Lin introduced the partition function $\text{PDO}_t(n)$, which counts the total number of tagged parts over all the partitions of $n$ with designated summands in which all parts are odd. For $k\geq0$, Lin conjectured congruences for…

We present several congruences modulo a power of prime $p$ concerning sums of the following type $\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}{m^k\over k^r}{2k\choose k}^{-1}$ which reveal some interesting connections with the analogous infinite series.

Many generating series of combinatorially interesting numbers have the property that the sum of the terms of order $<p$ at some suitable point is congruent to a zero of a zeta-function modulo infinitely many primes $p$. Surprisingly, very…

We prove several Ramanujan-type congruences modulo powers of $5$ for partition $k$-tuples with $5$-cores, for $k=2, 3, 4$. We also prove some new infinite families of congruences modulo powers of primes for $k$-tuples with $p$-cores, where…

Let $p_{k}(n)$ be the coefficient of $q^n$ in the series expansion of $(q;q)_{\infty}^{k}$. It is known that the partition function $p(n)$, which corresponds to the case when $k=-1$, satisfies congruences such as $p(5n+4)\equiv 0\pmod{5}$.…

A partition is said to be $\ell$-regular if none of its parts is a multiple of $\ell$. Let $b^\prime_5(n)$ denote the number of 5-regular partitions into distinct parts (equivalently, into odd parts) of $n$. This function has also close…
