Abstract
Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. In this paper our main goal is to derive an asymptotic expansion up to order $N$ (for any fixed positive integer $N$) along with estimates for error bounds for the shifted quotient of the partition function, namely $p(n+k)/p(n)$ with $kin mathbb{N}$, which generalizes a result of Gomez, Males, and Rolen. In order to do so, we derive asymptotic expansions with error bounds for the shifted version $p(n+k)$ and the multiplicative inverse $1/p(n)$, which is of independent interest.
