Abstract

The cubic partitions of a natural number nn, introduced by Chan and Kim, have generating function n=0a(n)qn=1(q;q)(q2;q2).\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a(n)q^n= \frac{1}{(q; q)_{\infty}(q^2; q^2)_{\infty}}. In this paper, we generalize some results of Chen-Lin, which suggest that a(n)a(n) should have analogous properties of the ordinary partition function. Specifically, we show that for every non-negative integer nn, a(54n+547)0(mod52),a(73n+190)0(mod72),a(73n+2880(mod72)anda(73n+337)0(mod72).a(5^4n+547)\equiv 0\pmod{5^2}, a(7^3n+190)\equiv 0\pmod{7^2}, a(7^3n+288 \equiv 0\pmod{7^2} and a(7^3n+337)\equiv 0\pmod{7^2}.
