چکیده

In 2007, Andrews and Paule introduced the family of functions [Formula: see text] which enumerate the number of broken k-diamond partitions for a fixed positive integer k. Since then, numerous mathematicians have considered partitions congruences satisfied by [Formula: see text] for small values of k. In this work, we provide an extensive analysis of the parity of the function [Formula: see text], including a number of Ramanujan-like congruences modulo 2. This will be accomplished by completely characterizing the values of [Formula: see text] modulo 2 for [Formula: see text] and any value of [Formula: see text]. In contrast, we conjecture that, for any integers [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is infinitely often even and infinitely often odd. In this sense, we generalize Subbarao's Conjecture for this function [Formula: see text]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first generalization of Subbarao's Conjecture in the literature.

PARITY RESULTS FOR BROKEN k–DIAMOND PARTITIONS AND (2k + 1)–CORES

In this paper we prove several new parity results for broken k-diamond partitions introduced in 2007 by Andrews and Paule. In the process, we also prove numerous congruence properties for (2k+1)-core partitions. The proof technique involves a general lemma on congruences which is based on modular forms.

On the Broken 1-diamond Partition

Abstract. We introduce a crank-like statistic for a different class of partitions. In [AP], Andrews and Paule initiated the study of broken k-diamond partitions. Their study of the respective generating functions led to an infinite family of modular forms, about which they were able to produce interesting arithmetic theorems and conjectures for the related partition functions. Here we establish...

CONGRUENCES MODULO SQUARES OF PRIMES FOR FU’S k DOTS BRACELET PARTITIONS

Abstract. In 2007, Andrews and Paule introduced the family of functions ∆k(n) which enumerate the number of broken k–diamond partitions for a fixed positive integer k. In that paper, Andrews and Paule proved that, for all n ≥ 0, ∆1(2n + 1) ≡ 0 (mod 3) using a standard generating function argument. Soon after, Shishuo Fu provided a combinatorial proof of this same congruence. Fu also utilized th...

Could we learn more about HERA high Q 2 anomaly from LEP 200 and TEVATRON ? R - parity violation scenario

The excess of high Q 2 events at HERA reported in the early 1997 by H1 and ZEUS collaborations has become the subject of extensive studies in the framework of several models related to new physics. Here we concentrate on the most promising , from our point of view, model describing HERA anomaly. We update our previous analysis [3] and take into account new HERA statistics of the 1997 year. HERA...

CFD analysis of natural convection heat transfer in a square cavity with partitions utilizing Al2O3 nanofluid

In the present study, natural convective heat transfer in a partitioned square cavity utilizing nanofluids is studied. The vertical left and right walls are considered as the hot and cold walls, respectively and the partitions assumed to be adiabatic. The nanofluid used in this study is Al2O3 with the volume fraction of 20%. It is assumed that nanofluid is a single phase f...
