Motivated by Andrews' partitions with initial repetitions, we derive parity formulas for several functions for this class of partitions. In many cases, we present an infinite family of Ramanujan-like congruences modulo 2.

George Andrews and Mohamed El Bachraoui recently explored identities for two-color partitions. In particular, they studied the connection between two-colored partitions and overpartitions. Their proofs were analytical, but they conjectured…

In 2017, Andrews, Dixit, Schultz and Yee introduced the function $\overline{\textrm{spt}}_\omega(n)$, which denotes the number of smallest parts in the overpartitions of $n$ in which the smallest part is always overlined and all odd parts…

We study $\nu_k(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ part sizes, and find numerous arithmetic progressions where $\nu_2$ and $\nu_3$ take on values divisible by 2 and 4. Expanding earlier work, we show $\nu_2(An+B) \equiv 0…

The number of standard Young tableaux of shape a partition $\lambda$ is called the dimension of the partition and is denoted by $f^{\lambda}$. Partitions with odd dimensions were enumerated by McKay and were further characterized by…

We give a new proof of a partition theorem popularly known as Elder's theorem, but which is also credited to Stanley and Fine. We extend the theorem to the context of colored partitions (or prefabs). More specifically, we give analogous…

The theory of partition congruences has been a fascinating and difficult subject for over a century now. In attempting to prove a given congruence family, multiple possible complications include the genus of the underlying modular curve,…

In 2003, Alladi, Andrews and Berkovich proved an identity for partitions where parts occur in eleven colors: four primary colors, six secondary colors, and one quaternary color. Their work answered a longstanding question of how to go…

In a recent work, Nadji and Ahmia introduced the $t$-Schur overpartitions as an overpartition analogue for $t$-Schur partitions, which generalizes the classical Schur's partitions into parts congruent to $1$ or $5$ modulo $6$. We continue…

Andrews and El Bachraoui recently studied various two-colored integer partitions, including those related to two-colored partitions into distinct parts with constraints and overpartitions. Their work raised questions about the existence of…

Let $S$ be a finite set of geometric objects partitioned into classes or \emph{colors}. A subset $S'\subseteq S$ is said to be \emph{balanced} if $S'$ contains the same amount of elements of $S$ from each of the colors. We study several…

We consider some coloring issues related to the famous Erd\H {o}s Discrepancy Problem. A set of the form $A_{s,k}=\{s,2s,\dots,ks\}$, with $s,k\in \mathbb{N}$, is called a \emph{homogeneous arithmetic progression}. We prove that for every…

Motivated by a partition inequality of Bessenrodt and Ono, we obtain analogous inequalities for $k$-colored partition functions $p_{-k}(n)$ for all $k\geq2$. This enables us to extend the $k$-colored partition function multiplicatively to a…
