Abstract

For a positive integer tt, let bt(n)b_{t}(n) denote the number of tt-regular partitions of a nonnegative integer nn. In a recent paper, Keith and Zanello established infinite families of congruences and self-similarity results modulo 22 for bt(n)b_{t}(n) for certain values of tt. Further, they proposed some conjectures on self-similarities of bt(n)b_t(n) modulo 22 for certain values of tt. In this paper, we prove their conjectures on b3(n)b_3(n) and b25(n)b_{25}(n). We also prove a self-similarity result for b21(n)b_{21}(n) modulo 22.
