| contents | We study the degree landscape of the partition graph $G_n$, whose vertices are the integer partitions of $n$ and whose edges correspond to elementary transfers of one unit between parts, followed by reordering. Using the previously established local degree formula, we introduce the degree layers $D_d(n)$, the degree spectrum $Spec_D(n)$, and the numerical invariants $Δ_n$, $m_Δ(n)$, and $s(n)$.
The main theorem provides an exact formula for the maximal degree. If $$ ρ(n):=\max\{r:T_r\le n\},\qquad T_r=\frac{r(r+1)}{2}, $$ and $$ ν:=n-T_{ρ(n)}, $$ then $$ Δ_n=ρ(n)\bigl(ρ(n)-1\bigr)+β_{ρ(n)}(ν), $$ where $β_r$ is an explicit budget function governed by a square--pronic threshold rule. We also prove that every maximal-degree vertex lies on the maximal-support stratum, and we obtain exact extremal classifications at the levels $n=T_t$, $n=T_t+1$, and $n=T_t+2$.
The paper also includes a finite computation on the range $1\le n\le 60$, recording extremal multiplicities, representative extremal shapes, spectrum sizes, selected degree histograms, and first data on contact between the extremal layer and the self-conjugate axis. This computational part is deliberately limited in scope. It is descriptive rather than exhaustive, and is included only as a first numerical profile of the degree landscape. |
