Abstract

Andrews introduced the partition function Ck,i(n)\overline{C}_{k, i}(n), called singular overpartition, which counts the number of overpartitions of nn in which no part is divisible by kk and only parts ±i(modk)\equiv \pm i\pmod{k} may be overlined. We study the parity and distribution results for Ck,i(n),\overline{C}_{k,i}(n), where k>3k>3 and 1ik21\leq i \leq \left\lfloor\frac{k}{2}\right\rfloor. More particularly, we prove that for each integer 2\ell\geq 2 depending on kk and ii, the interval [,(3+1)2]\left[\ell, \frac{\ell(3\ell+1)}{2}\right] (\Big(resp.\ [21,(31)2])\left[2\ell-1, \frac{\ell(3\ell-1)}{2}\right] \Big) contains an integer nn such that Ck,i(n)\overline{C}_{k,i}(n) is even (resp.\ odd). Finally we study the distribution for Cp,1(n)\overline{C}_{p,1}(n) where p5p\geq 5 be a prime number.
