Abstract

The Calkin-Wilf tree is well-known as one way to enumerate the rationals, but also may be used to count hyperbinary partitions of an integer, h2(n). We present an m-ary tree which is a generalization of the Calkin-Wilf tree and show how it may be used to count the hyper m-ary partitions of an integer, hm(n). We then use properties of the m-ary tree to prove an identity relating values of h2 to values of hm, showing that one sequence is a subsequence of the other. Finally, we give a bijection between the partitions to reprove our identity.
