Some Tur\'an type inequalities for Struve functions of the first kind are deduced by using various methods developed in the case of Bessel functions of the first and second kind. New formulas, like Mittag-Leffler expansion, infinite product…

Andrews' $(k, i)$-singular overpartition function $\overline{C}_{k, i}(n)$ counts the number of overpartitions of $n$ in which no part is divisible by $k$ and only parts $\equiv \pm i\pmod{k}$ may be overlined. In recent times, divisibility…

In 2014, as part of a larger study of overpartitions with restrictions of the overlined parts based on residue classes, Munagi and Sellers defined $d_2(n)$ as the number of overpartitions of weight $n$ wherein only even parts can be…

The spt-function spt($n$) was introduced by Andrews as the weighted counting of partitions of $n$ with respect to the number of occurrences of the smallest part. In this survey, we summarize recent developments in the study of spt($n$),…

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,…

In this paper, we obtain upper and lower bounds for the partition function $p(n)$ by using an elementary geometric inequality in Euclidean space, and we extend the method to generalizations of the partition function.

Amdeberhan et al. (2024) introduced the notion of a generalized overcubic partition function $\overline a_c (n)$ and proved an infinite family of congruences modulo a prime $p\ge 3$ and some Ramanujan type congruences. In this paper, we…

In this paper our aim is to deduce some sharp Tur\'an type inequalities for the remainder $q-$exponential functions. Our results are shown to be a generalization of results which were obtained by Alzer \cite{al}.

Carbery proposed the following sharpened form of triangle inequality for many functions: for any $p\ge 2$ and any finite sequence $(f_j)_j\subset L^p$ we have \[ \Big\|\sum_j f_j\Big\|_p \ \le\ \left(\sup_{j} \sum_{k}…

Motivated by the work of P. Lindqvist, we study eigenfunctions of the one-dimensional $p$-Laplace operator, the $\sin_p$ functions, and prove several inequalities for these and $p$-analogues of other trigonometric functions and their…

We introduce a statistic on overpartitions called the $\overline{k}$-rank. When there are no overlined parts, this coincides with the $k$-rank of a partition introduced by Garvan. Moreover, it reduces to the D-rank of an overpartition when…

In this paper, we generalize Andrews' partitions separated by parity to overpartitions in two ways. We investigate the generating functions for 16 overpartition families whose parts are separated by parity, and we prove various $q$-series…

One of the most basic results concerning the number-theoretic properties of the partition function $p(n)$ is that $p(n)$ takes each value of parity infinitely often. This statement was first proved by Kolberg in 1959, and it was…

Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…
