Abstract

The paper solves the enumeration of the set $P P(n)$ of partitions of $n \in \mathbb{N}$ in which the nondecreasing sequence of parts $p(1), p(2), \ldots$, $p(d)$ is contained in a degree-2 polynomial $p(x) \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$. This is a generalization of the partitions of a number into arithmetic progressions. We also study the problem of dividing $n$ into parts whose differences between consecutive parts are consecutive integers. In particular, we focus on the problem of the sum of consecutive triangular numbers.
