In $1984$, Andrews introduced the family of partition functions $c\phi_k(n)$, which enumerate generalized Frobenius partitions of $n$ with $k$ colors. In $2016$, Gu, Wang, and Xia established several congruences for $c\phi_6(n)$ and…
In his 1984 AMS Memoir, George Andrews defined the family of $k$--colored generalized Frobenius partition functions. These are denoted by $c\phi_k(n)$ where $k\geq 1$ is the number of colors in question. In that Memoir, Andrews proved…
A new combinatorial object is introduced, the part-frequency matrix sequence of a partition, which is elementary to describe and is naturally motivated by Glaisher's bijection. We prove results that suggest surprising usefulness for such a…
Let $a$ and $m>0$ be integers. We show that for any integer $b$ relatively prime to $m$, the set $\{a^n+bn:\ n=1,\ldots,m^2\}$ contains a complete system of residues modulo $m$. We also pose several conjectures for further research; for…
Beck introduced two partition statistics $NT(r,m,n)$ and $M_{\omega}(r,m,n)$,which denote the total number of parts in the partition of $n$ with rank congruent to $r$ modulo $m$ and the total number of ones in the partition of $n$ with…
Recently, Amdeberhan, Sellers, and Singh introduced the notion of a generalized cubic partition function $a_c(n)$ and proved two isolated congruences via modular forms, namely, $a_3(7n+4)\equiv 0\pmod{7}$ and $a_5(11n+10)\equiv 0\pmod{11}$.…
In this paper, we give a conjecture, which generalises Euler's partition theorem involving odd parts and different parts for all moduli. We prove this conjecture for two family partitions. We give $q$-difference equations for the related…
We study divisibility properties of certain sums and alternating sums involving binomial coefficients and powers of integers. For example, we prove that for all positive integers $n_1,..., n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and any nonnegative integer…
Ramanujan's celebrated partition congruences modulo $\ell\in \{5, 7, 11\}$ assert that $$ p(\ell n+\delta_{\ell})\equiv 0\pmod{\ell}, $$ where $0<\delta_{\ell}<\ell$ satisfies $24\delta_{\ell}\equiv 1\pmod{\ell}.$ By proving Subbarao's…
This article provides a proof of a generalization of Schur's theorem on the partition regularity of the equation x+y=z, which involves a divisibility condition. This generalization will be utilized to prove the existence of 'small'…
Concave compositions are ordered partitions whose parts are decreasing towards a central part. We study the distribution modulo $a$ of the number of concave compositions. Let $c(n)$ be the number of concave compositions of $n$ having even…
Recently, Alanazi, Munagi, and Saikia employed the theory of modular forms to investigate the arithmetic properties of the function $\overline{R_{\ell,\mu}}(n)$, which enumerates the overpartitions of $n$ where no part is divisible by…
Let $p_k(n)$ denote the number of $2$-color partitions of $n$ where one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of $k$. We will prove a conjecture of Ahmed, Baruah, and Dastidar on congruences modulo $5$ for $p_k(n)$.…
Let $\epsilon$ be a fixed positive quantity, $m$ be a large integer, $x_j$ denote integer variables. We prove that for any positive integers $N_1,N_2,N_3$ with $N_1N_2N_3>m^{1+\epsilon},$ the set $$ \{x_1x_2x_3 \pmod m: \quad x_j\in [1,N_j]…
Wall published a paper in 1960 on the Fibonacci sequence where he derived many results concerning the period and prime power divisibility modulo m. His periodicity results have been generalized to second order linear recurrences. Here we…
A partition of $n$ is called a $t$-core partition if none of its hook number is divisible by $t.$ In 2019, Hirschhorn and Sellers \cite{Hirs2019} obtained a parity result for $3$-core partition function $a_3(n)$. Recently, both authors…
The partition function $p(n)$ and many of its related restricted partition functions have recently been shown independently to satisfy log-concavity: $p(n)^2 \geq p(n-1)p(n+1)$ for $n\geq 26$, and satisfy the inequality: $p(n)p(m) \geq…
In this paper, we study the partition functions $\overline{R_\ell^\ast}(n)$, which count the number of overpartitions of $n$ where the non-overlined parts are $\ell$-regular for a given $\ell$. Using elementary techniques, as well as the…
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…
A partition of a positive integer $n$ is said to be $t$-core if none of its hook lengths are divisible by $t$. Recently, two analogues, $\overline{a}_t(n)$ and $\overline{b}_t(n)$, of the $t$-core partition function, $c_t(n)$, have been…
