Abstract

The notion of Fu's k dots bracelet partitions was introduced by Shishuo Fu. For any positive integer k, let 𝔅k(n) denote the number of Fu's k dots bracelet partitions of n. Fu also proved several congruences modulo primes and modulo powers of 2. Recently, Radu and Sellers extended the set of congruences proven by Fu by proving three congruences modulo squares of primes for 𝔅5(n), 𝔅7(n) and 𝔅11(n). More recently, Cui and Gu, and Xia and the author derived a number of congruences modulo powers of 2 for 𝔅5(n). In this paper, we prove four congruences modulo 2 and two congruences modulo 4 for 𝔅9(n) by establishing the generating functions of 𝔅9(An+B) modulo 4 for some values of A and B.
