Let \( A \) be an arbitrary set of positive integers (finite or infinite) other than the empty set or the set consisting of the single element unity. Let \( p(n) = p_A(n) \) denote the number of partitions of the integer \( n \) into parts taken from the set \( A \), repetitions being allowed. In other words, \( p(n) \) is the number of ways \( n \) can be expressed in the form \[ n_1a_1 + n_2a_2 + \cdots ,\] where \( a_1,a_2,\dots \) are the distinct elements of \( A \) and \( n_1 \), \( n_2,\dots \) are arbitrary non-negative integers. In this paper we shall prove that \( p(n) \) is a strictly increasing function of \( n \) for sufficiently large \( n \) if and only if \( A \) has the following property (which we shall subsequently call property \( P_1 \)): \( A \) contains more than one element, and if we remove any single element from \( A \), the remaining elements have greatest common divisor unity.
