General partitions, theta-functions, $q$-identities.Abstract
In the present work, for the general partition function $p_k(n)$, we establish five new infinite families of congruences. Our emphasis throughout this paper is to exhibit the use of $q$-identities to generate congruences for the general partition function.References
