Let $\overline{\mathrm{spt}}k(n)$ denote the number of overpartitions of $n$ where the smallest non-overlined part, say $s(\pi)$, appears $k$ times and every overlined part is bigger than $s(\pi)$. Let $\overline{\mathrm{spt}}k_o(n)$ denote…

Let $f(n,\ell)$ be the maximum integer such that every set of $n$ points in the plane with at most $\ell$ collinear contains a subset of $f(n,\ell)$ points with no three collinear. First we prove that if $\ell \leq O(\sqrt{n})$ then…

In 2009, Corteel, Savelief and Vuleti\'c generalized the concept of overpartitions to a new object called plane overpartitions. In recent work, the author considered a restricted form of plane overpartitions called $k$-rowed plane…

For coprime nonzero integers $a$ and $b$, a positive integer $\ell$ is said to be {\em good} with respect to $a$ and $b$ if there exists a positive integer $k$ such that $\ell |(a^{k}+b^{k})$. Since the early 1990s, such classical good…

For a positive integer $t\geq 2$, let $b_{t}(n)$ denote the number of $t$-regular partitions of a nonnegative integer $n$. Motivated by some recent conjectures of Keith and Zanello, we establish infinite families of congruences modulo $2$…

In this paper, we consider the set of partitions $pend(n)$ which enumerates the number of partitions of $n$ wherein the even parts are not allowed to be distinct. Using a result of Newman, we prove a few infinite families of congruences…

Recently, Chen, He, Hu and Xie considered the parity of the number of non-overlined (resp. overlined) parts of size greater than or equal to the size of the smallest overlined (resp. non-overlined) part in an overpartition. In this article,…

In 2014, as part of a larger study of overpartitions with restrictions of the overlined parts based on residue classes, Munagi and Sellers defined $d_2(n)$ as the number of overpartitions of weight $n$ wherein only even parts can be…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ denote the number of overpartitions of $n$. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that $\overline{p}(4n+3)\equiv 0 \pmod{8}$ for $n\geq 0$. They also conjectured that $\overline{p}(40n+35)\equiv 0 \pmod{40}$ for $n\geq 0$.…

In this paper, we consider the set of partitions $ped(n)$ which counts the number of partitions of $n$ wherein the even parts are distinct (and the odd parts are unrestricted). Using an algorithm developed by Radu, we prove congruences…

Let $k$ and $\ell$ be positive integers. We prove that if $1 \leq \ell \leq o_k(k^{6/5})$, then in every large enough graph $G$, the fraction of $k$-vertex subsets that induce exactly $\ell$ edges is at most $1/e + o_k(1)$. Together with a…

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…

We discuss a new companion to Capparelli's identities. Capparelli's identities for m=1,2 state that the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts not congruent to m, -m modulo $6$ is equal to the number of partitions of n into…

Andrews, Brietzke, R\o dseth and Sellers proved an infinite family of congruences on the number of the restricted $m$-ary partitions when $m$ is a prime. In this note, we show that these congruences hold for arbitrary positive integer $m$…

In 2021 da Silva, Hirschhorn, and Sellers studied a wide variety of congruences for the $k$-elongated plane partition function $d_k(n)$ by various primes. They also conjectured the existence of an infinite congruence family modulo…

For the past several years, numerous authors have studied POD and PED partitions from a variety of perspectives. These are integer partitions wherein the odd parts must be distinct (in the case of POD partitions) or the even parts must be…

We study the smallest, as well as the largest numbers of congruences of lattices of an arbitrary finite cardinality $n$. Continuing the work of Freese and Cz\' edli, we prove that the third, fourth and fifth largest numbers of congruences…

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…

Recently, Andrews and Dastidar introduced the partition function $SOME(n)$, defined as the sum of all the odd parts in the partitions of $n$ minus the sum of all the even parts in the partitions of $n$. They derived its generating function…

Let $a_k(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ wherein even parts come in only one color, while the odd parts may be ``colored" with one of $k$ colors, for fixed $k$. In this note, we find some congruences for $a_k(n)$ in the spirit of…
