摘要：

In this paper, we modify the standard definition of moments of ranks and cranks such that odd moments no longer trivially vanish. Denoting the new k-th rank (resp. crank) moments by (N) over bar (k)(n) (resp. (M) over bar (k)(n)), we prove the following inequality between the first rank and crank moments: (M) over bar (1)(n) > (N) over bar (1)(n). This inequality motivates us to study a new counting function, ospt(n), which is equal to (M) over bar (1)(n) - (N) over bar (1)(n). We also discuss higher order moments of ranks and cranks. Surprisingly, for every higher order moments of ranks and cranks, the following inequality holds: (M) over bar (k)(n) > (N) over bar (k)(n). This extends F.G. Garvan's result on the ordinary moments of ranks and cranks. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
