In 2010, Andrews, Michael D. Hirschhorn and James A. Sellers considered the function ped(n), the number of partition of an integer n with even parts distinct (the odd parts are unrestricted). They obtained infinite families of congruences in the spirit of Ramanujan's congruences for the unrestricted partition function p(n). Let b(n) denote the number of 5-regular bipartitions of a positive integer n with even parts distinct (odd parts are unrestricted). In this paper, we establish many infinite families of congruences modulo powers of 2 for b(n). For example, ∞ n=0 b 16 • 3 2α • 5 2β n + 14 • 3 2α • 5 2β + 1 q n ≡ 8 f 3 2 f 3 5 (mod 16),where α, β ≥ 0.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
