For any non-negative integer $n$ and non-zero integer $r$, let $p_r(n)$ denote Ramanujan's general partition function. By employing $q$-identities, we prove some new Ramanujan-type congruences modulo 5 for $p_r(n)$ for $r=-(5\lambda+1),…

The enumeration $d_k(n)$ of $k$-elongated plane partition diamonds has emerged as a generalization of the classical integer partition function $p(n)$. Congruences for $d_k(n)$ modulo certain powers of primes have been proven via elementary…

We prove several Ramanujan-type congruences modulo powers of $5$ for partition $k$-tuples with $5$-cores, for $k=2, 3, 4$. We also prove some new infinite families of congruences modulo powers of primes for $k$-tuples with $p$-cores, where…

Let $b_{\ell, k}(n), b_{\ell, k, r}(n)$ count the number of $(\ell, k)$, $(\ell, k, r)$-regular partitions respectively. In this paper we shall derive infinite families of congruences for $b_{\ell, k}(n)$ modulo $2$ when $ (\ell, k) =…

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…

In this paper, we establish two new Ramanujan-type congruences for the overpartition function: $\overline{p}(11\times(8n+5))\equiv 0 \pmod{11}$ and $\overline{p}(13\times 2^6(8n+7))\equiv 0 \pmod{13}$. The proofs rely on the theory of…

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,…
