For a positive integer $r$, George Andrews proved that the set of partitions of $n$ in which odd multiplicities are at least $2r + 1$ is equinumerous with the set of partitions of $n$ in which odd parts are congruent to $2r + 1$ modulo $4r…

Ramanujan proved that the inequality $\pi(x)^2 < \frac{e x}{\log x} \pi\Big(\frac{x}{e}\Big)$ holds for all sufficiently large values of $x$. Using an explicit estimate for the error in the prime number theorem, we show unconditionally that…

Motivated by Andrews' partitions with initial repetitions, we derive parity formulas for several functions for this class of partitions. In many cases, we present an infinite family of Ramanujan-like congruences modulo 2.

In a very recent work, G. E. Andrews defined the combinatorial objects which he called {\it singular overpartitions} with the goal of presenting a general theorem for overpartitions which is analogous to theorems of Rogers--Ramanujan type…

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…

Recently, several mathematicians have investigated various partition functions with the goal of discovering Ramanujan-type congruences. One such function is $\overline{B}_{2^\alpha}(n)$, which represents the number of $2^\alpha-$regular…

In this paper we want to prove some formulas listed by S. Ramanujan in his paper "Modular equations and approximations to $\pi$" \cite{24} with an elementary method.

We prove several congruences satisfied by the generalized cubic and generalized overcubic partition functions, recently introduced by Amdeberhan, Sellers, and Singh. We also prove infinite families of congruences modulo powers of $2$ and…

We consider an identity relating Fibonacci numbers to Pascal's triangle discovered by G. E. Andrews. Several authors provided proofs of this identity, most of them rather involved or else relying on sophisticated number theoretical…

At the 1987 Ramanujan Centenary meeting Dyson asked for a coherent group-theoretical structure for Ramanujan's mock theta functions analogous to Hecke's theory of modular forms. Many of Ramanujan's mock theta functions can be written in…

In 1968 and 1969, Andrews proved two partition theorems of the Rogers-Ramanujan type which generalise Schur's celebrated partition identity (1926). Andrews' two generalisations of Schur's theorem went on to become two of the most…

Inspired by the recent work by Nadji, Ahmia and Ram\'irez, we examined the arithmetic properties of $\bar{B}_{l_1,l_2} (n)$, the number of overpartitions of n whose parts are neither divisible by $l_1$ nor divisible by $l_2$. In particular,…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ denote the number of overpartitions of $n$. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that $\overline{p}(4n+3)\equiv 0 \pmod{8}$ for $n\geq 0$. They also conjectured that $\overline{p}(40n+35)\equiv 0 \pmod{40}$ for $n\geq 0$.…

Recently, Mizuno studied generalized Nahm sums associated with symmetrizable matrices. He provided 14 sets of candidates of modular Nahm sums in rank two and justified four of them. We prove the modularity for eight other sets of candidates…

In this paper we prove the supercongruence $$\sum_{n=0}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{6n+1}{256^n}\binom{2n}n^3\equiv p(-1)^{(p-1)/2}+(-1)^{(p-1)/2}\frac{7}{24}p^4B_{p-3}\pmod{p^5}$$ for any prime $p>3$, which was conjectured by Sun in 2019.
