Abstract

Let po(n)\overline{p}_o(n) denote the number of overpartitions of nn into odd parts. The partition function po(n)\overline{p}_o(n) has been the subject of many recent studies where many explicit Ramanujan-like congruences were discovered. In this paper, we provide three linear recurrence relation for po(n)\overline{p}_o(n). Several connections with partitions into parts not congruent to 2(mod4)2 \pmod 4, overpartitions and partitions into distinct parts are presented in this context.
