Abstract
Let A = {a 1, a 2,...} be a set of positive integers and let p A (n) and q A (n) denote the number of partitions of n into a’s, resp. distinct a’s. In an earlier paper the authors studied large values of \( \frac{{\log \left( {\max \left( {2,p\mathcal{A}\left( n \right)} \right)} \right)}}{{\log \left( {\max \left( {2,q\mathcal{A}\left( n \right)} \right)} \right)}}. \) In this paper the small values of the same quotient are studied.
