摘要
A generalized crank (k-crank) for k-colored partitions is introduced. Following the work of Andrews Lewis and Ji-Zhao, we derive two results for this newly defined k-crank. Namely, we first obtain some inequalities between the k-crank counts M-k(r,m, n) for m = 2, 3 and 4, then we prove the positivity of symmetrized even k-crank moments weighted by the parity for k = 2 and 3. We conclude with several, remarks on furthering the study initiated here. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
