Some combinatorics involving ξ-large sets

Teresa Bigorajska, Henryk Kotlarski (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove a version of the Ramsey theorem for partitions of (increasing) n-tuples. We derive this result from a version of König's infinity lemma for ξ-large trees. Here ξ < ε₀ and the notion of largeness is in the sense of Hardy hierarchy.

Some congruences for 3-component multipartitions

Tao Yan Zhao, Lily J. Jin, C. Gu (2016)

Open Mathematics

Let p3(n) denote the number of 3-component multipartitions of n. Recently, using a 3-dissection formula for the generating function of p3(n), Baruah and Ojah proved that for n ≥ 0, p3(9n + 5) ≡ 0 (mod 33) and p3 (9n + 8) ≡ 0 (mod 34). In this paper, we prove several congruences modulo powers of 3 for p3(n) by using some theta function identities. For example, we prove that for n ≥ 0, p3 (243n + 233) ≡ p3 (729n + 638) ≡ 0 (mod 310).

Some congruences involving binomial coefficients

Hui-Qin Cao, Zhi-Wei Sun (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Binomial coefficients and central trinomial coefficients play important roles in combinatorics. Let p > 3 be a prime. We show that T p - 1 ( p / 3 ) 3 p - 1 ( m o d p ² ) , where the central trinomial coefficient Tₙ is the constant term in the expansion of ( 1 + x + x - 1 ) . We also prove three congruences modulo p³ conjectured by Sun, one of which is k = 0 p - 1 p - 1 k 2 k k ( ( - 1 ) k - ( - 3 ) - k ) ( p / 3 ) ( 3 p - 1 - 1 ) ( m o d p ³ ) . In addition, we get some new combinatorial identities.

Some finite generalizations of Euler's pentagonal number theorem

Ji-Cai Liu (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Euler's pentagonal number theorem was a spectacular achievement at the time of its discovery, and is still considered to be a beautiful result in number theory and combinatorics. In this paper, we obtain three new finite generalizations of Euler's pentagonal number theorem.
