We prove multiplicative congruences mod $2^{12}$ for George Andrews's partition function, $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part and only the largest even part…

Recently, Ballantine and Welch considered various generalizations and refinements of POD and PED partitions. These are integer partitions wherein the odd parts must be distinct (in the case of POD partitions) or the even parts must be…

Given an undirected graph representing similarities between a set of items and an additive measure evaluating the items, we treat the position of a special subset of items in an ordinal ranking through a collection of combinatorial…

Recently, Andrews and Bachraoui considered a generating function $F_{k,m}(q)$ associated with certain two-color partitions, and conjectured that this function has non-negative coefficients for $m=1$. They showed this property for $1 \leq k…

Our main result shows that for every odd natural number n > 1 there is a partition of the rational numbers, x/2n in lowest terms, in the unit interval, the product of whose Gamma values takes the form of powers of 2 and pi.

The aim of this note is to provoke discussion concerning arithmetic properties of function $p_{d}(n)$ counting partitions of an positive integer $n$ into $d$-th powers, where $d\geq 2$. Besides results concerning the asymptotic behavior of…

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 $24$.

Let $\ell \geq 5$ be prime. For the partition function $p(n)$ and $5 \leq \ell \leq 31$, Atkin found a number of examples of primes $Q \geq 5$ such that there exist congruences of the form $p(\ell Q^{3} n+\beta) \equiv 0 \pmod{\ell}.$…

In the integer case, the Smarandache function of a positive integer $n$ is defined to be the smallest positive integer $k$ such that $n$ divides the factorial $k!$. In this paper, we first define a natural order for polynomials in…

Amdeberhan and Merca recently studied arithmetic properties of the sequence $a(n)$, the reciprocal of the crank parity function, which counts the number of integer partitions of weight $n$ whose even parts are monochromatic and whose odd…

An ordered partition of $[n]=\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ is a partition whose blocks are endowed with a linear order. Let $\mathcal{OP}_{n,k}$ be set of ordered partitions of $[n]$ with $k$ blocks and $\mathcal{OP}_{n,k}(\sigma)$ be set of ordered…

In this note we conjecture Rogers-Ramanujan type colored partition identities for an array with odd number of rows w such that the first and the last row consist of even positive integers. In a strange way this is different from the…

We obtain a finite analogue of a recent generalization of an identity in Ramanujan's Notebooks. Differentiating it with respect to one of the parameters leads to a result whose limiting case gives a finite analogue of Andrews' famous…

This article is an extensive study of partitions with fixed number of odd and even-indexed odd parts. We use these partitions to generalize recent results of C. Savage and A. Sills. Moreover, we derive explicit formulas for generating…

Let $T_\ell(n)$ denote the number of $\ell-$regular partition triples of $n$ and let $p_{\ell, 3}(n)$ enumerates the number of 2--color partition triples of $n$ where one of the colors appear only in parts that are multiples of $\ell$. In…

An infinite integer matrix A is called image partition regular if, whenever the natural numbers are finitely coloured, there is an integer vector x such that Ax is monochromatic. Given an image partition regular matrix A, can we also insist…

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…

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…

Let \pi be a partition. In [2] we defined BG-rank(\pi) as an alternating sum of parities of parts. This statistic was employed to generalize and refine the famous Ramanujan modulo 5 partition congruence. Let p_j(n)(a_{t,j}(n)) denote a…

Let $\beta(q)=\sum_{n\ge 0} \mathfrak{b}(n)q^n$ be a second order mock theta function defined by $$\sum_{n\ge 0}\frac{q^{n(n+1)}(-q^2;q^2)_n}{(q;q^2)_{n+1}^2}.$$ In this paper, we obtain an infinite family of congruences modulo powers of…
