Let P be a polygon whose vertices have been colored (labeled) cyclically with the numbers 1,2,...,c. Motivated by conjectures of Propp, we are led to consider partitions of P into k-gons which are proper in the sense that each k-gon…

In 2015 Cristian-Silviu Radu designed an algorithm to detect identities of a class studied by Ramanujan and Kolberg. This class includes the famous identities by Ramanujan which provide a witness to the divisibility properties of $p(5n+4),$…

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 $3$.…

Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…

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…

A cubic partition consists of partition pairs $(\lambda,\mu)$ such that $\vert\lambda\vert+\vert\mu\vert=n$ where $\mu$ involves only even integers but no restriction is placed on $\lambda$. This paper initiates the notion of generalized…

We prove a family of partition identities involving integer partitions in three colors. The conditions imposed on the types of partitions appearing in these identities involve constraints that arise in the Rogers-Ramanujan and…

For integers $0 < r \leq t$, let the function $D_{r,t}(n)$ denote the number of parts among all partitions of $n$ into distinct parts that are congruent to $r$ modulo $t$. We prove the asymptotic formula $$D_{r,t}(n) \sim \dfrac{3^{\frac…

Folsom, Kent, and Ono used the theory of modular forms modulo $\ell$ to establish remarkable ``self-similarity'' properties of the partition function and give an overarching explanation of many partition congruences. We generalize their…

We consider sequences counting integer partitions in two colors (red and blue) in which the even parts occur only in blue color. We focus on subsequences defined by constraints on the parity and color of the summands. We establish formulas…

Let $\overline{p}_{j,k}(n)$ denotes the number of $(j,k)$-regular overpartitions of a positive integer $n$ such that none of the parts is congruent to $j$ modulo $k$. Naika et. al. (2021) proved infinite families of congruences modulo…

We give a series of recursive identities for the number of partitions with exactly $k$ parts and with constraints on both the minimal difference among the parts and the minimal part. Using these results we demonstrate that the number of…

In order to provide a unified combinatorial interpretation of congruences modulo $5$ for 2-colored partition functions, Garvan introduced a bicrank statistic in terms of weighted vector partitions. In this paper, we obtain some inequalities…

For a positive integer $n$, let $B_{\ell_1,\dots,\ell_r}(n)$ denote the number of $(\ell_1,\ell_2,\cdots,\ell_r)$-regular multipartitions of $n$. If $\ell_1=\ell_2=\cdots=\ell_r=\ell$, then we denote $B_{\ell_1,\dots,\ell_r}(n)$ as…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ be the number of overpartitions of $n$, we establish and give a short elementary proof of the following congruence \[\overline{p}({{4}^{\alpha }}(40n+35))\equiv 0 \, (\bmod \, 40),\] where $\alpha ,n $ are nonnegative…

Andrews and the third author recently studied congruences for certain restricted two-color partitions. They made two conjectures for Ramanujan-type congruences and a vanishing identity for the limiting sequence. In this paper, we settle…

We present a proof of Ramanujan's congruences $$p(5n+4) \equiv 0 \pmod 5 \text{ and } \tau(5n+5) \equiv 0 \pmod 5.$$ The proof only requires a limiting case of Jacobi's triple product, a result that Ramanujan knew well, and a technique…

We consider a class of generating functions analogous to the generating function of the partition function and establish a bound on the primes $\ell$ for which their coefficients $c(n)$ obey congruences of the form $c(\ell n + a) \equiv 0…

In a recent article on overpartitions, Merca considered the auxiliary function $a(n)$ which counts the number of partitions of $n$ where odd parts are repeated at most twice (and there are no restrictions on the even parts). In the course…
