Based on a bijection due to Fu and Tang, we provide combinatorial proofs of several partition identities of Andrews and Merca. We also introduce two weights for partitions to extend one of these identities.

Recently, Andrews, Dixit and Yee introduced partition functions associated with Ramanujan/Watson third order mock theta functions $\omega(q)$ and $\nu(q)$. In this paper, we find several new exact generating functions for those partition…

We study the divisibility properties of the partition function associated with the eighth order mock theta function $V_0(q)$, introduced by Gordon and McIntosh. We obtain congruences modulo powers of 2 for certain coefficients of the…

We give a bijection between the set of self-conjugate partitions and that of ordinary partitions. Also, we show the relation between hook lengths of self conjugate partition and corresponding partition via the bijection. As a corollary, we…

Let $n$ and $t$ be positive integers with $t\geq 2$. Let $R_t(n)$ be the number of $t$-regular partitions of $n$. A class of functions, denoted $\tau_k(n)$, is defined as follows:…

We give short elementary expositions of combinatorial proofs of some variants of Euler's partitition problem that were first addressed analytically by George Andrews, and later combinatorially by others. Our methods, based on ideas from a…

We prove combinatorially some identities related to Euler's partition identity (the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts equals the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts). They were conjectured by Beck and proved by Andrews…

In the paper, we give partition-theoretic results for the coefficients of some mock theta functions and prove their congruence properties. Some recurrence relations connecting the coefficients of the mock theta functions with certain…

It was recently shown that $q\omega(q)$, where $\omega(q)$ is one of the third order mock theta functions, is the generating function of $p_{\omega}(n)$, the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ such that all odd parts are less…

In this paper, we present a generalization of one of the theorems in [G. E. Andrews, Partitions with parts separated by parity, \textit{Annals of Combinatorics} \textbf{23}(2019), 241 - 248], and give its bijective proof. Further variations…

The partition function, $p_A(n)$, is defined to be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in the set A, where $n$ is a positive integer and $A$ is a set of positive integers. It is well documented that: if A is a finite set with…

Linear inequalities involving Euler's partition function $p(n)$ have been the subject of recent studies. In this article, we consider the partition function $Q(n)$ counting the partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. Using truncated theta…

We study a curious class of partitions, the parts of which obey an exceedingly strict congruence condition we refer to as "sequential congruence": the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part…

In 2015, Bringmann, Lovejoy and Mahlburg considered certain kinds overpartitions, which can been seen as the overpartition analogue of Schur's partition. The motivation of their work is that the difference between the generating function of…
