Two truncated identities of Gauss
Abstract
Two new expansions for partial sums of Gauss' triangular and square numbers series are given. As a consequence, we derive a family of inequalities for the overpartition function p(n) and for the partition function p1(n) counting the partitions of n with distinct odd parts. Some further inequalities for variations of partition function are proposed as conjectures.
