Let $b(n)$ denote the number of cubic partition pairs of $n$. We give affirmative answer to a conjecture of Lin, namely, we prove that $$b(49n+37)\equiv 0 \pmod{49}.$$ We also prove two congruences modulo $256$ satisfied by…
In a recent work, Andrews defined the singular overpartitions with the goal of presenting an overpartition analogue to the theorems of Rogers--Ramanujan type for ordinary partitions with restricted successive ranks. As a small part of his…
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…
Let $p(n)$ be the partition function. Ahlgren and Ono conjectured that every arithmetic progression contains infinitely many integers $N$ for which $p(N)$ is not congruent to $0\pmod{3}$. Radu proved this conjecture in 2010 using work of…
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 $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z}$,…
For a sequence $M=(m_{i})_{i=0}^{\infty}$ of integers such that $m_{0}=1$, $m_{i}\geq 2$ for $i\geq 1$, let $p_{M}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ into parts of the form $m_{0}m_{1}\cdots m_{r}$. In this paper we show that for…
In 1967, Atkin and O'Brien conjectured congruences for the partition function involving Hecke operators modulo powers of 13. In this paper, we provide a simple proof of this conjecture.
In this paper we introduce a class of sequences connected with the $m$--ary partition function and investigate their congruence properties. In particular, we get facts about the sequences of $m$--ary partitions $(b_{m}(n))_{m\in\mathbb{N}}$…
In this study, we explore the arithmetic properties of $b_{7^k}(n)$ for any $k\geq1$, which enumerates the partitions of $n$ where no part is divisible by $7^k$. By constructing generating functions for $b_{7^k}(n)$ over specific arithmetic…
Almost nothing is known about the parity of the partition function $p(n)$, which is conjectured to be random. Despite this expectation, Ono surprisingly proved the existence of infinitely many linear dependence congruence relations modulo 4…
Let v(n) denote the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of a positive integer n into powers of 2. It appears that the function v(n) satisfies many congruences modulo 2^N. For example, for every integer B there exists (as k tends to…
In this paper, we investigate the arithmetic properties of the difference between the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ with even crank and those with odd crank, denoted $C(n)=c_e(n)-c_o(n)$. Inspired by Ramanujan's classical…
Ramanujan proved three famous congruences for the partition function modulo 5, 7, and 11. The first author and Boylan proved that these congruences are the only ones of this type. In 1984 Andrews introduced the $m$-colored Frobenius…
In the 1960s Atkin discovered congruences modulo primes $\ell\leq 31$ for the partition function $p(n)$ in arithmetic progressions modulo $\ell Q^3$, where $Q\neq \ell$ is prime. Recent work of the first author with Allen and Tang shows…
Alanzi et al. (2022) investigated overpartition of a positive integer $n$ with $\ell$-regular non-overlined parts denoted by $\overline R_\ell^\ast (n)$, and proved some results for the case $\ell=3$. As extension to the results of Alanzi…
In this short note, we prove several new congruences for the overcubic partition triples function, using both elementary techniques and the theory of modular forms. These extend the recent list of such congruences given by Nayaka,…
We investigate Ramanujan congruences for the function which counts the overpartitions of n with restricted odd differences. In particular, we show that only one such congruence exists. Our method involves using the theory of modular forms…
We study some divisibility properties of Dedekind numbers. We show that the ninth Dedekind number is congruent to 6 modulo 210.
We prove the congruence $\sum_{1 \leq k < \sqrt{N}} \sigma_0 (N - k^2) \equiv 0 \pmod 4$, where $\sigma_0(m)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of $m$, for $N = An + B$ with $(A,B) \in \{ (16,14),$ $(36,30),$ $(72,42),$ $(196,70),$…
In this paper, we generalize recent work of Mizuhara, Sellers, and Swisher that gives a method for establishing restricted plane partition congruences based on a bounded number of calculations. Using periodicity for partition functions, our…
