- Abstract:
- The number partitioning problem can be interpreted physically in terms of a thermally isolated noninteracting Bose gas trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic-oscillator potential. We exploit this analogy to characterize, by means of a detour to the Bose gas within the canonical ensemble, the probability distribution for finding a specified number of summands in a randomly chosen partition of an integer n. It is shown that this distribution approaches its asymptotics only for n > 10^10.
