \)-Bolivian if it satisfies the following conditions: • \( f(0) = 0 \); • \( f(t) \in \{ t-1, f(t-1), f(f(t-1)), \dots \} \) for all \( t = 1, 2, \dots, n \). For example, if \( n = 3 \), then the function defined by \( f(0) = f(1) = 0 \), \( f(2) = f(3) = 1 \) is 3-Bolivian, but the function defined by \( f(0) = f(1) = f(2) = 0 \), \( f(3) = 1 \) is not 3-Bolivian. For a fixed positive integer \( n \), Gollum selects an \( n \)-Bolivian function. Smeagol, knowing that \( f \) is \( n \)-Bolivian, tries to figure out which function was chosen by asking questions of the type: \[ \text{How many integers } a \text{ are there such that } f(a) = b? \] given a \( b \) of his choice. Show that if Gollum always answers correctly, Smeagol can determine \( f \) and find the minimum number of questions he needs to ask, considering all possible choices of \( f \).
