Abstract

We explore partitions that lie in the intersection of several sets of classical interest: partitions with parts indivisible by m, appearing fewer than m times, or differing by less than m. We find results on their behavior and generating functions: more results for those simultaneously regular and distinct, fewest for those distinct and flat. We offer some conjectures in the area.
