Help with expressing Partition Numbers as powers of two

73 Views Asked by At

Grateful for some help with expressing Partition Numbers as powers of two. I'm not great at maths, but this is as far as I have got: $P(n)=n/2+2^{n-1}-(2^{n-2})(2^x)$ where $x$ is an exponential that approaches $1$. Please note that I have amended the equation and added $n/2$ to avoid trying to find exponentials which give a value of zero which is not possible. This has also affected the values for $x$.

enter image description here Does anyone know the equation to calculate $x$ as this would be a neat way of calculating the Partition.
