文摘

The notion of broken k  -diamond partitions was introduced by Andrews and Paule. Let 74095ec4d0b370bb513ecfed5bed3613" title="Click to view the MathML source">Δ_k(n)${\mathrm{\Delta }}_k(n)$ denote the number of broken k-diamond partitions of n for a fixed positive integer k  . Recently, Chan, and Paule and Radu proved some congruences modulo 5 for 728e0ddd116abb" title="Click to view the MathML source">Δ₂(n)${\mathrm{\Delta }}_2(n)$. In this paper, we prove several new infinite families of congruences modulo 5 for 728e0ddd116abb" title="Click to view the MathML source">Δ₂(n)${\mathrm{\Delta }}_2(n)$ by using an identity due to Newman. Our results generalize the congruences proved by Paule and Radu.
