Abstract

Let $p_{\{3, 3\}}(n)$ denote the number of $3$ -regular partitions in three colours. Da Silva and Sellers [‘Arithmetic properties of 3-regular partitions in three colours’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 104(3) (2021), 415–423] conjectured four Ramanujan-like congruences modulo $5$ satisfied by $p_{\{3, 3\}}(n)$ . We confirm these conjectural congruences using the theory of modular forms.
