On Finite Analogs of Schmidt's Problem and Its Variants

We refine Schmidt's problem and a partition identity related to 2-color partitions which we will refer to as Uncu-Andrews-Paule theorem. We will approach the problem using Boulet-Stanley weights and a formula on Rogers-Szegő polynomials by Berkovich-Warnaar, and present various Schmidt's problem alike theorems and their refinements. Our new Schmidt type results include the use of even-indexed parts' sums, alternating sum of parts, and hook lengths as well as the odd-indexed parts' sum which appears in the original Schmidt's problem. We also translate some of our Schmidt's problem alike relations to weighted partition counts with multiplicative weights in relation to Rogers-Ramanujan partitions.
