Abstract

We discuss a new restricted m-ary overpartition function , which is the number of hyper m-ary overpartitions of n, such that each power of m is allowed to be used at most m times as a non-overlined part. In this note we use generating function dissections to prove the following family of congruences for all n ≥ 0, m ≥ 4, j ≥ 0, 3 ≤ km – 1, and t ≥ 1:
