Abstract

We establish infinite families of congruences modulo arbitrary powers of 22 for the three restricted partition functions M(n),T(n)M(n), T^\ast(n), and P(n)P^\ast(n) introduced by Pushpa and Vasuki by employing elementary qq-series techniques. These generalize some particular congruences for M(n),T(n)M(n), T^\ast(n), and P(n)P^\ast(n) recently found by Nath and Saikia.
