CONGRUENCES MODULO 5 AND 7 FOR 4-COLORED GENERALIZED FROBENIUS PARTITIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 December 2016
Abstract
Let $c\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{k}(n)$ denote the number of $k$-colored generalized Frobenius partitions of $n$. Recently, new Ramanujan-type congruences associated with $c\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{4}(n)$ were discovered. In this article, we discuss two approaches in proving such congruences using the theory of modular forms. Our methods allow us to prove congruences such as $c\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{4}(14n+6)\equiv 0\;\text{mod}\;7$ and Seller’s congruence $c\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{4}(10n+6)\equiv 0\;\text{mod}\;5$.
