Abstract

In 2017, Keith presented a comprehensive survey on integer partitions into parts that are simultaneously regular, distinct, and/or flat. Recently, the authors initiated a study of partitions into parts that are simultaneously regular and distinct, examining them from both arithmetic and combinatorial perspectives. In particular, several Ramanujan-like congruences were obtained for \myRD(,t)(n)\myRD^{(\ell, t)}(n), the number of partitions of nn into parts that are simultaneously \ell-regular and tt-distinct (parts appearing fewer than tt times), for various pairs (,t)(\ell, t). In this paper, we focus on the case (,t)=(4,9)(\ell, t)=(4,9) and conduct a thorough investigation of the arithmetic properties of \myRD(4,9)(n)\myRD^{(4, 9)}(n). We establish several infinite families of congruences modulo 44, 66, and 1212, along with a collection of Ramanujan-like congruences modulo 2424.
