Abstract
We consider some -series which depend on a pair of positive integers . While positivity of these series holds for the first few values of , the situation is quite unclear for other values of . In addition, our series generate the number of certain two-color integer partitions weighted by where is the number of even parts. Therefore, inequalities involving these partitions will be deduced from the positivity of their generating functions.
