Abstract

In one of their most recent works, George Andrews and Peter Paule continue their study of partition functions via MacMahon's Partition Analysis by considering partition functions associated with directed graphs which consist of chains of hexagons. In the process, they prove a congruence related to one of these partition functions and conjecture a number of similar congruence results. Our first goal in this note is to reprove this congruence by explicitly finding the generating function in question. We then prove one of the conjectures posed by Andrews and Paule as well as a number of congruences not mentioned by them. All of our results follow from straightforward generating function manipulations.
