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…
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…
This paper presents the methods to utilizing the $s$-fold extension of Bailey's lemma to obtain $spt$-type functions related to the symmetrized rank function $\eta_{2k}(n).$ We provide the $k=2$ example, but clearly illustrate how deep…
We prove analytic and combinatorial identities reminiscent of Schur's classical partition theorem. Specifically, we show that certain families of overpartitions whose parts satisfy gap conditions are equinumerous with partitions whose parts…
The Dyson rank of an integer partition is the difference between its largest part and the number of parts it contains. Using Fine-Dyson symmetry, we give formulas for the number of partitions of n with rank larger than n/2, and we prove…
Let $\bar{a}_s(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$, wherein each odd part is multicolored (atmost $s\ge 1$ colors) and the first appearance of parts may be overlined. In this paper, we establish new families of congruences modulo…
In this paper we add to the literature on the combinatorial nature of the mock theta functions, a collection of curious $q$-hypergeometric series introduced by Ramanujan in his last letter to Hardy in 1920, which we now know to be important…
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…
Let spt(n) denote the total number of appearances of smallest parts in the partitions of n. Recently, Andrews showed how spt(n) is related to the second rank moment, and proved some surprising Ramanujan-type congruences mod 5, 7 and 13. We…
Recently, Hirschhorn and the first author considered the parity of the function $a(n)$ which counts the number of integer partitions of $n$ wherein each part appears with odd multiplicity. They derived an effective characterization of the…
Andrews and Newman introduced the mex-function $\text{mex}_{A,a}(\lambda)$ for an integer partition $\lambda$ of a positive integer $n$ as the smallest positive integer congruent to $a$ modulo $A$ that is not a part of $\lambda$. They then…
The study of integer partitions and their congruences dates back to 1919 when Ramanujan discovered his famous congruences for the partition function, $p(n)$. Since then, many other kinds of partition functions have been discovered, as well…
A normal odd partition T of the edges of a cubic graph is a partition into trails of odd length (no repeated edge) such that each vertex is the end vertex of exactly one trail of the partition and internal in some trail. For each vertex v,…
We compute effective bounds for $\alpha(n)$, the Fourier coefficients of Ramunujan's mock theta function $f(q)$ utilizing a finite algebraic formula due to Bruinier and Schwagenscheidt. We then use these bounds to prove two conjectures of…
We study generating functions of ordinary and plane partitions coloured by the action of a finite subgroup of the corresponding special linear group. After reviewing known results for the case of ordinary partitions, we formulate a…
Let $N(\leq m,n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with rank not greater than $m$, and let $M(\leq m,n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with crank not greater than $m$. Bringmann and Mahlburg observed that $N(\leq m,n)\leq…
It is proved that the number of partitions of n with odd mex and k parts that aren't ones equals the number of partitions of n with nonnegative crank and k parts that aren't ones..
In $1944$, Freeman Dyson defined the concept of rank of an integer partition and introduced without definition the term of crank of an integer partition. A definition for the crank satisfying the properties hypothesized for it by Dyson was…
The 2-color partitions may be considered as an extension of regular partitions of a natural number $n$, with $p_{k}(n)$ defined as the number of 2-colored partitions of $n$ where one of the 2 colors appears only in parts that are multiples…
In this paper, we prove some new \(q\)-series identities connecting \(4\)-regular partitions and partitions with distinct even parts with largest part being odd. We also define three new partition functions with distinct even parts except…
