A partition of $n$ is $l$-regular if none of its parts is divisible by $l$. Let $b_l(n)$ denote the number of $l$-regular partitions of $n$. In this paper, using theta function identities due to Ramanujan, we establish some new infinite…

We study $\nu_k(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ part sizes, and find numerous arithmetic progressions where $\nu_2$ and $\nu_3$ take on values divisible by 2 and 4. Expanding earlier work, we show $\nu_2(An+B) \equiv 0…

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…

We consider the number of the $6$-regular partitions of $n$, $b_6(n)$, and give infinite families of congruences modulo $3$ (in arithmetic progression) for $b_6(n)$. We also consider the number of the partitions of $n$ into distinct parts…

A classical question in combinatorial number theory asks whether an equation has a solution inside a particular subset of its domain. The Rado's Theorem gives a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for a systems of linear equations to…

For a positive integer $t$, let $b_{t}(n)$ denote the number of $t$-regular partitions of a nonnegative integer $n$. In a recent paper, Keith and Zanello established infinite families of congruences and self-similarity results modulo $2$…

We utilize Dyson's concept of the adjoint of a partition to derive an infinite family of new polynomial analogues of Euler's Pentagonal Number Theorem. We streamline Dyson's bijection relating partitions with crank <= k and those with k in…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ denote the number of overpartitions of $n$. Recently, Fortin-Jacob-Mathieu and Hirschhorn-Sellers independently obtained 2-, 3- and 4-dissections of the generating function for $\overline{p}(n)$ and derived a number of…

The partition relation N \to (n)_{\ell}^k means that whenever the k-tuples of an N-element set are \ell-colored, there is a monochromatic set of size n, where a set is called monochromatic if all its k-tuples have the same color. The…

The notion of cubic partitions is introduced by Hei-Chi Chan and named by Byungchan Kim in connection with Ramanujan's cubic continued fractions. Chan proved that cubic partition function has Ramanujan Type congruences modulo powers of $3$.…

We compute the congruence class modulo 16 of the number of unique path partitions of $n$ (as defined by Olsson), thus generalising previous results by Bessenrodt, Olsson and Sellers [Ann. Combin. 13 (2013), 591-602].

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 $a_3(n)$. Motivated by this result,…

We derive closed formulas for the number of $k$-coloured partitions and the number of plane partitions of $n$ in terms of the Bell polynomials.

Let $a_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of mutlicolored partitions of $n$, wherein both even parts and odd parts may appear in one of $r$-colors and $s$-colors, respectively, for fixed $r,s\ge 1$. The paper aims to study arithmetic properties…

Let spt(n) denote the total number of appearances of smallest parts in the partitions of n. Recently, Andrews showed how spt(n) is related to the second rank moment, and proved some surprising Ramanujan-type congruences mod 5, 7 and 13. We…

Recently, Lin introduced two new partition functions PD$_t(n)$ and PDO$_t(n)$, which count the total number of tagged parts over all partitions of $n$ with designated summands and the total number of tagged parts over all partitions of $n$…

We show that any planar graph $G=(V,E)$ has a 5-coloring such that one color class contains at most $|V|/6$ vertices. In other words, there exists a partition of $V$ into five independent sets $\{V_1, \cdots, V_5\}$ such that $|V_5| \leq…

Recently Lachterman, Schayer, and Younger published an elegant proof of the Ramanujan congruences for the partition function $p(n)$. Their proof uses only the classical theory of modular forms as well as a beautiful result of Choie, Kohnen,…

A $P_m$ path in a graph is a path on $m$ vertices. A $P_m$ system of order $n>1$ is a partition of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ into $P_m$ paths. A $P_m$ system is said to be $k$-colourable if the vertex set of $K_n$ can be…

In $2003$, Alladi, Andrews and Berkovich proved a four-parameter partition identity lying beyond a celebrated identity of G\"ollnitz. Since then it has been an open problem to extend their work to five or more parameters. In part I of this…
