Abstract

Recently, Andrews and Ghosh Dastidar (Ramanujan J. \textbf{69}, Art. No. 26, 2026) studied two interesting functions SOME(n)SOME(n) and DSOME(n)DSOME(n), where SOME(n)SOME(n) is the sum of all the odd parts in the partitions of nn minus the sum of all even parts and DSOME(n)DSOME(n) is the sum of all the odd parts in the partitions of nn into distinct parts minus sum of all the even parts. They expressed the generating functions of SOME(n)SOME(n) and DSOME(n)DSOME(n) in terms of qq-series and found several interesting congruences modulo 4 and 5. In this paper, we express the generating function of DSOME(n)DSOME(n) in a closed form, which allows us to find some new congruences and internal congruences modulo 4 and 8 for DSOME(n)DSOME(n).
