Let $b_\ell(n)$ be the number of $\ell$-regular partitions of $n$. Recently, Hou et al established several infinite families of congruences for $b_\ell(n)$ modulo $m$, where $(\ell,m)=(3,3),(6,3),(5,5),(10,5)$ and $(7,7)$. In this paper, by…
In 1984, Andrews introduced the family of partition functions \(c\phi_k(n)\), which counts the number of generalized Frobenius partitions of \(n\) with \(k\) colors. In previous work, we proved a conjecture on congruences for \(c\phi_6(n)\)…
George Andrews and Peter Paule have recently conjectured an infinite family of congruences modulo powers of 3 for the 2-elongated plane partition function $d_2(n)$. This congruence family appears difficult to prove by classical methods. We…
For a fixed positive integer $k$, let $C(k,n)$ denote the number of two-color partitions of $n$ with odd smallest part and restrictions on even parts, and let $C_k(q)$ be its generating function. We show that $C(1,n)\equiv d(2n-1)\pmod{4}$…
Partitions wherein the even parts appear in two different colours are known as cubic partitions. Recently, Merca introduced and studied the function $A(n)$, which is defined as the difference between the number of cubic partitions of $n$…
In his 1984 AMS Memoir, George Andrews defined the family of $k$--colored generalized Frobenius partition functions. These are denoted by $c\phi_k(n)$ where $k\geq 1$ is the number of colors in question. In that Memoir, Andrews proved…
In this article we exhibit new explicit families of congruences for the overpartition function, making effective the existence results given previously by Treneer. We give infinite families of congruences modulo $m$ for $m = 5, 7, 11$, and…

A cubic partition is an integer partition wherein the even parts can appear in two colors. In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized cubic partitions and prove a number of new congruences akin to the classical Ramanujan-type. We…
Recently, Hirschhorn and Sellers defined the partition function $a_r(n)$, which counts the number of partitions of $n$ wherein even parts come in only one color, while the odd parts may appear in one of $r$-colors for fixed $r\ge1$. The aim…
In 2002, Andrews, Lewis, and Lovejoy introduced the combinatorial objects which they called \emph{partitions with designated summands}. These are built by taking unrestricted integer partitions and designating exactly one of each occurrence…

Let $ped(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ wherein even parts are distinct (and odd parts are unrestricted). We show infinite families of congruences for $ped(n)$ modulo $8$. We also examine the behavior of $ped_{-2}(n)$ modulo $8$…
For any relatively prime integers $r$ and $s$, let $a_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of $(r,s)$-regular partitions of a positive integer of $n$ into distinct parts. Prasad and Prasad (2018) proved many infinite families of congruences modulo 2…
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…
For rational $\alpha$, the fractional partition functions $p_\alpha(n)$ are given by the coefficients of the generating function $(q;q)^\alpha_\infty$. When $\alpha=-1$, one obtains the usual partition function. Congruences of the form…
