Abstract

In 19841984, Andrews introduced the family of partition functions cϕk(n)c\phi_k(n), which enumerate generalized Frobenius partitions of nn with kk colors. In 20162016, Gu, Wang, and Xia established several congruences for cϕ6(n)c\phi_6(n) and proposed a conjecture concerning congruences modulo powers of 33 for this function. In this paper, we resolve a revised version of their conjecture by employing an approach analogous to that developed by Banerjee and Smoot.
