Abstract

Amdeberhan et al. (2024) introduced the notion of a generalized overcubic partition function ac(n)\overline a_c (n) and proved an infinite family of congruences modulo a prime p3p\ge 3 and some Ramanujan type congruences. In this paper, we show that a2λm+t(n)at(n)(mod2λ+1)\overline a_{2^\lambda m+t}(n) \equiv \overline a_t (n) \pmod {2^{\lambda+1}}, where λ1,m0,\lambda \geq1, m\geq0, and t1t\geq1 are integers. We also prove some new congruences modulo 88 and 1616 for a2m+1(n),a2m+2(n),a8m+3(n)\overline a_{2m+1}(n), \overline a_{2m+2}(n), \overline a_{8m+3}(n), where mm is any non-negative integer.
