In this paper, we investigate the arithmetic properties of the difference between the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ with even crank and those with odd crank, denoted $C(n)=c_e(n)-c_o(n)$. Inspired by Ramanujan's classical…

In 2014, Wang and Cai established the following harmonic congruence for any odd prime $p$ and positive integer $r$, \begin{equation*} \sum\limits_{i+j+k=p^{r}\atop{i,j,k\in \mathcal{P}_{p}}}\frac{1}{ijk}\equiv-2p^{r-1}B_{p-3} ~(\bmod ~…

We denote the number of partitions of $n$ wherein the even parts are distinct (and the odd parts are unrestricted) by $ped(n)$. In this paper, we will use generating function manipulations to obtain new congruences for $ped(n)$ modulo $24$.

A $k$-regular partition into distinct parts is a partition into distinct parts with no part divisible by $k$. In this paper, we provide a general method to establish the unimodality of $k$-regular partition into distinct parts where the…

Let $b_k(n)$ denote the $k-$regular partitons of a natural number $n$. In this paper, we study the behavior of $b_k(n)$ modulo composite integers $M$ which are coprime to $6$. Specially, we prove that for arbitrary $k-$regular partiton…

Let m be a positive integer, and let A be the set of all positive integers that belong to a union of r distinct congruence classes modulo m. We assume that the elements of A are relatively prime, that is, gcd(A) = 1. Let p_A(n) denote the…

Motivated by the study of integer partitions, we consider partitions of integers into fractions of a particular form, namely with constant denominators and distinct odd or even numerators. When numerators are odd, the numbers of partitions…

Previous work showed that, for $\nu_2(n)$ the number of partitions of $n$ into exactly two part sizes, one has $\nu_2(16n + 14) \equiv 0 \pmod{4}$. The earlier proof required the technology of modular forms, and a combinatorial proof was…

Recently, Andrews defined a partition function $\mathcal{EO}(n)$ which counts the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part. He also defined a partition function $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$ which…
