Abstract
Let enumerate the number of 2-color partition triples of where one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of . In this paper, we prove several infinite families of congruences modulo powers of 3 for with , and . For example, for all integers and , we prove that \begin{align*} p_{3,3}\left(3^{\alpha}n+\dfrac{3^{\alpha}+1}{2}\right) &\equiv0\pmod{3^{\alpha+1}} \end{align*} and \begin{align*} p_{3,3}\left(3^{\alpha+1}n+\dfrac{5\times3^{\alpha}+1}{2}\right) &\equiv0\pmod{3^{\alpha+4}}. \end{align*}
