In this paper, we shall present two new congruences modulo $11$ for $p_2(n)$. We also provide an elementary alternative proof of a congruence established by Chan. Furthermore, we will establish a recursion for $p_2(n)$, which is a special case of a broader class of recursions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-25T05:19:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11P83", "05A17" ], "keywords": [ "cubic partitions", "congruences modulo", "elementary alternative proof", "special case", "broader class" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160106480C" } } }
