Abstract: In 2011, Anderson, Rolen and Stoehr proved the beautiful theorem that the partition function p(n) abides by “Benford’s Law”, which means that lim #{0≤n≤X : p(n)inbasebbeginswithstringf} =logb(f+1)−logb(f) (mod1). X→+∞ X Here we prove that MacMahon’s plane partition function PL(n) also abides by Benford’s Law. This result is obtained by applying their general method to strong asymptotics for PL(n).
