摘要

We give Euler-like recursive formulas for the t-colored partition function when \(t=2\) t = 2 or \(t=3,\) t = 3 , as well as for all t-regular partition functions. In particular, we derive an infinite family of “triangular number” recurrences for the 3-colored partition function. Our proofs are inspired by the recent work of Gomez, Ono, Saad, and Singh on the ordinary partition function and make extensive use of q-series identities for \((q;q)_{\infty }\) ( q ; q ) and \((q;q)_{\infty }^3.\) ( q ; q ) 3 .
