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…

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,…

It is proved that the number of 9-regular partitions of n is divisible by 3 when n is congruent to 3 mod 4, and by 6 when n is congruent to 13 mod 16. An infinite family of congruences mod 3 holds in other progressions modulo powers of 4…

A partition n = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_k with 1 <= p_1 <= p_2 <= ... <= p_k is called non-squashing if p_1 + ... + p_j <= p_{j+1} for 1 <= j <= k-1. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that the number of non-squashing partitions of n is equal to the…

Let $b^{k}_{\ell,m}(n)$ denotes the number of $k-$colored partitions of $n$ into parts that are not multiples of $\ell$ or $m$. We establish several congruence relations for $b_{\ell,m}(n)$. For instance, for any nonnegative integer $n$…

Let $ B_{\ell}(n)$ denote the number of $\ell-$regular bipartitions of $n.$ In 2013, Lin \cite{Lin2013} proved a density result for $B_4(n).$ He showed that for any positive integer $k,$ $B_4(n)$ is almost always divisible by $2^k.$ In this…

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 note, we obtain a formula which leads to a practical and efficient method to calculate the number of partitions of n into parts not divisible by m for given natural numbers n and m.

Schur's partition theorem states that the number of partitions of n into distinct parts congruent 1, 2 (mod 3) equals the number of partitions of n into parts which differ by >= 3, where the inequality is strict if a part is a multiple of…

A partition into distinct parts is refinable if one of its parts $a$ can be replaced by two different integers which do not belong to the partition and whose sum is $a$, and it is unrefinable otherwise. Clearly, the condition of being…
