In the first three papers, we conducted a series of discussions on the statistics of strict partitions and Rogers-Ramanujan partitions, specifically the sequences of odd length (denoted as $\mathrm{sol}$) and its extensions. We established…

In this paper, we investigate the combinatorial properties of three classes of integer partitions: (1) $s$-modular partitions, a class consisting of partitions into parts with a number of occurrences (i.e., multiplicity) congruent to $0$ or…

Integer partitions have long been of interest to number theorists, perhaps most notably Ramanujan, and are related to many areas of mathematics including combinatorics, modular forms, representation theory, analysis, and mathematical…

The 2-color partitions may be considered as an extension of regular partitions of a natural number $n$, with $p_{k}(n)$ defined as the number of 2-colored partitions of $n$ where one of the 2 colors appears only in parts that are multiples…

Let $k, t$ be coprime integers, and let $1 \leq r \leq t$. We let $D_k^\times(r,t;n)$ denote the total number of parts among all $k$-indivisible partitions (i.e., those partitions where no part is divisible by $k$) of $n$ which are…

In a recent paper, Jin, Liu, and Xia \cite{JLX} presented some modulo 4 congruences for $\overline{spt2}(n)$, the number of smallest parts in the overpartitions of $n$ where the smallest part is even and is not overlined. In this paper, we…

This paper provides algebraic proofs for several types of congruences involving the multipartition function and self-convolutions of the divisor function. Our computations use methods of Differential Algebra in $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z}$,…

In this paper, we establish two new Ramanujan-type congruences for the overpartition function: $\overline{p}(11\times(8n+5))\equiv 0 \pmod{11}$ and $\overline{p}(13\times 2^6(8n+7))\equiv 0 \pmod{13}$. The proofs rely on the theory of…

Using Lie theory, Stefano Capparelli conjectured an interesting Rogers-Ramanujan type partition identity in his 1988 Rutgers Ph.D. thesis. The first proof was given by George Andrews, using combinatorial methods. Later, Capparelli was able…

For a fixed positive integer $k$, let $C(k,n)$ denote the number of two-color partitions of $n$ with odd smallest part and restrictions on even parts, and let $C_k(q)$ be its generating function. We show that $C(1,n)\equiv d(2n-1)\pmod{4}$…

Let $\bar{a}_s(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$, wherein each odd part is multicolored (atmost $s\ge 1$ colors) and the first appearance of parts may be overlined. In this paper, we establish new families of congruences modulo…

In 2002, Andrews, Lewis, and Lovejoy introduced the combinatorial objects which they called {\it partitions with designated summands}. These are built by taking unrestricted integer partitions and designating exactly one of each occurrence…

For rational $\alpha$, the fractional partition functions $p_\alpha(n)$ are given by the coefficients of the generating function $(q;q)^\alpha_\infty$. When $\alpha=-1$, one obtains the usual partition function. Congruences of the form…

The study of integer partitions and their congruences dates back to 1919 when Ramanujan discovered his famous congruences for the partition function, $p(n)$. Since then, many other kinds of partition functions have been discovered, as well…

For any relatively prime integers $r$ and $s$, let $a_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of $(r,s)$-regular partitions of a positive integer of $n$ into distinct parts. Prasad and Prasad (2018) proved many infinite families of congruences modulo 2…
